Released in late 2014, the HP EliteBook 725 G2 is part of HP’s second-generation 700-series of business notebooks, designed to offer enterprise-grade performance and reliability in a compact 12.5-inch form factor. The “725” designation identifies it as a 12.5-inch model within HP’s AMD-powered EliteBook line (the 745 and 755 representing the 14- and 15.6-inch variants), while “G2” denotes its status as the second generation.

Built to meet MIL-STD-810G durability standards, the 725 G2 features a lightweight magnesium-aluminum chassis, a full set of legacy business ports, and HP’s signature professional styling. It was offered with AMD PRO A-series APUs, providing a balance of CPU and integrated Radeon graphics performance tailored for productivity, multimedia, and secure business use.

Sharing its chassis design with the Intel-based EliteBook 820 G2, this model gave organizations a cost-effective alternative that maintained HP’s premium construction, manageability, and security features.

The HP EliteBook 725 G2 is a 12.5-inch business laptop with a thin, professional magnesium-aluminum body and the classic HP EliteBook logo centered on the lid. The device typically features three USB 3.0 ports, VGA and DisplayPort outputs on the sides, and an Ethernet port, making it stand out from slimmer consumer laptops. The keyboard is black with a trackpoint between the G-H-B keys and a touchpad with physical buttons above and below it. The screen houses a small HD webcam in the top center, and the model label “EliteBook 725 G2” can usually be found printed near the keyboard deck or on the underside sticker. These factors are what define the HP EliteBook 725 G2 and aid in identification.
