The HP Pavilion dv7 was a model series of laptops manufactured by Hewlett-Packard from 2008 to 2012 that featured a 16:9 17.3" diagonal display. The HP Pavilion dv4 featured a 14.1" and the HP Pavilion dv5 a 15.4" display.

The dv7 had room for two hard drives, but was supplied with one because if a second hard drive was to be fitted, then a hardware kit consisting of a bracket, connector cable, Mylar shield, and screws was required.[1]

The Pavilion dv7 was out of production as of August 2012, due to most Pavilion laptops (namely the Pavilion m4, m6, dv6 and dv7 series) being rebranded into the premium HP Envy lineup in 2013.

All Pavilion laptops were rebranded as ENVY in 2013 and sold with Windows 8 as the OS. For this reason, the motherboard was changed and new CPUs added. Other specifications remain the same as the previous DV7-7000/7100 series notebooks.[9]

In 2015, HP released a new series of HP Envy Laptops including the dv3, dv5 and dv7 models. The models featured a new case design, fingerprint sensor, a lifted hinge, Bang and Olufsen speakers and new Intel Core i processors based on the Skylake architecture. These new models came with Windows 10 as the OS.
