2 Thunderbolt is new technology. Install all the latest drivers for your Thunderbolt device before connecting to the Thunderbolt port. Thunderbolt
cable and Thunderbolt device (sold separately) must be compatible with Windows. To determine whether your device is Thunderbolt Certified
for Windows, see thunderbolttechnology.net/products.
3 Sold as an optional or add on feature.
4 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. Intels numbering is not
a measurement of higher performance.
5 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.
6 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.
7 HP Performance Advisor requires Windows and an internet connection.
