FS: Laptop (HP DV4000)

[sytyguy]

Got a spare laptop lying around that I just put a new motherboard in.

HP Pavilion DV4000
- Intel Pentium M 2.00 GHz Processor
- 1GB DDR RAM
- Intel 915GM Graphics
- Intel PRO Wifi
- Windows 7 SP1
- Tunerpro RT preinstalled with all current xdf/adx/drivers
- Brand new motherboard and charger

$80 + S&H (price reduced for battery)

The lid top has moderate signs of wear/scratches, and the touchpad has the classic wear spot in the middle (works flawlessly though).
Also, the battery doesn't hold a reliable charge, but replacements batteries are cheap ($19.99): Like this one.

Now some pics:

Out of curiosity how does that thing run with those specs? is it decent?

Quite well. We optimize all systems we repair or sell, and the performance on minimal hardware is good. Is this system gonna play modern games or output 720P on a flat screen.....nah-uh. But, it's intended to be an $80 tuning laptop and for that it does just fine. I didn't get a WEI while I had it open, but will look Monday. Will also get a P/S overview and a raw +-PF scale while I'm looking. Obviously, that will change as P/S's are changed and the PF demand subsequently changes.

To explain further.....it's well known that 7 requires less hardware prowess to run healthy than Vista did. When 7 was still in early beta stage, we did some testing for PNY (RAM company) and Microsoft on RAM/PF indexing and what a bare minimum could be (they were ironing out some changes to the WEI). We found out that (if using a modified install, standard PF hacks, and some optimization) we got decent stability and some surprising WEI scores with only 384MB. One of my employees even scripted a hack and we got Aero running on less than 512MB. I was pleasantly surprised with W7 performance on meager hardware.

Having said that, this is a single core, 2ghz, 1gb ram system so don't expect it to set the world on fire....especially if you have 10 tabs open, AVG doing a scan, and VLC playing a rip of the latest Modern Family. :tup:

Thanks for sharing your findings that's very interesting. Im going to have to invest some time into some of the older models I have laying around to see how well they can handle win7 32

Thanks
