performance notebook PC(1) as well as a slim, stylish consumer notebook that
delivers an optimal balance of mobility, performance and affordability.
The thin and light notebook market represents a significant growth opportunity

the multimedia needs of demanding consumers.
“Striking designs, impressive product features, outstanding value and a focus on
computing performance add up to a mobile experience second to none,” said
Ted Clark, senior vice president and general manager, Notebook Global
Business Unit, Personal Systems Group, HP. “These new notebooks further
validate our position as an undisputed leader in notebook design and raise the
bar for the entire thin and light category.”
HP ProBook 5310m – thin, powerful, and affordable
With the HP ProBook 5310m, mobile professionals no longer need to sacrifice
performance to achieve great battery life. HP offers the Intel® Core™ 2 Duo
SP9300(6) processor that provides all the power a user would expect with a full-
performance PC, while still delivering up to seven hours of battery life(5) with the
standard lithium-polymer battery. An optional six-cell battery, expected to be
available later this year, will further increase battery run time.
The HP ProBook 5310m is also flexible enough to scale down to meet the needs
of customers who don’t require a full-performance standard voltage notebook.
When equipped with an Intel Celeron® dual-core, ultra-low-voltage processor,
the HP ProBook 5310m is an affordable step up from companion or netbook
devices. It is ideal for computing tasks such as email, calendar and office
applications, and it provides the ability to view HD content, consume and
create content, and access the Internet.
HP QuickWeb allows users to access the web in seconds when the notebook is
shut down. The application resides outside the notebook’s operating system, so
there is no need to wait for the computer to boot up, users can simply push the
dedicated button. In less than 20 seconds, users have a secure connection to
the Internet and can access websites and content normally obtained through
a standard browser.(7) Additionally, HP QuickLook3 allows users to look up and
respond to email, calendar and contacts without having to boot the
notebook.(7)
Integrated HP Mobile Broadband powered by Gobi(8) allows users to
conveniently access the Internet, company intranet, email, and mission-critical
information in more places than ever before. The new HP Connection Manager
3.0 simplifies and automates connecting users with their preferred network.
HP also is committed to the environment and to eliminating all uses of
brominated flame retardants (BFRs) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in its products
by 2011.(9) The HP ProBook 5310m Notebook PC offers a BFR/PVC-free
configuration.(10)
HP Pavilion dm3 – top performance with maximum flexibility
Designed to provide maximum flexibility to mobile users, the HP Pavilion dm3
comes with a choice of processors, including the latest Intel Core 2 Duo or AMD
Neo Dual Core processors.(11) It also offers consumers a choice of Intel shared,
ATI or NVIDIA discrete graphics.
When configured with the AMD Neo and ATI combination, the HP Pavilion dm3
offers PowerXpress, which provides performance graphics when plugged in
and switches to shared graphics when unplugged for superb battery life.
Preloaded with HP MediaSmart software, the dm3 makes managing and
enjoying digital music, Internet TV, videos, photos and other content fast and
easy. New dedicated function keys allow for quick access to media controls,
while high-speed hard drive options up to 500 gigabytes (GB) provide ample
room for media and documents.(12)
At less than one-inch thin and weighing only 4.2 pounds, the Pavilion dm3
features a lightweight, brushed aluminum chassis in sophisticated Modern
Argento gray that makes it easy for consumers to carry virtually anywhere.
In addition, the HP Pavilion dm3 supports optional built-in WWAN for wireless
connectivity(8) anywhere a cell phone works and includes a low-light VGA HP
Webcam and microphone for staying in touch with friends and family.
Lightweight external optical disc drives, including a Blu-ray(13) option, are
available.
HP also announced the new HP Envy sub-brand, including a premium thin and
light notebook, the HP Envy 13. Additional information on HP Envy is available at
www.hp.com/go/envy.
Plug-and-compute tools
To meet the needs of increasingly mobile customers, HP has introduced the HP
CalcPad 100 and CalcPad. These “plug and compute” accessories are
designed to add desktop features to notebook PCs, offering performance and
convenience for on-the-go business professionals and college students.
HP CalcPads serve as an extended keyboard number pad or calculator,
featuring quick-launch keys for one-touch access to Microsoft® Word or Excel
or HP Calculator software, which enables mobile professionals to directly input
their calculations seamlessly from CalcPad to notebook. Two built-in USB 2.0
ports allow users to leverage the CalcPad as a USB hub for added peripherals
without the additional hardware or cables. The HP CalcPad 100 also can use
the USB connectivity to the notebook as a power source.
Pricing and availability(14)
The HP ProBook 5310m starts at $699 with an Intel Celeron dual core and $899
with Intel Core 2 Duo and is available immediately in the Asia-Pacific region
with the Microsoft Vista® operating system. The notebook is expected to be

(3) Weight will vary by configuration.
(4) HD content required to view HD images.
(5) Battery life will vary depending on the product model, configuration, loaded applications,
features and power management settings. The maximum capacity of the battery will decrease
with time and usage. Sold separately or as an add-on feature.
(6)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 hardware and software configurations. More
information is available at www.intel.com/info/em64t. Dual Core is designed to improve
performance of certain software products. Not all customers or software applications will
necessarily benefit from use of this technology. Intel’s numbering is not a measurement of higher
performance.
(7) Accessible when the notebook is off in Windows XP, Windows Vista or Windows 7 based
systems. Timing may vary depending on the system configuration. Internet access required.
QuickWeb and QuickLook 3 on HP ProBook s-series requires configuration with Intel and DDR3 or
AMD and DDR.
(8) Wireless access points and Internet service required and not included. Availability of public
wireless access points limited.
(9) As technologically feasible alternatives become readily available that will not compromise
product performance or quality and will not adversely impact health or the environment, HP
plans to complete the phase out of BFR and PVC in newly introduced personal computing
products in 2011.
(10) Meeting the evolving definition of “BFR/PVC-free” as set forth in the “iNEMI Position Statement
on the ‘Definition of Low-Halogen’ Electronics (BFR/CFR/PVC-Free).” Plastic parts contain < 1000
ppm (0.1 percent) of bromine (if the Br source is from BFRs] and < 1000 ppm [0.1 percent] of
chlorine if the Cl source is from CFRs or PVC or PVC copolymers). Power supply and power cords
are not BFR/PVC-free. Service parts after purchase may not be BFR/PVC-free. Configuration is not
planned to be available until 9/27/09.
(11) This system requires a separately purchased 64-bit operating system and 64-bit software
products to take advantage of the 64-bit processing capabilities of AMD technology.
Dual/quad/triple-core processing available with AMD technology is designed to improve
performance of this system. Given the wide range of software applications available,
performance of a system including a 64-bit operating system and a dual-core processor will vary.
(12) For hard drives, 1 GB = 1 billion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less.
(13) As Blu-ray is a new format containing new technologies, certain disc, digital connection,
compatibility and/or performance issues may arise, and do not constitute defects in the product.
Flawless playback on all systems is not guaranteed. For Blu-ray titles to play they may require a
DVI or HDMI digital connection and the display may require HDCP support.
