HP Pavilion computers have been produced by Hewlett-Packard (commonly known as HP) since 1995. They generally compete with similar computers from companies such as Toshiba and Acer. The Pavilion line includes both desktops and laptops for the home and home office product range. When Hewlett-Packard merged with Compaq in 2002, HP took over Compaq’s naming rights agreement and sold both HP and Compaq-branded computers until 2013.

The HP Pavilion is part of HP’s G Series of notebook personal computers. Users can replace the laptop’s AC adapter, battery, hard drive, keyboard, memory modules, optical drive, and WLAN module. Most G7 laptops include 640 GB hard drives and a six-cell Lithium-ion battery. HP Pavilion G7 laptops generally feature approximately 17-inch or 17.3-inch displays.

While the model name (G7-xxx) will sometimes appear on the casing of the computer, the model number can be important for identifying the exact specifications of your computer. HP Pavilion model names include a range of suffixes that can be found on this Wikipedia page. This HP support page gives specific directions to find identifying numbers on your HP desktop computer. Once you find them, you can enter these numbers into the HP support website for troubleshooting and specifications directly from the manufacturer.
