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. Four SODIMMS for a total of 32 GB of memory is available on quad-core systems only.
3. Sold separately or as an optional feature.
4. HD content required to view HD images.
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

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. Raid 5 requires 3 hard disk drives in primary storage, second primary storage and upgrade bay.
19. Microsoft Windows required.
20. 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
