Keyboard
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. US and International key layouts are available. Other features
include an integrated numeric keypad, hotkeys for instant access to power conservation, brightness, and
other features, 19-mm x 19-mm key pitch (center-to-center spacing), 2.5-mm stroke, and comfort-dished
keycaps.
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.

The hard drive is mounted directly to the notebook frame, reducing the
transmission of shock away from 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.
