CORE I5 WITH VPRO/CORE I7 WITH VPRO TECHNOLOGY CAPABLE
Intel® Core i5 with vPro and Core i7 with vPro technology is a selectable feature that is available on units configured
with select processors, an Intel Centrino® Advanced-N or Ultimate-N 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 7.0 (iAMT) 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 third- 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 third-
party software providers. Compatibility with future "virtual appliances" is yet to be determined.

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.
