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.
After acquiring Compaq in 2002, HP sold both HP- and Compaq-branded machines under the Pavilion and Presario names respectively from 2002 to 2013.
The Pavilion brand was discontinued in favor of the AI-powered Omni brand (OmniBook, OmniStudio, OmniDesk) due to a corporate streamlining of products that happened in 2024. All products of the Pavilion brand were sold until mid 2026.
History
On August 14, 1995, HP introduced the HP Pavilion brand of IBM PC–compatible computers as a new line of computers designed exclusively for home computing market with the release of the HP Pavilion PC series. The first computer released for the brand was the HP Pavilion 5030 multimedia desktop computer. While not the first multimedia PC the company made, it was the first computer made by HP that was designed specifically for the home market. Prior to this, the first multimedia PCs made by the company were the HP Multimedia PC 6100, 6140S, and 6170S. 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, coinciding with the then-upcoming launch of Microsoft's then-new operating system at the time.
Prior to the introduction of the Pavilion line in 1995, HP was known for their business-oriented models such as those from the HP Vectra series as well as the OmniBook (1993–2002) line of business notebooks. 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. Around the same year the Pavilion was introduced, Dave Packard published The HP Way: How Bill Hewlett and I Built Our Company, a book based on the company's The HP Way philosophy that chronicles the rise of Hewlett-Packard in the 1940s through the 1990s and gave consumers insight into its business practices, culture, and management style.
The first laptops and notebooks under the Pavilion brand were announced on October 4, 1999, becoming the first laptop and notebook computers made by HP that was sold in the retail (home) market outside of the business market. The initial models were the HP Pavilion N3100 series (including the HP Pavilion N3110, N3150 and N3190), which featured a 433–466 MHz Intel Celeron processor, 32–64 MB RAM, a 4.8–6.4 MB hard drive, a 4x–24x CD-ROM drive, a 12.1–14.1 inch LCD screen, built-in speakers, a PC Card slot, some software for online service access, and came shipped with Windows 98 Second Edition preinstalled.
In May 2002, HP acquired Compaq, a former information technology company known for their various computing products such as the Presario line of computers and the ProLiant series of servers, among others. After acquiring the company, HP then took over Compaq's existing naming rights agreement and so sold both HP- and Compaq-branded machines until 2013.
In May 2024, HP announced its plans on restructuring their consumer-oriented brands for their computers, with the Pavilion, Envy and Spectre brands (except for Omen) being succeeded by the OmniBook, OmniStudio and OmniDesk brands as part of the new Omni brand. This change also marked the return of HP's formerly defunct OmniBook brand after its initial discontinuation in 2002 following the acquisition of Compaq that year. The Omni brand would consist of computers utilizing next-generation AI technologies.
Following the announcement, the Pavilion lineup was gradually retired, with new desktop models being sold until as late as November 2025 when they were replaced by the HP OmniDesk series, while new laptop models were sold until as late as August 2026 when they were replaced by the HP OmniBook 5 and 7 series, ending production of all new computers in the Pavilion lineup after 31 years.
Desktops
HP has produced desktops under the Pavilion name since 1995, which were sold up until November 2025, when they were succeeded by the OmniDesk series.
In 2012, about 30 customizable desktops were offered by HP; of these, 5 are standard HP Pavilion, 4 are Slimline, 6 are High Performance Edition (HPE), 5 are "Phoenix" HPE Gaming editions*, 5 are Touchsmart, and 5 are All-In-One.
In 2020, the HP Pavilion Gaming brand succeeded the previous "Phoenix" HPE Gaming edition brand, and is a line of budget gaming computers offered in both desktop and laptop form factors.

Overheating problems The HP Pavilion Slimline desktops are housed in small form factor cases. As a result, they can quickly become very hot, due to their small size.

HP Imprint HP Imprint was a high-gloss finish for laptop and notebook computers developed by Nissha Printing Co. of Japan in cooperation with HP. It was first developed in May 2006 alongside a new line of HP Pavilion laptops, using an advanced molding technique commonly used in several products such as mobile phone cases, interiors for luxury automobiles, etc., providing a durable yet fashionable design. Each unique designs for HP Imprint was directly inlaid onto the moldings.
An updated version of HP Imprint known as HP Imprint 2 was introduced in June 2008 alongside another new line of HP Pavilion laptops, featuring a liquid-metallic design. It continues to use the same advanced molding techniques as the original HP Imprint, as well as featuring several other unique designs not found in the original HP Imprint.
