The Presario 1700 series with FutureBay introduces notebook users to a new 
level of customization and flexibility.  The Presario 1700 notebook has 
been designed with the aim to offer users the ability to customize the 
their notebook to meet their individual needs.

The advanced modular design of the Presario 1700 offers simple device 
customization through an easy-to-use FutureBay, providing notebook users 
with a variety of configuration alternatives. With a simple push of a 
button the Presario 1700 FutureBay lets users quickly and easily add a DVD-
ROM CD-Rom drive, a CD-RW, SuperDisk or a 3.5 inch diskette drive, 
depending on their unique and diverse needs. 

In addition, by using the weight saver option, FutureBay allows users to 
reduce the notebook travel weight.  FutureBay's hot swapping technology 
allows the user to change devices without powering down the system. This 
improved "ease-of-use" feature will save users the time and inconvenience 
of shutting down their notebooks to complete the often-performed task of 
swapping devices.

Until today, this technology has usually been limited to high-end 
commercial notebooks.  The Presario 1700 FutureBay offers the same 
functionality at mainstream price points making it more affordable. 
FutureBay offers mobile PC users flexibility, configurability and 
investment protection.

FLEXIBILITY 
The FutureBay weight saver option allows users to reduce the notebook 
travel weight.

CONFIGURABILITY 
FutureBay allows users with a simple push of a button to configure the 
notebook with a DVD, CD-RW or3.5" floppy drive on the fly without powering 
down the system.

INVESTMENT PROTECTION 
FutureBay has been designed to support technology that is currently not 
available on notebooks. FutureBay not only allows users to configure the 
notebook as their needs change during the day but even over the life of the 
product.
