HP Pavilion
HP Pavilion is a line of consumer-oriented personal computers originally produced by Hewlett-Packard and later by its successor, HP Inc. Introduced in 1995, HP has used the name for both desktops and laptops for home and home office use.
After acquiring Compaq in 2002, HP sold both HP- and Compaq-branded machines under the Pavilion and Presario names respectively from 2002 to 2013.
As of 2024[update], the HP Pavilion line is currently being supplanted by the AI-powered "Omni" brand (OmniBook, OmniStudio, OmniDesk) due to a corporate streamlining of products that happened that year.
On August 14, 1995, HP introduced the HP Pavilion brand of IBM PC–compatible computers as a new line of computers designed exclusively for home computing market with the release of the HP Pavilion PC series. The first computer released for the brand was the HP Pavilion 5030 multimedia desktop computer. While not the first multimedia PC the company made, it was the first computer made by HP that was designed specifically for the home market. Prior to this, the first multimedia PCs made by the company were the HP Multimedia PC 6100, 6140S, and 6170S. As an entry-level model, the Pavilion 5030 featured a 75 MHz Intel Pentium processor, 8 MB RAM, an 850 MB hard drive, a quad-speed CD-ROM drive, Altec Lansing speakers, and includes some software for online service access. It came shipped with Windows 95 preinstalled, coinciding with the then-upcoming launch of Microsoft's then-new operating system at the time.
Prior to the introduction of the Pavilion line in 1995, HP was known for their business-oriented models such as those from the HP Vectra series as well as the OmniBook (1993–2002) line of business notebooks. HP also produced a low-cost, high-speed infrared transceiver that allowed wireless data exchange in a range of portable computing applications, these included telephones, computers, printers, cash registers, automatic teller machines, and digital cameras. Around the same year the Pavilion was introduced, Dave Packard published The HP Way: How Bill Hewlett and I Built Our Company, a book based on the company's The HP Way philosophy that chronicles the rise of Hewlett-Packard in the 1940s through the 1990s and gave consumers insight into its business practices, culture, and management style.
The first laptops and notebooks under the Pavilion brand were announced on October 4, 1999, becoming the first laptop and notebook computers made by HP that was sold in the retail (home) market outside of the business market. The initial models were the HP Pavilion N3100 series (including the HP Pavilion N3110, N3150 and N3190), which featured a 433–466 MHz Intel Celeron processor, 32–64 MB RAM, a 4.8–6.4 MB hard drive, a 4x–24x CD-ROM drive, a 12.1–14.1 inch LCD screen, built-in speakers, a PC Card slot, some software for online service access, and came shipped with Windows 98 Second Edition preinstalled.
In May 2002, HP acquired Compaq, a former information technology company known for their Presario line of computers among other products. After acquiring the company, HP then took over Compaq's existing naming rights agreement and so sold both HP- and Compaq-branded machines until 2013.
In May 2024, HP announced that the Pavilion name, along with multiple others like Envy and Spectre, would be gradually retired as part of a streamlining of brands that year, with new consumer computers (except for Omen) being released under the Omni branding, with OmniBook, OmniStudio and OmniDesk brandings. This rebranding also marked the return of the OmniBook brand back to HP after originally being discontinued in 2002 as part of the merger with Compaq that same year. The new Omni brand would consist of computers utilizing next-generation AI technologies.
