HP - The Name You Can Count On!
The old HP DV7 is almost dead as of now - however, you can still count on the name HP! They have been around for decades and I do remember my first few laptops that were HP.
Why DV7? The screen is 17 inches hence name DV7.
Since the laptop is out of commission for a few years now, the only thing I can say about this laptop is - If you're looking for a lot of screen real estate and enough power for work and play, the HP Pavilion dv7 was a good place to start.
The replacement for DV7 is ENVY DV7 - and I am sure you'll find another review for the newer version of DV7, HP ENVY DV7.
