full analysis of HP notebook models

HP home product line

First of all, HP notebooks are divided into two product lines, home and business, and in these two product lines, both have their own mid-to-high-end and low-end models.

the high-end model of household product line is HP Pavilion series, while the low-end model is HP Compaq Presario series.

it is worth mentioning that HDX, which originally belonged to the Pavilion series, was recently separated and became the third largest series of household product lines, positioning itself in the high-end market.

the high-end model of commercial product line is HP EliteBook series, and the low-end model is HP Compaq series. To sum up, we have made the following table:

high-end model HP Pavilion, HP HDX HP EliteBook

low-end model HP Compaq Presario HP Compaq

Next, let's further analyze the naming method of home product line.

HP Pavilion

At present, the main models of HP Pavilion series are dv3(13.3 inches), dv4-11(14.1 inches) and dv5-11 series (15.4 inches). Among them, dv4-11 is the successor of the familiar dv2 series, and it has made some progress in heat dissipation, and the number of USB interfaces has also increased to three.

the first digit after p>dv represents the screen size, and the following digits represent the replacement of configuration, but it should be noted that the higher the number, the better the configuration is not necessarily. Similarly, so do other series.

depending on the specific models, these notebooks are different in terms of processors, memory and hard disks, but the graphics cards are often the same. For example, dv3 uses 93M GS graphics card, dv4 uses 92M GS graphics card, and dv5 uses 96M GT. Obviously, dv5 is more suitable for playing games, but its calorific value is also relatively large.

HP Compaq Presario

At present, the main model of HP Compaq Presario series is CQ4 series (14.1 inches), which is the successor of V3 series, in which CQ45 belongs to the mainstream model, while CQ4 has a lower positioning.

now let's get to the point. Whether it is HP Pavilion series or HP Compaq Presario series, there will be two letters at the end of the model. Please note: T in the first letter stands for Intel platform, A stands for AMD platform, and U in the second letter stands for integrated graphics card and X stands for discrete graphics card. Please see the following table:

letter suffix Intel platform AMD platform

integrated graphics card TU AU

discrete graphics card TX AX

I remember that there was a common trick in Zhongguancun: the consumer wanted to buy HP 3742TU(7 yuan), but the profiteer sold him HP 3742AU(5 yuan), and the difference between words made the profiteer get two.

when the consumer finds out that he has been cheated after returning home, and then goes back to the profiteer, he finds that the invoice only says "HP 3742", and the specific suffix letter is not clearly written, so he can only admit that he is unlucky.

Therefore, we suggest that when you buy an HP notebook, you must remember every number and letter in the complete model to avoid the trap of profiteers (click here to learn more).

next, let's take a look at the naming of HP's commercial product line.

commercial product line of HP

Before that, HP had only one series of Compaq in the commercial field, but the price range of this series was too large, which was not conducive to shaping the image of high-end products. Therefore, in June this year, it further subdivided the EliteBook series, focusing on the middle and high-end market, aiming at Lenovo's ThinkPad series.

compared with Compaq, the advantages of EliteBook are mainly reflected in the following aspects:

1. The top cover and palm rest are made of magnesium-aluminum alloy, and the surface is added with metal wire drawing technology and HP DuraFinish protective coating, thus maximizing the firmness and wear resistance of the fuselage.

2. The design of earthquake-resistant hard disk and waterproof keyboard can meet the demanding military standard test requirements, and can maintain environmental reliability and normal operation even in the environment of vibration and high humidity and at the temperature of -29℃ to 6℃.

3. You can choose an environmentally-friendly mercury-free LED backlight LCD screen; With the long standby battery combination, it can meet all-day office applications for up to 15 hours; In addition, it also supports RAID disk array, business card recognition and other technologies.

however, the naming rules of both Compaq series and EliteBook series are exactly the same. Take HP Compaq 6531s as an example, the specific models are all composed of four digits and one letter. Their specific meanings are as follows:

Number one:

2 stands for light and portable model (12.1 inches)

6 stands for relatively balanced model with performance mobility (14.1 inches to 15.4 inches)

8 stands for high-performance model with poor portability (15.4 inches to 17.1 inches)

Number two: < p

the fourth digit:

or 1 stands for Intel processor

5 stands for AMD processor

The last letter:

s standard

B Business)

p > P professional

W workstation

At present. In the Compaq series, the products ending with the letter "B" are characterized by silver surface and magnesium alloy supporting structure (frame only), such as HP Compaq 653b；; The products ending with the letter "S" are characterized by satin reflective black surface, which makes business notebooks more modern and fashionable, such as HP Compaq 6531s. On the other hand, the EliteBook series mostly ends with the letter "P", such as HP Compaq 693p.

in addition, HP has several products with special models, such as the economical business notebook-HP 54 and the new member of the netbook family-HP mini 1.

among them, the HP 54 is mainly targeted at those consumers with limited budgets, while the HP Mini 1 is more suitable as a "second notebook for users", which can be carried around, handled with simple work and connected with a projector.
