I would say the Pavilion is a pretty good laptop compared with the others. I didn't want "the latest thing," because I was looking for something that would last only a couple years. And yet, what was offered in the Pavilion was more than I expected. If there is to be any complaints, the first is the lack of battery detail - there is no way this computer is going to get close to maximum power saving unless it's utilizing the lowest screen brightness, power efficiency settings, no keyboard illumination, and doing the least CPU-related tasks. Although I haven't tested it that much, I can say that email, browsing, and word processing will get me about 7-9 hours using medium power settings (50% brightness, no videos playing, etc.). I did have one day when I watched two hours of video that got me lower than 20% battery. The second complaint is having the F# keys needing the fn button. Example: when I want to press F5 to refresh a page, I have to press fn+F5, otherwise without the fn it mutes the sound. I do like to flip the screen around and use it as a stand when watching shows. The top has a decent magnetic spot where the pen can stay on pretty well, though I wish it could be shoved in an inside slot. Overall, the typing has a great feel, the touchpad is in a good spot that my wrist doesn't get in the way, and the screen is sensitive enough for my tastes. Oh, and the included pen is great! I do have trouble with the fingerprint reader, but that might be because I rock climb and my finger print gets destroyed every couple days. Today it's working fine. Thanks.
A good laptop for an author who also runs a few intensive apps simultaneously. The Warm Gold version comes with a fingerprint reader, although the website says otherwise. My only gripe isn't so much with the computer as it is with the pen - I wish there was a way to turn it off, rather than have it constantly drain battery.
I really love how aesthetic it looks. And it just works perfectly. And it is also portable. Fits just right into my previous chromebook bag. Portable and can easily be switched to tablet mode. Easy to carry around in both home and work.
I chose to give my laptop a few upgrades and I think it was well worth the price. I needed an affordable laptop for school. I searched for months and finally exactly what I was looking for. I love to two in one features as well as the HP pen!
Performs exactly as expected. Solid feel to it. Great to be able to "dock" it with just one USB-C hub that connects to keyboard, mouse, audio and HDMI.
Windows 11 experience was unparralleled for migration of data between this computer from the old laptop my daughter was using. Everything sync'd after I went through the initial config, and that took only a few minutes. Great product, great experience. My daughter is an aspiring artist and the convert to tablet mode is a great desirable use for her.
