Exploratory disassembly of the HP EliteBook x360 830 G7 business-class notebook for the purpose of assessing repairability. Performed 5/21/2020.
The laptop feels sturdy. External case parts are metal, with generous use of rubber for points of contact (feet, display, etc.).
The laptop isn’t ingress-proofed, so gaps in the keyboard and lower case—including ports, vents, speaker grilles, etc.—may allow water damage or particle buildup.
