The HP Pavilion dv9000 was a model series of laptops manufactured by Hewlett-Packard Company that featured 16:10 17.0" diagonal displays.
Overview First introduced in July 2006, the HP Pavilion dv9000 series was a series of high-definition capable widescreen laptops using the HP Imprint finish. It features a 17.0" 16:10 liquid crystal display (LCD) in a clamshell-type case, measuring 15.16 x 11.65 x 1.57 inches and weighing at about to . Specific internal components can be custom-chosen by the customer as build-to-order configurations or pre-selected by the manufacturer for the retail market.
The dv9000 series (as well as other 17"+ laptops from other manufacturers) are also notable for having dual SATA 2.5" hard disk drive expansion bays, which can be used in a RAID configuration, if supported. By default, however, most models of this series of laptops only came with one hard drive installed, and the user must purchase an additional hard drive kit if they want to add a secondary hard drive to the system. However, there are some laptops that contained two hard drives built-in, which are typically those preconfigured by the user. The laptops also does not support RAID configurations at all due to them being typically preinstalled with "Home" versions of Windows, which cannot support creation of striped or spanned volumes (also known as "dynamic disks") in the Disk Management tool. However, some laptops also came with professional or business-oriented versions of Windows, which can support software RAID configurations via the creation of striped or spanned volumes (or "dynamic disks").
Unique to this model series (as well as many other laptops in the HP Pavilion laptop line at the time) was HP QuickPlay, which allows the user to view multimedia content without booting into the operating system. On models preinstalled with Windows Vista, the QuickPlay boot option was removed due to compatibility issues, but the main features are still available as a separate application from within Windows.
The closest competitor to the dv9000 series was the Dell XPS M1530, which was a 15.4" laptop released around the same time as the dv9700 series in November 2007 and had similar features.
The dv9000 series was succeeded by the larger 17.3" dv7 series in July 2008. Sales of the dv9000 series stopped in mid-to-late September 2008 alongside the related dv2000 and dv6000 series as they were being replaced with the dv4, dv5 and dv7 series, with the remaining stock of laptops being cleared out afterwards.
Models Pavilion dv9000 The Pavilion dv9000 is the first model of the Pavilion dv9000 series of laptops, introduced in 2006. Two models released within the dv9000 model series were the dv9000t and dv9000z, differing with their options of processors and graphics hardware as well as their feature sets. The dv9000t series featured Intel processors with Intel chipsets while the dv9000z series featured AMD processors and Nvidia nForce chipsets. All models from this series came preinstalled with either Windows XP or Windows Vista depending on the time of manufacture.
Model numbers for the dv9000 series range from dv9000 to dv9499.
Pavilion dv9000t Model introduced in September 2006. Uses Intel CPUs and an Intel Calistoga 945PM motherboard.
