Old Hp laptop

[Charlie Clarke]

Hey guys, I just bought a hp laptop for cheap on ebay.

 

It is meant to be a hp dv5000, that is what it says on the case and screen besel, but on doing some research the dv5000 uses an amd processor and graphics. The stickers say intel centrino duo and nvidia graphics, and when I opened it up it had an intel sound card. The most similar computer is the dv4000 which uses intel centrino, but is older, and uses an intel gpu, as well as original ddr ram (mine has 4gb ddr2 667mhz) I am extremely confused,can anyone help me....? Also I am waiting for a charger to arrive so that I can power it on....... 

 

I may have found it

Check to see the bottom label, there is usually a model number to which your laptop is specific to. For example my old HP laptop was a dv7 but it had an amd processor because it was a model 3079-wr.

Every HP laptop series since the dv series introduced has an Intel and an AMD version as well.
