Its a Pavilion 5000, a little over a year old, 2ghz p4
it has no hp power management interface, only hp utilites such as tvnow, presentation ready, etc. but no power management
I dropped the laptop, breaking the screen, gave it to my parents to use and they're not too keen on opening it up and restarting it everytime they need to power down or restart.
