HP Pavilion 15 Notebook Review

[Redaktion]

Disappointing screen. HP demands almost 800 Euros for its Pavilion 15. The buyer gets a 1 TB hard drive and a matte screen among other things. However, the latter is absolutely unsatisfactory.

Hi, i love seeing your reviews because they are very authentic and touch on everything important. I have a question though, I've gone to HP and found the computer and it seems to fit my needs but the screen as you say is less than average. There is a configuration for a 15.6-inch diagonal Full HD WLED-backlit IPS Display (1920x1080). I don't know if they changed it or if the website is wrong? But I feel like I will be okay with this screen. Of course, you guys know a lot more. I come asking you guys this because I plan on using my next computer for entertainment/art. I am a student and wish to do a little bit of graphic art like 2D and animation as well as in my free time some light title gaming like Fez, Dust: An Elysian Tail, or Undertale. If you can reply to this with an answer, please help, this would mean a lot. Thanks.

Review for HP Pavilion 15t Non-Touch Laptop 2016

I researched for over a month and looked at hundreds of laptops to find the one that fit my needs and budget. It was very important for me to get the perfect computer because I spent about four years dealing with a horrible Toshiba satellite laptop and I did not want to relive that. I also did not have money to get another one if I got a used or refurbished laptop that did not have a warranty and did not work. I also did not have the time to wait to get another one. So after much searching and headache I decided to go with HP. I ordered my HP Pavilion 15t non touch laptop on Feb 22, 2016 and it was delivered on March 3, 2016, so the delivery time was ok but it did not ship in the standard 3-6 business days like it was stated. It was also stated that HP laptops are made in America, which is not true, they are made in China, which adds to delivery time. I customized my laptop with blizzard white, 8 Gb Memory, 15.6-inch diagonal Full HD WLED-backlit Display (1920x1080), 802.11b/g/n WLAN and Bluetooth(R) [1x1]. I wish the blizzard white looked more white rather than looking like a light silver/gray color. I love the design of the laptop, it is very smooth and sleek. The keyboard is perfect but the mouse does not click that great, HP should have made 2 separate bumps so it could be easier to distinguish the sections. I like the placement and look of the speakers and the sound is decent but its nothing special like was advertised. The camera is good. The DVD/CD drive has to be the cheapest I've ever seen! They really could have done better with that. The screen size is 13 ½ inches instead of 15.6". It's not that big of a deal for me but it's false advertising. It could have been the advertised size if the black framing was cut back. The weight of the laptop is good. It does not feel cheap at all, it's not too light and it's not too heavy. Battery life is not good; it charges fast but I only get about 2 to 2 ½ hours unplugged. Most laptop batteries last a lot less then they advertise, which does not make it ok but it's something I noticed. Lucky for me it's not that big of a deal to be plugged in but if it was I would be very upset! HP's customer service is a joke! I tried to use the online chat to ask a question and I never got anybody! When I called them I had to wait a very long time and when I finally did speak to somebody I had to deal with a guy with a thick Indian accent that I could barely understand and he did not know the answers to most of my questions! When he transferred me to another department (and had to wait long again) I was disconnected! HP needs to work on their customer service ASAP!!!! There are some other features that I have not checked out yet but so far so good. So would I recommend this laptop? Yes, I would! There are a few things I don't like and some false advertising going on but besides that I am happy with my laptop! I love the color choices they have. It has almost everything I wanted for the best price compared to the rest! HP really needs to do a lot better with their customer service and stop false advertising but if this computer holds up they will have a long time customer. The HP Pavilion 15t non touch laptop gets 4 out of 5 stars from me!

I paid about 800$ for this, and it is NOT worth it. They told me it was good for playing games such as the Sims, Minecraft and Undertale. IT IS NOT. It's loud, it's heavy, the battery doesn't last for more than 2 hours, and the screen is so bad! DO NOT BUY THIS, YOU'LL REGRET IT. The fan starts going crazy even if I don't have anything open. I have even put it on rest mode and it's silent for a while, but suddenly the fan goes crazy again! I hate this, 0 stars from me. Thanks HP.

Within the first year after purchasing this product through Staples (brand new in box) I was not happy as I encountered major issues. The first issue I had was that the screen would flicker, freeze and would be distorted. This happened while it was under it's warranty, so HP supposedly "repaired" it which took approximately a week and a half. Once I got it back, within a few hours of usage the same issue came up where the screen would freeze and flicker, they had not fixed this issue the first time so I ended up sending it back out to HP for repair again. Another week went by and I finally got it back. Not much longer, another problem came up. This laptop randomly displayed a blue screen which was an error, that said "process1_Initialization_failed". Now this laptop is useless and there is nothing that can fix this unless I pay to get it repaired which I don't think is worth it because I am afraid that I will encounter another issue in the future. This computer was a waste of money and I DID NOT get what I paid for. DO NOT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE! Look into another laptop and cross this one off the list!
