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...

AMD RX 550 and GTX 1050 graphics options ; dual internal storage bays; NVMe support ; 1080p touchscreen and 4K UHD options ; stronger chassis; improved design ; powerful gaming performance ; no major CPU throttling ; respectable battery life

uneven surface temperatures; warm palm rest ; lid could be more rigid; slightly more teetering ; system fans always active; loud under load ; no Thunderbolt 3 or DisplayPort ; unimpressive internal speakers ; difficult serviceability ; limited color...

The Pavilion 15 Power is the stronger and more easily recommendable notebook compared to the standard Pavilion 15 if HQ-class CPUs and Pascal graphics are desirable options. The chassis is a significant update to the point where even typing feels more...

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...
