1HD content required to view HD images.
2Microsoft Windows required.
3Sold separately or as an optional feature.
4Wireless use requires separately purchased service contract. Check with local service provider for coverage area and availability in your area. Limited to mobile network
operator coverage areas. Separately purchased mobile network operator service is required.
5Battery life will vary depending on the product model, configuration, 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 www.bapco.com/products/mobilemark2007 for additional details.
6Power calculations and cost calculations are estimates. Results will vary based on variables, which include information provided by the user, time PC is in different power states
(on, standby, hibernate, off), time PC is on battery or AC, hardware configuration, 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
www.epa.gov/egrid/. Regional results will vary. Microsoft Windows required.
7HDMI cable sold separately.
8Internet service required.
9Dual/Quad Core is a new technology designed to improve performance of certain software products. Not all customers or software applications will necessarily benefit 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 configurations. Intel's numbering is not a measurement of higher performance.
10 HP QuickWeb is accessible when the notebook is off in Windows Vista, or Windows 7-based systems. Internet access is required. Timing may vary depending on the system
configuration. To enable the feature following the removal of the battery, reboot the notebook prior to subsequent use.
11 Systems 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 www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/ for details.
12 Certain Windows Vista product features require advanced or additional hardware. See www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/hardwarereqs.mspx and
www.microsoft.com/windowsvista/getready/capable.mspx for details. Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor can help you determine which features of Windows Vista will run on
your computer. To download the tool, visit www.windowsvista.com/upgradeadvisor.
13 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 configuration. See www.intel.com/technology/turboboost for more information.
14 Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same size and speed in both memory slots.
15 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.
16 For hard drives, GB = 1 billion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 15 GB of memory is reserved for system recovery software.
17 As HD DVD and Blu-ray are new formats containing new technologies, certain discs, digital connections, 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 HD-DVD titles to play, they may require a DVI or HDMI digital connection
and your display may require HDCP support. This HD-DVD drive does not support writing to ultra-high speed CDRW media (16X to 32X advertised performance).
18 Double-layer discs can store more data than single layer discs. However, double-layer discs burned with this drive may not be compatible with many existing single-layer DVD
drives and players. LightScribe media required and sold separately. LightScribe creates a monochrome image. Note that DVD-RAM cannot read or write to 2.6-GB single-
sided/5.2-GB double-sided—version 1.0 media. Don’t copy copyright-protected materials.
19 Shared video memory (UMA) uses part of the total system memory for video performance. System memory dedicated to video performance is not available for other use by other
programs.
20 Gobi technology requires separately purchased wireless data service contracts. Check with local service provider for coverage and availability in your area. Broadband
connection requires wireless data service contract, network support, and is not available in all areas. Contact service provider to determine the coverage area and availability.
Connection speeds will vary due to location, environment, network conditions, and other factors.
21 Wireless access point and Internet service required and sold separately. Availability of public wireless access points limited.
22 The term "10/100/1000" or "Gigabit" Ethernet indicates compliance with IEEE standard 802.3ab for Gigabit Ethernet, and does not connote actual operating speed of 1
Gb/sec. For high speed transmission, connection to a Gigabit Ethernet server and network infrastructure is required.
23 Includes reduced functionality versions of Word and Excel. Purchase of Product Key required to activate full Office 2010 suite available at participating resellers/retailers and
www.office.com.
24 Requires Microsoft Outlook. User must opt-in to activate feature.
25 Internet access required. This product may include Norton or McAfee software. First 60 days included. Subscription required for live updates afterward.

powered on, charge time may increase and will vary based on the workload of the notebook PC.
