The EliteBook sports multiple ports for connectivity, 2 USB Type-C ports (Thunderbolt, supports Power Deliver 3.0, DisplayPort 1.2), 2 USB 3.1 Gen 1 ports (5 Gbps signaling rate), 1 HDMI 1.4b (cable sold separately), 1 Headphone/microphone combo jack, 1 AC power input port and interestingly 1 Nano SIM card slot (for devices that support WWAN).

With a flexible 360-degree hinge and an optional 5 MP auto-focusing world-facing camera, students and teachers can create, capture, and draw whether in laptop, tablet, tent, stand, or book mode. The optional active HP Pro Pen encourages hands-on learning with the interactive touchscreen.
