Lacking a discrete graphics processor, the Pavilion line is more suitable for general computing use than for gaming or high-end graphics or video production. I appreciated the water resistant keyboard on the education-targeted Dell Chromebook 11, and its absence here means that students should take care when eating and drinking around the Pavilion. Unlike more expensive business-class notebooks like the Lenovo ThinkPad T450s, there is no water sealing on the Pavilion's keyboard. Personally I'd rather not have a number pad and have a centered keyboard and trackpad, which could still be achieved on the smaller 14-inch model. The 15- and 17-inch Pavilion models will come with a number pad for easier number entry, which will be an excellent feature for students using the computer for math, statistics, finance and those who spend hours in Excel. In addition to housing on a full-sized keyboard, HP is also including a number pad on its larger Pavilion notebooks.

Users who prefer to have the versatility of having a full notebook and a tablet should also look at HP's similarly refreshed Pavilion x360 range. The lack of an edge-to-edge glass panel made the Pavilion's screen look more like the display on rival Apple's MacBook Air, which isn't a bad thing, especially when looking at the notebook's display under bright ambient indoor lighting. Like previous generation models, the Pavilion comes with a matte display, which helps to reduce glare and reflections for viewing content.
For students who may not have a television in their dorm rooms, the Pavilion's optical drive can also serve as an entertainment machine to watch DVDs.Īs a multimedia device, I found the Pavilion's display to be bright. One reason for this is that the laptops have a built-in optical drive, something that many Ultrabook models are doing away with. HP says that the Pavilion series is not slim enough to meet Intel's specifications for Ultrabooks.
