technology capable
Intel Core i5 with vPro and Core i7 with vPro technology is a selectable feature that is available on units
configured with an Intel Centrino® Advanced-N 6200 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 6.0 (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 3rd 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 3rd party software providers. Compatibility with future "virtual
appliances" is yet to be determined.

* Memory speed is processor dependent.
NOTE: Due to the non-industry standard nature of some third-party memory modules, we recommend HP
branded memory to ensure compatibility. If you mix memory speeds, the system will perform at the lower
memory speed. Full availability of 4 GB or more of memory requires a Windows 64-bit operating system or
Linux. With Windows 32-bit operating systems, the amount of usable memory is dependent upon your
configuration, so that above 3 GB all memory may not be available due to system resource requirements.
