DV2z
In early 2009, AMD unveiled the Yukon mobile platform, designed specifically for ultra-portable laptops. Shortly thereafter, HP launched the dv2z model utilizing this platform. This ultra-thin notebook measured less than one inch in thickness and weighed under 3.81 pounds. To preserve its slim design, the conventional internal optical drive was omitted in favor of an optional external USB optical drive enclosure.
At launch, the dv2z was equipped with an AMD Athlon Neo MV-40 single-core processor paired with ATI Radeon Xpress X1250 integrated graphics; an optional upgrade to a discrete ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3410 GPU was available. By mid-2009, HP expanded the dv2z lineup to include dual-core AMD Athlon/Turion Neo X2 processors.
The system came pre-installed with Microsoft Windows Vista, and users were later offered a complimentary upgrade to Windows 7.
