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.

Keyboard The HP spill-resistant keyboard is designed using a thin layer of Mylar film under the keyboard and a drain
system that funnels fluid through a hole in the bottom of the notebook. This minimizes the risk of damage
to sensitive components underneath. The 101/102-key compatible keyboard features an industry
standard, full-pitch key layout with desktop keyboard features, such as the isolated inverted-T cursor
control keys, editing keys, both left and right control and alt keys, and 12 function keys. U.S. and
International key layouts are available. Includes a separate numeric keypad, hotkeys for instant access to
power conservation, brightness, and other features. It has 19.05 x 19.05 mm key pitch (center-to-center
