Display is matte, and has 15.4 inch diagonal and 1280x800 resolution. Cover can be rotated for more than 180 degrees – option that is rarely seen but can be in some circumstances useful. Displayed picture isn’t the best we saw but since there is no reflection, it has similar quality as one on 6735s model. This display has small viewing angles and interesting is the fact that manufacturers are backing up this decision with increased privacy concern. They claim that smaller viewing angles of display minimize possibility that someone from your surroundings can see what is displayed on your notebook. Of course this is true but we think that manufacturers should use better displays and users should avoid bad company at working hours. Of course there are models with displays that have bigger resolutions (1680x1050). Besides bigger resolution those are also overall better displays.

Speakers that are frontally mounted are solid but thanks to their position they sound worse than they actually are. Webcam is not something that this notebook can be proud of. Video conferencing won’t be smooth regardless of your internet connection type.

Central Processing Unit has remarkable performances and interesting fact is that in moments of increased load it can raise frequency of one core at 2.4GHz. This way it is avoided unnecessary usage of other core in some cases and lower power consumption. Graphics card is absolutely adopted for business users and thanks to it HP Compaq 6730b has great autonomy.

Since this is business model, there are lots of software-hardware security solutions implemented. Data on hard disk can be encrypted and for disk protection in case of accidents is responsible 3D Drive Guard.
