| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Chipset | Mobile Intel QM57 Express Chipset |
| Processors | Intel Quad-Core Processor:
NOTE: * Intel's numbering is not a measurement of higher performance. Processor speed denotes maximum performance mode; processor will run at lower speeds in battery optimization mode. |
| Memory | Standard: DDR3 PC3-10600 SDRAM (1333 MHz)*Two or four SODIMM slots supporting dual-channel memory2048 MB, 4096, and 8192 MB SODIMMs NOTE: Four memory slots only on models with quad-core processor. Maximum:Upgradeable to 32768 MB with (4) 8192 MB SODIMMs Dual-channel: Maximized dual-channel performance requires SODIMMs of the same size and speed in both memory slots. NOTE: * With some processors, memory bus runs at a maximum of 1066 MHz 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 4GB 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 3GB 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 an integrated 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 spacing) and 2.5 mm stroke. HP DuraKeys is a clear coating applied over the notebook keyboard that helps protect the finish and the printed characters on the keys. HP DuraFinish helps protect the finish on the keyboard deck, graphics, and icons from normal wear and tear. Optional backlit keyboard available May 2010. |

| Touch-sensitive controls | Touch-sensitive controls provide easy access to the following features: HP QuickLook 3, HP QuickWeb, wireless on/off, touchpad on/off, volume mute, volume down, volume up, and calculator button. |
| Internal Storage Device | Hard drives250/320/500GB 7200 rpm SMART SATA II NOTE: These hard drives are customer removable and will withstand multiple insertion/removal cycles. Up to 15GB is reserved for the system recovery software. HP 3D DriveGuard (Windows only) 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. Solid State Drive:
