Actually, that's not quite true, as QuickPlay is a Linux based system that occupies around 200Mb of the disk and gets DVDs playing in about 10 seconds from power off. The QuickPlay function is handy, as it turns the dv1066 into a standalone DVD/CD/MP3 player with no need to boot into Windows (or Linux) first. I wanted more disk space and it never hurts to have a faster CPU The 10 seem to be identical except for the CPU (1.6GHz vs 1.4Ghz) and hard drive (60Gb vs 40Gb). Ideally I would have liked the BrightView screen and the 80Gb hard drive, but I'm happy enough with the 1066.

HP's online UK shop doesn't seem to cater for home buyers, so I had to settle for a standard model.

Plus it's really good for watching DVDs onĪt the time, the UK seemed to only get two dv1000 models the 1066 and the slightly less powerful 1049. It's relatively small and light, but enough power and capacity for what I need. ( This model is now obsolete - the dv1200 is the nearest current model). I'd been looking for a replacement laptop for some months and finally settled on one of HP's 'Entertainment' dv1000 series of notebooks - the dv1066ea. I don't expect to be updating this page any more. At the time of writing 9.10 is only a month from release and it will be upgraded to that when available. The laptop is still in daily use, running Ubuntu 9.04 without issues.

The dv1066 hardware and its immediate successors are no longer available to buy, and I think there will be less interest in getting this particular model running with Linux. This page is left here as a historical reference only. Ubuntu Linux on a Hewlett Packard Pavilion dv1000 (dv1066ea) notebook.
