It's an HP Pavilion - the Pavilion brand is on at least it's 7th generation and I'm not sure what generation this one is, but the buying process included a bizzare email chain that went in quick succession 'We don't make these any more' and then 'We'll deliver it tomorrow'.
It's powerful enough, but I'm seriously not impressed by the build quality. It isn't three years old yet and has already needed a new power supply and keyboard. One of the hinges has recently given way, that's partly my fault, I fell asleep, and it slid off my chest from sofa height to floor - I woke as it slid and caught it, so it didn't get the full impact, but a crack in the plastic backing to the screen has slowly spread and just recently snapped the hinge. If I can't patch it with superglue and some decent plastic then I may start looking for a replacement. Considering my previous Toshiba lasted me a decade, HP has failed to impress.
