Display
Intel Core i5 with vPro and Core i7 with vPro technology is a selectable feature that is available on
units configured with an Intel Centrino® Ultimate-N/Advanced-N 6000 series WLAN module and a
preinstalled Windows operating system. It provides advances in remote manageability, security,
energy efficient performance, and wireless connectivity. Intel Active Management Technology
(AMT) offers built-in manageability and proactive security for networked notebook PCs, even when
they are powered off* or when the operating system is inoperable. It can help identify threats
before they reach the network, isolate infected systems, and update PCs regardless of their power
state.
*Requires a Windows operating system, network hardware and software, connection with a power
source, and a direct (non-VPN) corporate network connection which is either cable or wireless
LAN.
NOTE:
Some functionality of Intel Core i5 with vPro/Core i7 with vPro technology, such as Intel
Active Management technology and Intel Virtualization technology, requires additional 3rd party
software in order to run. Availability of future "virtual appliances" applications for Intel Core i5 with
vPro/Core i7 with vPro technology is dependent on 3rd party software providers. Compatibility with
future "virtual appliances" is yet to be determined.

Dual-channel
* With some processors, memory bus runs at a maximum of 1066 MHz.
NOTE:
Due to the non-industry standard nature of some third-party memory modules, we
recommend HP branded memory to ensure compatibility. If you mix memory speeds, the system
will perform at the lower memory speed. Full availability of 4 GB or more of memory requires a
Windows 64-bit operating system or Linux. With Windows 32-bit operating systems, the amount of
usable memory is dependent upon your configuration, so that above 3 GB all memory may not be
available due to system resource requirements.

Wireless Devices
Support for a broad range of secure, integrated wireless LAN and wireless WAN options featuring
support for the latest industry standards. Wireless LAN is factory configurable or available as an
option to be added later. Mobile Broadband (WWAN) requires a Windows operating system and is
available in select countries as a standard, factory configurable feature or as an option to be
added later. Integrated Bluetooth is also available (factory configurable only) and can be
combined with any of the supported wireless LAN and wireless WAN options.

The HP spill-resistant keyboard is designed using a thin layer of Mylar film under the keyboard
and a drain system that funnels fluid through a hole in the bottom of the notebook. This minimizes
the risk of damage to sensitive components underneath. The 101/102-key compatible keyboard
features an industry standard, full-pitch key layout with desktop keyboard features, such as the
isolated inverted-T cursor control keys, editing keys, both left and right control and alt keys, and
12 function keys. U.S. and International key layouts are available. Includes a full numeric keypad,
hotkeys for instant access to power conservation, brightness, and other features. It has 19.05 x
19.05 mm key pitch (center-to-center spacing) and 2.5 mm stroke.
HP DuraKeys is a clear coating applied over the notebook keyboard that helps protect the finish
and the printed characters on the keys. HP DuraFinish helps protect the finish on the keyboard
deck, graphics, and icons from normal wear and tear.
Touch-sensitive controls provide easy access to the following features: HP QuickLook 3, HP
QuickWeb, wireless on/off, touchpad on/off, volume mute, volume down, volume up, and
