HP Compaq 6910p Notebook PC

HP notebooks undergo a continuous program of systematic process improvement from the earliest design stage through product testing and launch, service and support, and eventual end-of-life. The HP Notebook Quality System helps ensure quality across the product lifecycle and beyond - throughout design, development, manufacturing, service and support, and the support processes that drive continuous improvement. The result is higher-quality products, solutions, and experiences that can benefit you as a business user.

HP designs and builds our Business Notebook PCs to deliver a superior experience with quality improvements and features based on years of direct customer feedback and exhaustive development, testing, validation, and analysis.

Hard drives are one of the most common failure points in notebook PCs, mainly due to shock and vibration; continuous use or heat build-up. HP only approves suppliers whose hard drives meet our exacting standards, afterwhich we conduct exhaustive component testing across multiple variables including performance, environment, and drop/shock. Once the drive is in the notebook, we introduce firmware, hardware, and software solutions to further improve the reliability and durability of the hard drive and the notebook PC. HP 3D DriveGuard (a standard on all HP business notebooks) helps protect the information on your hard drive from damage caused by bumps, drops, and shocks.

HP has a number of professional innovations to enhance the performance and reliability of our HP Business Notebook PCs:

• HP DuraCase includes several durability features that help protect your notebook from wear and tear:
  
  • A full magnesium alloy chassis creates an incredibly strong case protecting the top and bottom of the notebook against rigorous usage.
  • Reinforced metal pins and hooks help prevent the display enclosure from additional vibrations resulting in better protection of your system against shock and side impacts.
  • Metal alloy hinges with hardened steel pin axels are designed to withstand extensive use.
  • Magnesium alloy internal support structure - durable, lightweight - helps protect sensitive components from damage.
• HP DuraKeys keep your keyboard looking newer, longer. HP DuraKeys have a clear coating applied over the notebook keyboard that helps protect the finish and the printed characters on the keys.
• Scratch resistant HP DuraFinish gives a long-lasting finish. Your notebook’s palm rest, display cover and touchpad on select models, are more protected from normal wear and tear so your notebook looks newer, longer.
• Touch-sensitive controls. Control applications with a touch of a finger. The sleek, touch-sensitive controls are also extremely durable because they’re level to the surface, moisture and particle-resistant, and have no moving parts which all help enhance your notebook’s reliability.
• HP Panel Protection System. Soft rubber pads protect the display screen from being scratched by the keyboard or keyboard deck when the notebook is closed.
• Spill-resistant keyboard to help protect sensitive electronics and key components from minor spills that might otherwise cause system failure with this thin layer of Mylar film under the keyboard and built-in drain (on select models) path release system available.

HP battery components and materials are carefully chosen and critically tested for safety and reliability. Battery packs are designed with multiple redundant safety features. Our notebooks offer advanced power management features and settings to give users industry-leading battery life (up to 15 total hours on some models, using both the internal battery and a separately purchased HP Ultra-Capacity Battery).

A display is one of the most delicate components in a notebook. At HP, rigorous testing procedures are applied to all aspects of the display assembly (hinges, clutches, latches, enclosure, and scratch-resistant surfaces). We also maintain stringent vendor quality standards for brightness and pixels are continuously reviewed, tested, and improved.

Many HP commercial notebooks leverage solid state drives and processors that can reduce heat and increase battery life. In addition, the HP Illumi-Lite display in select notebooks uses highly efficient, mercury-free LED screens, which can increase battery life by up to 90 minutes*. Ambient light sensors on certain models help reduce power consumption by dimming the panel in low ambient light conditions. And HP Smart AC Adapters have a built-in sensor that alerts the notebook when its power rating has been reached, allowing it to make power adjustments.

HP Health Check is a Web-based tool that alerts users about important software updates that can prevent problems specific to a product. It recommends several approaches for extending the life of a product:

• Perform regular system tune-ups (defrag the hard drive, remove adware, update drivers)
• Reduce system threats (install the latest virus detection and security fixes)
• Replace components and software (compare known issues against current software and hardware conditions to detect problems before they occur)

Within the HP Total Care portfolio you will find HP Support Services offers extended service contracts which go beyond your standard warranties. These services cover your needs at every stage of your computing technology's lifecycle and helps maximize the initial return on investment all while reducing loss of productivity.
