Introduction
Thank you for evaluating the HP OmniBook 800.
The Mobile Computing Division developed this Corporate Evaluator's Guide to
facilitate your appraisal of the OmniBook. The guide discusses the computer's
major features and provides instruction on specific operating systems. Rebuilding
the OmniBook if the hard drive has been formatted and loaded with your
company's disk image is discussed for each operating system, particularly

You will find information on system resources, technical specifications, solutions to
common problems, and a list of support resources. Much of this information is

Power management options include several efficient power states that incorporate
our unique, instant-on technology.
