I called my friend Mr Google, asked him to look for 447891-B21
it then provided me a list of stores that sold that unit, chose one that
had "technical specs" buttons that would display the above text.

It does say a lot about HP's website though when you cannot get specs
for their previous products but you can get them easily on some store's
website.
