technology capable
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® Advanced-N 6200 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.

Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same size
and speed in both memory channels.
* 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.

Keyboard
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. Other features include an integrated numeric keypad, hotkeys for
instant access to power conservation, brightness, and other features, 19 mm x 19 mm key pitch (center-
to-center spacing), 2.0 mm stroke, and comfort-dished keycaps.
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.
HP Night Light shines directly on keyboard for low-light conditions.

* Memory bus runs at a maximum of 1066 MHz.
NOTE: This chart does not represent all possible memory configurations. Due to the non-industry
standard nature of some third-party memory modules, we strongly recommend using only HP
branded memory modules to ensure compatibility. If you mix memory speeds, the system will
perform at the lower memory speed. Availability of 4 GB or more of memory requires Windows Vista
Business 64-bit or Linux. With Windows 32-bit operating systems, memory above 3 GB may not all
be available due to system resource requirements.
