I love that separate row of buttons (I know it sounds sarcastic, but really am not, love them). I always use them on my Elitebook, they’re so easy to reach , and quicker too
I have a DV5000, which is the Core Duo version of the DV4000/V4000. It's a surprisingly decent laptop, and pretty well built. Doesn't get much use though.
Seeing the monstrosities that most other laptops of the period are I'm grateful to have had the Toshiba Satellite M115 as my laptop for school. It was so much thinner and lighter even if it was kind of cheap feeling.
I went through a whole bunch of Windows 7 laptops after having sold off my XP desktop in time for an upgrade, they all were rather compact but felt cheap in glossy plastics even the Toshiba Satellite I had temporarily at that time. In contrast to the model you mentioned, some Dell’s at the time-within the early ‘00s-even if somewhat bulky, were built to be that robust (most namely the Inspirons) and even into the Vista era had build quality probably like this HP & Compaq when many already were moving that direction before late. Kinda interesting how Dell’s became more compact during the 7 era while the Toshiba Satellite I remember seeing then were quite bulky themselves.
They were sticking Vista Capable sticker to Pentium M laptops? I thought that was with the first Core Duos (notice I did NOT say Core2Duos, but their now half-forgotten predecessors), along with same era Celerons (all of them still 32 bit CPUs). Again, Pentium M and Vista Capable. This is then part of what killed Vista's reputation as for newer computers, along with people trying to install it on older systems, of course.
oh hey ive got a presario laptop from this era too, turion 64 and ati based, but very similar. found it in our basement missing the bottom covers, hdd, ram, and wifi card. cpu wasn't quite as accessible, either. never got it up and running :(
11:00 the Pavilion zd8000 (also sold as the HP Compaq nx9600 and Compaq Presario X6000, though I can’t speak for those) was also pretty light on bloatware via the recovery discs. I think it also hugely helps that you get the option to not install any of that crap if you don’t want it.
had a v5000 presario, also with a compaq logo and a hp badge on the back. pretty crappy even for its time, could barely handle windows vista, and i couldnt even install 7 or 8.,... 10 surprisingly installed.

Love watching your videos about retro hardware from the 2000s, very nostalgic

Now how about the rebadged Compaq - HP Pavilion NX9010 in the same case design as the Presario 2500

The reason why it shipped with iTunes is because HP had a deal with Apple to manufacture iPods with their branding on it: iPod+HP
im pretty sure one of the higher end models had a desktop cpu
Yeah that Fujitsu drive is most likely a replacement. HP/Compaq used Toshiba or Seagate drives during that era of laptops

I got the same laptop too,but I thought it was just a piece of trash,so I threw it to the trash
@@XGamealtif it wasn’t as deprived as how OP mentioned theirs, you could’ve probably salvaged it
make sure windows is up-to-date with its time settings. I had the same issue. Synchronize the windows Internet time. Should fix the connection error.😊
