The HP Pavilion dv2 was a series of 12" notebooks manufactured by Hewlett-Packard Company.
DV2z
In January 2009, AMD announced the Yukon mobile platform for ultra-portable notebooks.[1] The announcement was shortly followed by HP introducing the dv2z based on the Yukon platform.[2] The dv2z was an ultra-portable notebook that measured under 1-inch thick and weighed under 3.81 pounds. The traditional internal optical drive (DVD-ROM) was moved to an external USB enclosure to allow for the slimmer design.
The laptop initially came with an AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 processor and used ATI Radeon Xpress X1250 integrated graphics. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3410 was an optional discrete GPU. On June 9, 2009, HP incorporated the dual-core AMD Athlon/Turion Neo X2 processors.[3]
The laptop came with Microsoft Windows Vista pre-installed. A free upgrade offer for Microsoft Windows 7 was made available later in 2009.[4]
