Background
Hewlett-Packard is an information technology company known as the ‘birthplace of Silicon Valley,’ as it got its roots manufacturing electrical testing equipment out of a Palo Alto garage in 1938. The company is now responsible for producing a variety of laptop lines ranging from the budget-friendly to the high-end gaming. Perhaps the most iconic of these lines is the Pavilion, which released in 1995 and has functioned as the staple consumer varietal ever since. Other lines include the mid-range Envy, the ascetic oriented Spectre, the budget friendly Chromebook and Stream, the powerful ProBook and Z workstations, the Omen for gaming, and the premium Elite/Elitebook line.
Over the years, Hewlett-Packard has several computer hardware and software companies and integrated their technology with their own laptop lines.

Identification
To find the model number, look at the bottom of your laptop.
HP Laptops usually have an encircled ‘hp’ logo on the top case. Some do not, with the most prominent exception being the Omen line, which sports VooDoo’s “Tribal Mask” logo (HP acquired high-performance laptop company VooDooPC in 2006).
