[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Needed a laptop for my mom to do her “farm books” hold the thousands of grandkid photos and handle her creative side - so it needed to be functional, have adequate storage and ease of use. This laptop handles it all and more. I can always relied on HP for an affordable product that will work for years.
I've been using this laptop for about three weeks, and I couldn't be happier with its perfomance. The screen is good, keyboard as well, large trackpad, great speakers and battery life is excellent despite its capacity (obviously thanks to the 15W Ryzen 4700U). The only cons I'd mention of this laptop is the camera: is not that great (I expected something better for the price). There's an audio distortion that rarely happens while listening to music or streaming videos. Lasts like 0.5 secs while listening to a song, I hope this is a software issue and fix this. Fingerprint scanner is honestly convenient, but reliability... It is not awful, but it's finicky sometimes. Overall, it is a excellent laptop by all accounts.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The SSD loads quickly and offers plenty of storage. Display is bright and clear and overall laptop is lightweight. The power button is in an odd location that is easily missed with the other keys but once you find it, you know it for good. This is my second Pavilion and I have been pleased with both!
