note:

*Multi-Core is 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.

Chipset

Non-applicable, processor specific

Intel Core I5 with VPro/Core I7 with VPro technology

Intel Core i5 with vPro and Core i7 with vPro technology is a selectable feature that is available on units configured with select processors, a qualified Intel Centrino 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 9.0 (iAMT) offers built-in manageability and proactive security for networked mobile workstations, 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 mobile workstations regardless of their power state.

note:

*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.

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 third- 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 third- party software providers. Compatibility with future “virtual appliances” is yet to be determined.

Graphics

DisplayPort w/MST (Multi-stream Transport)

Supports resolutions up to QFHD 3840 x 2160, 24/30-bit color depth at 60 Hz, and WUXGA (1920 x 1200) monitors, with 24/30-bit color depth up to 120 Hz.

DisplayPort Feature

• Multi-stream Transport (MST): Multi-stream Transport is a DP 1.2 feature that allows daisy chaining of DP 1.2 monitors (requires monitor with DP 1.2 MST capability), or the use of DP 1.2 hubs with MST to achieve a maximum of 3 active displays.

Port supports resolutions up to 2048 x 1536 at 75 Hz, and lower resolutions at up to 100 Hz.

DVI-D (single link)

DVI support requires a DP-to-DVI adapter (sold separately). Dual-Link DVI is supported with an active USB powered adapter (sold separately).

note:

Resolutions are dependent upon monitor capability, and resolution and color depth settings.

Storage and drives

• 1 TB 7200rpm SMART SATA III
• 500 GB 7200 rpm SMART SATA III
• 500 GB 7200 rpm SMART SATA III Self Encrypting Drive
• 500 GB 5400 rpm SMART SATA III I Self Encrypting Drive FIPS 140-2 compliant

• 128/180/240/256/512 GB SATA 6 Gb/sec
• 180/256 GB SATA 6 Gb/sec Self Encrypting Drive

• The hard drive is mounted directly to the notebook frame, reducing the transmission of shock to the hard drive. Uses three-axis digital motion detection with intelligent sensitivity to help protect the hard drive during normal use from shock and vibration. The digital accelerometer temporarily halts all data transfer and parks the hard drive when abrupt motion is detected.

• 256 GB PCIe Solid State Drive

note:

If 256 GB Z Turbo Drive (PCIe SSD) is selected, it will be set as the primary storage drive, and any of the HDD and SSD can be configured as secondary storage.

For hard drives, GB = 1 billion bytes. TB = 1 trillion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less. Up to 16 GB (for Windows 7) of system and up to 30 GB (for Windows 8) disk is reserved for system recovery software.

Memory

DDR3L 1.35V SDRAM (1600 MHz) Two SODIMM slots supporting dual-channel memory 4 GB and 8 GB SODIMMs

Upgradeable to 16384 MB with optional 8192 MB SODIMMs in both slots

Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same size and speed in both memory slots.

note:

*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.

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.

Networking/Communications

Keyboard/Pointing devices/Buttons and function keys

Optional backlit keyboard with Function key control to toggle backlit brightness setting – off/full/half brightness 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 a full-pitch key layout with desktop keyboard features, such as editing keys, both left and right control and alt keys, function keys, and 19.05 x 19.05 mm key pitch (center-to-center spacing). U.S. and International key layouts are available. Other features include hot keys for instant access to power conservation and brightness.
