Your true desktop alternative:
Hewlett-Packard’s OmniBook 5700 notebook PC
Like most corporate notebook
computer buyers today, you don’t
want to sacrifice performance for
the sake of convenience. When
you’re on the go, you want the
notebook PC you take with you to
provide performance as powerful
as that of your desktop PC.
At Hewlett-Packard, we under-
stand your needs—and we’ve built
our highest-performing notebook
PC ever to meet them. Once you
experience the HP OmniBook
5700 notebook PC’s leading
processor and graphics perfor-
mance, display quality, multimedia
capability, expandability, connec-
tivity, and convenience, you
may wonder why you need a
desktop PC.
Desktop-caliber perfor-
mance and expandability
The HP OmniBook 5700 notebook
PC offers the industry’s most
advanced mobile processors:
the Intel Pentium®166-MHz and
150-MHz processors with MMX™
technology. For added perfor-
mance, the HP OmniBook 5700
comes with a 512-Kbyte Level 2
pipeline-burst synchronous cache.
And to easily support graphics-
and data-intensive applications, it
expands to 128 Mbytes—plus it
offers a hard disk capacity up to
3 Gbytes. Its PCI bus gives you
all the benefits of desktop PCI,
including the simultaneous
operation of devices such as

presentations come to life, we’ve

capabilities—including a standard,
64-bit graphics accelerator with

allows a PC card to write data
directly to graphics memory—
giving you lifelike, real-time
video for training, presentations,
or entertainment applications.
You—and your audience—will
experience crisp, clear presen-
tations on your choice of vibrant,
color TFT displays, including a
dazzling, new 12.1-inch XGA
display.

a floppy disk drive. It’s certified
to support Windows NT™. For
effective power management, the
HP OmniBook 5700 offers both
our unique, instant-on technology
and a convenient side button to
turn the PC off.
Fast networking,
easy manageability
Back in your office, you’ll get
right down to business with an
