HP uses a WLAN module from Intel (Wireless-AC 7265). The module supports the 802.11a/b/g/n WLAN standards and the fast ac standard. We did not notice any connection interruptions between the router and the notebook. We measured transfer speeds under optimal conditions: no other WLAN devices were in the vicinity and the notebook and server PC were close. Despite these conditions, the EliteBook did not deliver impressive speeds. As shown in the diagram, other models reached much faster speeds using the newer Intel Wireless-AC 8260.

Display

The EliteBook 725 G2 is equipped with the same panel as the EliteBook 820 G2. This matte 12.5-inch display (1366×768 pixels) offers low brightness, poor contrast and unstable viewing angles. We expected a lot more given the price tag of this device. Positive: the screen does not show any signs of PWM flickering. The EliteBook can also be purchased with a Full HD screen.
