average working day doesn't necessarily end when we leave the
office," said Jerel Chong, Market Development Manager, Notebook PCs, HP

like the HP Mini-Note, we are arming mobile professionals with the ability to
make the most of their time at work, whether that be on the road, in meetings,
or at home."

tamper-proof case, with no visible screws for enhanced durability, while HP's 3D DriveGuard is included to ensure hard drive
