Which Is The Best HP Laptop?

5. HP Pavilion 15

HP is one of the most prominent laptop brands in the market, and it is one of the most popular ones too, if not the most popular. The company has built its name through the years, and it is known for delivering excellent business laptops, one of the most notable for that purpose is the Pavilion series. The model I have my hands on today is the HP Pavilion 15, a great machine, with plenty of Performance, refined design, good display, all coming in at an extremely valuable package.

As we have come to know from the Pavilion series, this laptop features a very simplistic and minimal design as well. However, this time around the designers have opted for sharper angles on its corners and all-around, resulting in a more streamlined design, and combined with its matte finish, on its sturdy plastic frame, gives it a premium look. This device is pretty portable as well, measuring just 0.78-inches at its thickest point and weighs just 4.21-pounds, so it will fit into most backpacks and carry it around with ease.

This device features a 15.6-inch IPS WLED-backlit panel with anti-glare coating, and it has a Full HD resolution of 1920x1080p. The display was able to portray plenty of detail and the colours were fairly good as well, better than most of its mid-range competitors.

The brightness is somewhat not as good as I expected but it should be enough at 237nits, and it is worth mentioning that it was extremely even throughout the screen.

In the performance department, this model is equipped with an 8th Generation Quad-Core Intel Core i5-8250U processing unit, combined with 8GB of RAM and 1TB of 5400 rpm SATA HDD, which is the fastest of the sort. These performances make it a productivity workhorse and it should be enough for most of daily use, however, don’t expect it to run triple-A games though.

The battery life is a little lacking, however, it should be enough to last a day in the office averaging about 8 hours with moderate use.

If you want an affordable mid-range laptop, for your business purposes, the HP Pavilion 15 delivers. Definitely deserves its spot in this best hp laptops list!
