1. Multi-Core is designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benet from use of this technology. 64-bit computing on Intel®
architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers, and applications enabled for Intel®64 architecture. Processors will not operate (including
32-bit operation) without an Intel® 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software congurations. Intel’s numbering is not a measurement of higher
performance.
2. Sold separately or as an optional feature.
3. Four SODIMMS for a total of 32 GB of memory is available only on quad-core systems. Maximum memory capacities assume Windows 64-bit operating systems or Linux. With Windows 32-bit
operating systems, memory above 3 GB may not all be available due to system resource requirements.
4. Support for 5 monitors requires separately purchased HP Advance Docking Station.
5. HP oers discrete graphics congurations supporting up to ve total displays through the advanced docking station. The advanced docking station is sold separately. AMD graphics supports ve total
displays, including the native notebook display. NVIDIA graphics supports up to four total displays, including the native notebook display.
6. Requires a compatible Intel®Core processor, enabled chipset, Intel® Rapid Storage technology software and non-SED HDD + optional mSATA SSD ash cache module. Intel®Smart Response
Technology is only available on select 2012 HP systems. Depending on system conguration, results may vary.
7. Video conferencing is available on congurations with the optional 720p HD webcam.
8. Internet access required.
9. Wireless access point and Internet service required. Availability of public wireless access points limited.
10. Wireless use requires separately purchased service contract. Check with your local vendor for coverage area and availability in your area. Connection and speeds will vary due to location,
environment, network conditions, and other factors. 4G compatibility with HSPA+ and LTE. 4G LTE is only available in the United States. LTE is expected to be available in June 2012.
11. Testing was not intended to demonstrate tness for DOD contracts requirements or for military use. Test results are not a guarantee of future performance under these test conditions.
12. This system may require upgraded and/or separately purchased hardware to take full advantage of Windows 7 functionality. Not all features are available in all editions of Windows 7.
See microsoft.com/windows/windows-7 for details.
13. 64-bit computing on Intel architecture requires a computer system with a processor, chipset, BIOS, operating system, device drivers and applications enabled for Intel® 64 architecture. Processors
will not operate (including 32-bit operation) without an Intel 64 architecture-enabled BIOS. Performance will vary depending on your hardware and software congurations. See intel.com/info/em64t
for more information. Quad Core is designed to improve performance of multithreaded software products and hardware-aware multitasking operating systems and may require appropriate operating
system software for full benet. Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benet from use of this technology. Intel’s numbering is not a measurement of higher performance.
14. Intel®Turbo Boost 2.0 technology requires a PC with a processor with Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 capability. Intel Turbo Boost 2.0 performance varies depending on hardware, software and overall system
conguration. See intel.com/technology/turboboost for more information.
15. Some functionality of this 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 vPro technology is dependent on 3rd party software providers. Microsoft Windows required.
16. Maximum memory capacities assume Windows 64-bit operating systems or Linux. With Windows 32-bit operating systems, memory above 3 GB may not all be available due to system
resource requirements.
17. For hard drives, GB = 1 billion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 15 GB (for Windows 7) of system disk is reserved for the system recovery software.
18. Blu-ray contains new technologies, certain disc, digital connection, compatibility and/or performance issues may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product. Flawless playback on all systems
is not guaranteed. In order for some Blu-ray titles to play, they may require an HDMI digital connection and your display may require HDCP support. HD DVD disks cannot be played on this drive. Note
that DVD-ROM cannot read or write to 2.6 GB Single Sided/5.2 GB Double Sided – Version 1.0 media. Actual speeds may vary. Don’t copy copyright-protected materials. Double Layer discs can store
more data than single layer discs; discs burned with this drive may not be compatible with many existing single-layer DVD drives and players.
19. HD content required to view HD images.
20. Power calculations and cost calculations are estimates. Results will vary based on variables, which include information provided by the user, time PC is in dierent power states (on, standby, hibernate,
o), time PC is on battery or AC, hardware conguration, variable electricity rates and utilities provider. HP advises customers to use information reported by HP Power Assistant for reference only
and to validate impact in their environment. Environmental calculations were based on U.S. EPA eGrid 2007 data found at epa.gov/egrid/. Regional results will vary. Microsoft Windows required.
Requires discrete graphics conguration.
21. Includes reduced functionality versions of Word and Excel. Purchase of Product Key required to activate full Oce 2010 suite available at participating resellers/retailers and oce.com.

26. In order to deploy policies the client needs to be connected to the network. Requires connectivity to the DigitalPersona server to receive updated policies. System access may not prevent users from
logging into the system on the rst attempt if policy updates haven’t yet been received and applied. This functionality blocks network access from the user’s PC.
27. The Computrace agent is shipped turned o, and must be activated by customers when they purchase a subscription. Subscriptions can be purchased for terms ranging multiple years. Service is
limited, check with Absolute for availability outside the U.S.
28. Battery life will vary depending on the product model, conguration, loaded applications, features, use, wireless functionality and power management settings. The maximum capacity of the battery
will naturally decrease with time and usage. See MobileMark07 battery benchmark bapco.com/products/mobilemark2007 for additional details.
29. Fast Charge Technology recharges your battery up to 90% within 90 minutes when the system is o. Fast Charge Technology does not apply to the HP Ultra-Capacity or 9-cell batteries. When the PC is
