The HP Pavilion dv1000 was a model series of laptops manufactured by Hewlett-Packard Company that featured 16:10 14.1" diagonal displays.

Quanta Computer Inc., an Original design manufacturer (ODM), manufacturers the hardware, motherboard, and design of the dv1000 series of laptops alongside the dv4000, dv5000, and dv8000 series, and later the dv2000, dv6000, and dv9000 series. Equivalent models were the HP Pavilion ze2000 series, Compaq Presario ze2000 and V2000 series, and HP Compaq nx4800 series of laptops, which were also manufactured by Quanta in cooperation with HP.

Overview

The HP Pavilion dv1000 series was marketed towards home and small business users. They were a series of "thin and light" widescreen laptops featuring a black and silver finish. The laptop measures 13.1 in (330 mm) wide, 1.2 in (30 mm) deep, 9 in (230 mm) thick, and weighs 5.26 lb (2.39 kg).

Several different models and revisions of the motherboard were available, which included Intel (single or dual core) or AMD CPUs, and IDE or SATA hard drives.

The following CPUs (and chipsets) were available:

• Intel Pentium M and Celeron M Banias and Dothan (855 and 910 chipsets)
• Intel Pentium Dual-Core, Core Solo, Core Duo (later models with 945 chipset)
• AMD Athlon 64 X2 (nForce 4 or nForce 600 chipsets)

One notable feature of this laptop series (as well as many other laptops in the HP Pavilion laptop line at the time) was HP QuickPlay, which has the ability to boot into a dedicated environment for multimedia use without booting into the operating system. On models preinstalled with Windows Vista, the QuickPlay boot option was removed due to compatibility issues, but can still be accessed from within Windows via a separate application.

Problems

A common issue with some models of the series is the failure of the battery charging/internal power system in which the notebook will not detect DC power when plugged in.
