Test HP Pavilion Gaming 17 Laptop: Gutes Display zum Budget-Preis

[Redaktion]

Während die meisten Gaming-Notebooks unter 1.000 Euro deutliche Schwächen bei der Bildqualität zeigen (Stichwort Farbraum), bewirbt HP das Pavilion Gaming 17-cd2146ng mit einer sRGB-Abdeckung von 100 %. Wir haben dem 17-Zöller auf den Zahn gefühlt.

A "gaming" laptop with a slow and obsolete 3050Ti and a 15W processor from AMD by performance for 1000$!? Hahaha, don't make fun of my slippers.

The only valuable thing (it would be if it weren't for too large pixels) in this model is a screen with normal color reproduction and more or less fast response. But 17.3" is not enough 1920x1080 resolution (pixels too big, very low ppi for text and photo!), there you already need a 4k@120Hz panel and nothing else. We might play at a resolution of 1920x1080 (since 4k is divided completely when the resolution is lowered to fhd, unlike the idiotic resolution of 2560x), but we might work and surf, watch movies/videos in 4k, where the quality of text and photos is many times higher than on 1920x1080 panels and like text quality from laser printers .

Let me remind HP that 4k@120Hz panels from AUO cost $140-170 on Ali at _retail_ prices! fhd@144Hz cost $100-110. Question to HP and other manufacturers - what kind of goons do you have to be in order to put on 17.3 panels worse than 4k @ 120Hz in 2022? Not a single buyer will refuse to pay an extra $70, seeing the difference with his eyes 4k panel vs poor fhd panel...

The NB coming with FreeDOS is a super big pain!!!
As a gaming NB this should come with Windows 10/11, so typically you would want that for gaming.
The USB installation of Win10 is not that easy as the Win10 knows no drivers for the intel 11th gen chipset.
So you will have to download the drivers from HP and put them on USB to be able to provide them at Win installtion, otherwise you cant select the installation drive.
All considered the effort is not worth saving some bucks, so I don´t recommend this laptop for gaming!
