HP Pavilion dv5-1004nr Refurbished Notebook PC
It’s one of the most powerful laptop computers ever offered at an affordable price. It’s the HP Pavilion dv5-1004nr Refurbished Notebook PC. And it’s powered by a 2.1GHz AMD Turion X2 Dual-Core Ultra ZM-80 processor with a 2MB L2 cache. Onboard this 5.84-pound laptop are some of the best components in the industry. 4096MB of DDR2 memory (that’s 4GB!), a 250GB 5400RPM hard drive, an ATI Radeon HD 3200 Graphics processor, a LightScribe Super Multi 8X DVD±R/RW with Double Layer Support optical drive, 802.11b/g wireless, a brilliant 15.4-inch WXGA high-definition BrightView widescreen, and much more (please see complete specifications below). All running on Genuine Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit with Service Pack 1). This is the real deal. A desktop replacement – and then some. More firepower in a compact design than you’ll find anywhere else at this price. The HP Pavilion dv5-1004nr Refurbished Notebook PC – performance you can take with you anywhere.

This laptop is ok, but it is not your out of the box quick and go laptop. This laptop is shipped with a lot of software which cause the laptop to take a long time to load. After spending 3 hours stressed about how much resources this machine uses. I decided to see what was sprinting in the background by running msconfig. Here you will see a lot of stuff that loads before you get to the desktop. If you want to keep all the software that was shipped with the laptop, plan to use the max memory possible (8GB). I deleted a few items (Norton and others)and ran Ccleaner and then the machine begin to run a little faster. I got frustrated and installed Ubuntu Linux this morning before I came to work and this machine is really, really fast. Overall, I strongly believe that the issue is with Vista not the hardware. If you want to see this machine boot faster, you must turn on both processors and use the full memory specified (click on the boot tab in msconfig).
