The addition of Gobi technology allows customers to access wireless networks capabilities beyond a Wi-Fi network to stay connected on various network technologies1.

"HP continually strives to meet the demands of the mobile professional, and we see Qualcomm's Gobi technology as a growing trend for the future of notebook computing," said Carol Hess-Nickels, Director of Business Notebook Marketing, Personal Systems Group, HP.

"Incorporating the Gobi solution into our award-winning notebooks provides HP customers the confidence that their notebook will work on a variety of networks around the world and help keep them connected on the go."
