matte display ; Full HD resolution ; hardly warms up ; SSD ; fast storage card reader ; AC WLAN ; backlit keyboard

dark display with poor contrast and unstable viewing angles ; only one year warranty ; difficult maintenance

With the Pavilion 15-cc107ng, HP has a 15.6-inch all-rounder in its offerings. The built-in ULV quad-core processor offers more than enough computing power for all the usual application scenarios. The dedicated graphics core enables the limited use of...

primary and secondary 2.5-inch storage options ; very good gaming performance for the size ; good colors and grayscale ; bright display backlight ; thin, attractive design

system throttling under extreme loads ; uneven surface temperatures ; no USB Type-C port; no mDP ; plastic palm rests feel cheap ; loud fan noise when gaming ; soft clickpad; poor feedback ; no NVMe or RAID 0 options ; system fans always active ;...

The new Pavilion 15 is the intermediate between the GTX 950M-equipped Pavilion 15 of 2015 and the latest GTX 965M-equipped Omen 15 launched just a few weeks ago. Thus, it's also priced accordingly at a few hundred USD less than the entry-level but more...

Matte, bright, Full HD screen, Decent application performance, Gaming suitable, Good battery runtimes

Low-contrast, viewing angle dependent screen, 12 month warranty only, Fast-Ethernet only, No maintenance cover

The buyer will find a decent, all-round laptop for a price of 599 Euros (~$776) in the Pavilion 15-p008ng. The Core i5 processor and GeForce 840M graphics core provide the necessary computing power in everyday life as well as in performance-devouring...

Decent application and gaming performance; Modest power consumption; Good battery runtimes

Dark screen with bluish cast; 12 month warranty only; No VGA out; Fast Ethernet only

Hewlett Packard only includes a 12-month warranty at a purchase price of 800 Euros (~$1088). The competition offers more here. Why HP installs such a dark screen is also inconceivable.

Good application performance; Decent battery runtimes; Low power consumption; Quiet operation; Slim appearance

12 month warranty only; A slightly too dark screen w/ bluish cast

Hewlett Packard only includes a one-year warranty while the competition often offers two years.

Excellent battery life, Well built, Crisp display, Precise keyboard

There will be performance limitations, after a certain point

A decent enough option for budget buyers, but cheaper options offer the same basic experience and you only need spend a little more to get a much better screen.

Brilliant battery life ; Large hard drive ; Low price ; Pleasing styling ; Full-sized keyboard

Unimpressive screen ; Single-channel memory ; Flimsy construction ; Rattling optical drive ; Poor core performance

If you're looking for a straightforward laptop on a tight budget, the Pavilion 15 does more than its pricing might suggest. You won't be playing the latest games on it, and anything that is too processor-intensive is going to take a while, but it's not...

Plenty of power, sensational design, excellent finish, great keyboard

Battery life, spec doesn't match US versions, some fan noise

The HP Envy 15 has some real strengths: the design is sensational, the keyboard is excellent and the power on offer makes this a really versatile machine. This has to be balanced against the lack of internal drive and poor battery life, which means...
