HP Pavilion is a discontinued line of consumer-oriented personal computers originally produced by Hewlett-Packard and later by its successor, HP Inc. Introduced in 1995, HP has used the name for both desktops and laptops for home and home office use.

From 2002 to 2013, Compaq-branded machines under the Presario name were also produced alongside the Pavilion. The line was discontinued in 2024 in favor of the AI-powered "Omni" brand (OmniBook, OmniStudio, OmniDesk).[1]

History

[edit]

In August 1995, HP released the first computer in the Pavilion line known as the HP Pavilion 5030, an IBM PC–compatible desktop computer. Although it was not the first multimedia PC the company made, it was the first computer made by HP that was designed specifically for the home market.[2][3] The first multimedia PCs made by the company prior to the Pavilion 5030 were the HP Multimedia PC 6100, 6140S, and 6170S. Prior to the introduction of the Pavilion line in 1995, the company was known for their business-oriented models such as those from the HP Vectra series as well as the OmniBook line of business notebooks. As an entry-level model, the Pavilion 5030 featured a 75 MHz Intel Pentium processor, 8 MB RAM, an 850 MB hard drive, a quad-speed CD-ROM drive, Altec Lansing speakers, and includes some software for online service access. It came shipped with Windows 95 preinstalled,[3] coinciding with the launch of Microsoft's then-new operating system at the time.[4]

Also in 1995, Dave Packard published The HP Way, a book that chronicled the rise of Hewlett-Packard and gave consumers insight into its business practices, culture, and management style. HP also produced a low-cost, high-speed infrared transceiver that allowed wireless data exchange in a range of portable computing applications; these included telephones, computers, printers, cash registers, automatic teller machines, and digital cameras.[5]

HP Pavilion 8750 (2000/2001)

After acquiring Compaq in 2002, HP took over Compaq's existing naming rights agreement and sold both HP- and Compaq-branded machines until 2013.

In May 2024, HP announced that the Pavilion name, along with multiple others like Envy and Spectre, will be retired as part of a streamlining of brands that year, with new consumer computers (except for Omen) being released under the "Omni" branding, with OmniBook, OmniStudio and OmniDesk brandings.[1] This new "Omni" brand consisted of computers with AI technology.[6] This rebranding also marked the return of the OmniBook brand back to HP after originally being discontinued in 2002 as part of the merger with Compaq that same year.[1]

Desktops

Notebook artwork competition

[edit]

In late 2007, HP held a contest in conjunction with MTV to help design a unique case artwork for a special edition HP notebook PC. The contest ran from September 5, 2007, to October 17, 2007, with over 8,500 designs from 112 countries submitted. The winner of the competition was João Oliveira of Porto, Portugal, who created a case design called "Asian Odyssey". This winning design was then implemented on the HP dv2800tae "Artist Edition" series notebook.[9][10] In another competition, "Engine Room", a design by Hisako Sakihama of Japan, was chosen to appear on an HP notebook.[11]

Specialized features

[edit]

Several models of the dv series of Pavilion laptops featured HP's Linux-based software called QuickPlay, which can be booted upon startup to play music or DVDs. The application loads up pretty quickly (at about ~12 seconds). QuickPlay also incorporated multimedia features, such as pause playback within Windows via the included remote control, Later models that were preinstalled with Windows Vista no longer had the option of booting into QuickPlay upon startup due to some unresolved compatibility issues, but still retained the multimedia features as a separate application that can be accessed from within Windows.[12] QuickPlay has since been discontinued, being replaced with HP MediaSmart Software that was installed on all HP desktops and notebooks from 2009 onward.

Overheating issues

[edit]

Many laptop and notebook owners experienced hardware failure in various Pavilion models during the late 2000s due to overheating. Symptoms of an overheating system include missing Wi-Fi, to the failure of the graphics card chipsets and booting problems. HP acknowledges this as a "hardware issue with certain HP Pavilion dv2000/dv6000/dv9000" notebooks, which is eligible for free repair.[13] Other users have recommended a resoldering of the Nvidia GPUs on the motherboard due to the overheating causing the solder of the built-in GPU to liquify. In 2009, HP had to recall over 70,000 batteries that were defective as a result of overheating.[14]
