The total module volume is 20 cubic centimeters. Summary With the exception of the silk-screened polymeric resistors, none of the design techniques or manufacturing processes are actually new to HP's Portable Computer Division. Instead, the packaging of the HP-71B represents a refinement of the existing technologies. It is the combination of these technologies that makes the HP-71B Computer the most powerful computing device for its size. There are countless people who made the idea of the HP-71B become a reality.
