HP Pavilion Laptop 16 review: A capable, versatile laptop

 

The HP Pavilion Laptop 16 is as thin as an ultrabook and has a huge display like a gaming laptop, but it's the more versatile laptop by far.

Large 16-inch display with a tall 16:10 aspect ratio ; Very large keyboard with dedicated numpad ; Long battery life ; Plenty of space to stretch out in the chassis makes using it feel effortless ; Very lightweight and slim for its size

Downward firing speakers lose some audio clarity ; The display quality is fine but not amazing ; Performance of the discrete Nvidia MX570 A GPU is lackluster among discrete GPUs for gaming

The HP Pavilion Laptop 16 is a jack of all trades with a big display and comfortable spacious keyboard packed with options. It also has a long battery life and enough power to comfortably handle most leisure and office applications.

HP Pavilion Gaming 16 Review (a0030TX)

 

The Pavilion series is generally known for its reliable and powerful laptops targeted at home and office settings. In fact, my first laptop was a Pavilion 15 ab032tx which has aged well over the years. So, when the model under assessment ie, the HP...

Powerful performance ; Dapper design ; Satisfactory keyboard and I/O

Just 60Hz refresh rate ; Mediocre battery life ; Middling speaker output

HP Pavilion Gaming 16 isn’t breaking any grounds or setting any benchmarks. But it’s fairly kitted out and there’s very little not to like here. You get the battle-tested CPU and GPU, bolstered by oodles of RAM and respectable storage at disposal. It...

I bought this laptop as a general laptop but also so that I could game at a beginner level. Its an exceptionally fast laptop with a sleek design. The keyboard is easy to type on and utilise and I'm very happy with my purchase. I would recommend this...

The fans make quite a loud noise when running/ starting up something at a higher capacity (but with headphones in you don't even notice!)

- Runs many of the more recent games in the last 12 months (i.e. Doom Eternal) on fairly high settings without too much trouble - Very fast start up due to the SSD - Generally runs at high performance either when gaming or generally browsing the...

- Battery life is pretty poor even on power saving settings; games can generally only run on battery for a maximum of 1-2 hours before the need to plug in - Fan can get loud when playing demanding games but is to be expected - Not the biggest storage,...
