HP Pavilion Laptop (2022 Model), 15.6″ HD Display, Intel Celeron Quad-Core Processor, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 128GB SSD, Online Conferencing, Webcam, HDMI, WiFi, Bluetooth, Windows 11

This is the 2nd HP all-in-one computer I have had and I love it. Sure hated to replace the first one, which I had for 8 years, updating over the years, from Windows 8 to Windows 10 with no problems. Until the last time when windows updated and I lost audio. There was no HP audio drive to fix the problem. Which is strange because this one has audio that works just fine. Love that I don’t have to worry about cables all over the place. This one has a tilt screen so I can adjust it when I’m on zoom instead of having to sit on a pillow. The camera is good and I like the way it hides in the back when I’m not using it. There’s a goofy little tag on the lower right side; the brand name of the sound, but I can live with it. Right after I got it, I called customer support at Amazon for a minor question and they responded quickly and were very helpful

Super nice Desktop PC. Got it to replace my wife’s 15 year old PC which can’t be upgraded in Windows anymore.Love the 512 GB PCIe® NVMe™ M.2 SSD Hard Drive. Don’t need any more hard drive for our needs.Upgrades are easy. Plan to add more RAM (came with 8GB and will take 32GB) and upgrade the WiFI 5 to Wi-Fi 6 with an Intel Desktop Wireless M.2 card. This will speed up the Bluetooth also. Not that the WiFi 5 is inadequate but the Wi-Fi 6 is the way to go.Graphics are pretty good but I was thinking of installing a low profile 1030 graphics card which would make it even better.I’m talking so upgrades but this is a great machine for the price. Intel i3 is underrated. Wonderful processor for everyday usage.Very Happy with it. HP has some pretty advanced ways to upgrade the bios and Drivers. You can connect to their support page and it analyzes for updates. Have it connected to a nice LG monitor. Light weight too. I wouldn’t call it a gaming machine. It’s not that fast but fast enough for surfing The web or watching Amazon Prime or HBO Max.I think it was a smart buy. For my wife’s needs this is perfect and didn’t cost thousands.

I ordered this computer when it was $600 on March 17th. Given the INSANE prices for graphics cards right now (the GTX 1650 SUPER this thing includes isn’t available anywhere for less than $400 right now), I knew I needed to snap one of these up as soon as my $1,400 stimulus payment hit. I figured they’d be sold out soon, and (at least for the $600 price) they did sell out within 24 hours of me buying.It has the traditional drawbacks of any big name brand prebuilt PC. It has a proprietary PSU. This means you can’t easily upgrade it to power much stronger (but much higher power consumption) video cards in the future. But, I knew this going in.This was simply the best way for me to get a good computer with a solid CPU and GPU for a low price right now. I read that the HP motherboard keeps the RAM at 2667mhz speed, so I bought another stick of 2667mhz RAM to bring it up to 16gb.I also moved two internal hard drives from my old computer over to this PC. Between this and the added RAM, the two biggest shortcomings out of the box (short on memory and storage) are now handled. I don’t anticipate having to open this computer for any reason over the next couple of years. If I do ever upgrade the GPU, I realize I’ll be limited to a mid-level GPU because of the power supply. If there’s something that’s a good performance jump over the 1650 Super that doesn’t use much more power, I could see upgrading to that in a year or two. Otherwise, I’m quite happy with this PC, and it should see to all my needs for the immediate future.SIDE NOTE: The case for this thing is SMALL. My old PC was one I built, and it has a mid-tower case. This HP Pavilion must use some kind of micro-tower case or whatever the proper terminology is. Getting my fat fingers between what I’m guessing is the hard drive cage and the motherboard to add the extra stick of RAM wasn’t easy, but I got it done. It’s not really made for working on and expanding both because of the small case and the proprietary PSU. That’s OK though. Like I said, this should meet my needs for the next year or two, and by then, hopefully, GPU prices won’t be insane anymore, and I’ll be able to build something that packs a little more of a punch (and do it in a mid-tower case – I never appreciated how spacious they were before).ALSO: This thing was a REAL DEAL given nutso part prices right now. Think about it; the CPU goes for about $125, the GPU for $400 and up and add in the value of the 8gb stick of RAM and the 256gb SSD and you’re already at or over the $600 I paid. It’s like I got the case, motherboard and PSU for free, which kinda makes it OK that the case is cramped and the PSU is proprietary.

Product was NOT as avertised. It was advertised to have Windows10, but the PC that was sent hasWindows !!. It works, but it is not as advertised

Ease of set-up.

I needed a new computer for my home office and laptop computer screens are just too small.This is perfect in design and size. Because I use a usb headset and a usb 2nd monitor, I only have one port extra to use for flash drive etc.I know I can always add additional ports if I need to.I’m very happy to have 16 gig Ram and it runs great!Great product for a great price!

WiFi works great considering the router and TV are at opposite ends of the house.

So i really like the pavilion, I’ve had it for almost three months now, and a lot of the claims they make about how this pc handles games is true, i’ve played apex, Warzone, GTA and Fortnite on high settings at some good frame-rates, but one small issue with the pc is the ram and storage. You could have maybe one or two large games and a few small applications, and you’re already out of storage space. Mine came with 250 (ish) GBs and with Discord, Spotify, Firefox and GTA 5 downloaded, i really don’t have enough space to download anything else. Another thing, RAM. This only comes with 16 GBs, and while the PC can handle large games, if you put too much on the Ram, you’ll begin to have visible glitches on the top of your screen, But despite these issues, i still recommend the PC. Both of these issues are easily fixable, just buy ram sticks that are still good for your power supply, and maybe buy an SSD or stick drive for extra games you may need, overall shouldn’t be more then 120$ bucks on top of the 600$ (the price i got it for) pc, and for that price, its a damn good PC.

I’ve had this computer for a couple of weeks now. I paid about $1000 including tax (CA). Not a lot of computer makers offer a Ryzen 7-5700U, yet. With 32MB of RAM and 1TB SSD it’s almost a steal.It doesn’t offer frills like folding back the display, touch screen, or lighted keys. But what I would have liked is Windows 11 Professional instead of Home and School.I made it dual boot, and installed openSUSE Leap 15.3 next to Windows. The dual boot works fine. However, I haven’t been successful yet getting the Ryzen to work at full resolution. That’s not HP’s fault, but rather AMD which doesn’t provide its Radeon drivers as public domain.Overall, so far I’m happy with this computer. I hope it will last a long time.

I bought this HP computer on sale $430.00 a few months ago and it continues to work great. It has the intel quad core i3, 512 GB SSD hard drive, 8GB ram and a disc player. I popped a DVD movie into the player, and it plays well, music CD’s also work. The 8GB ram has decent speed but I decided to upgrade the ram. It has 2 ram card slots, so I first removed the 8GB ram card and installed a 16GB ram card I bought at Amazon online and it works well, so I decided to get a second 16GB ram card that I installed and now it has 32GB ram and it works GREAT. You can only install up to 32GB ram on this computer. If you want, you can also install a second or third internal hard drive HDD or SSD. I decided to install only a second internal HDD hard drive. The computer includes a mounting bracket and the wires, so all you need is a hard drive. If you want to install a third internal hard drive, you will need a mounting bracket and wires. I was able to find a WD 2TB HDD internal hard drive on sale $45. I saw a video on YouTube on how to install and activate the hard drive and it was easy to install and activate it. I store home videos, pictures, music, and other stuff on the 2TB HDD hard drive and so far, it’s working well. I have been using the computer for surfing the web, email, Facebook, YouTube, and other stuff. The Microsoft online store shows that some games are compatible with this computer, I haven’t tried any yet. It also has a line in for sound recording, headphone jack and plenty of USB ports.

So the first thing I noticed was that when starting up it showed last updated June 2021. There is no Serial # sticker on the unit either. Its been updating very slowly. I am questioning my purchase. Will update once I delve deeper.

You cannot scratch build this machine for what I paid. Only thing lacking is a gaming video card. That can wait until prices get even more reasonable.

new bought product

Nothing against the seller at all. Item came promptly and no damages what so ever. However, the computer itself is quite mediocre. I’m somewhat convinced that the lack of speed is due to the fact that the ryzen 3 processor can’t handle the operating system. Even with all the initial updates I’m still noticing way slower start up time as well as programs loading way slower compared to my laptop. Will probably pay more next time for higher processor count.

Liked the no glare and lighted keyboard features.

Not crazy about Windows 11 as l absolutely am not allowed to skip having a pin to log on everytime I start the computer, but that has nothing to do with HP. The computer itself is quiet and so far everything is working as I expect it to. Do wish Windows would stop trying to secure my device for me though.

I bought this stupidly cause of what I read. I was never a PC gamer. I kinda got talked into being one… Kinda. But I had to get a new power supply, but it needed to be an HP one. As far as I know I had the choice of 400 and 500 watt ones they make. The only one I could find was a 400 watt one. (Also I’m sure there’s a converter somewhere in the world, but the HP ones fit the case) So with that, and on top of that I had to buy a graphics card. Which I chose an rtx 2060. With those both installed now. The PC runs how I wanted when I ordered it. VR works now, the games run at least at 57 FPS at 1080. That was the lowest it ran and that was Doom eternal. Halo infinite was in the 100s for frames. So 1080p gaming works just fine.Its decently fast at starting, I have no complaints at the moment. It would have been 5 stars if it all worked without the upgrading. But good to know for next time, just man up and build my own.

Works well but buyer should invest in more storage

Great PC. wasn’t very happy with how it was just sliding around in the box and no bubble wrap or anything to keep it in place. but it works great for everything i need. definitely needs a ram upgrade. i went from 8gb to 16gb ram and saw a great difference. able to get 100-120 fps in call of duty. rocket league does well over 200fps as well as valorant. great starting pc overall. and it is upgradable which is why i plan on doing.

took a little while to get thru the startup but once thru that and looking at all the apps was able to start making good use.

Excelente la maquina es rapida y era lo que esperaba, con respecto a las teclas si la configuras para Mexico aunque no tenga la letra Ñ esta se puede escribir ya que el teclado lo configuras, el color es bonito y la parte superior es de aluminio los colores en pantalla son buenos si eres estudiante es justo lo que necesitas

My son loves this tower, we have had no problem with it as of yet.

Had originally bought a Lenovo & that was a huge mistake. Returned and bought an HP that has been perfect out of the box. The seller, Oydisen Electronics, shipped fast & I had no problems at all setting up. It is exactly what i ordered & expected!

Very fast laptop. I’m very happy with my purchase. Would highly recommend this laptop.

Loved it, good price, very capable and great screen resolution

I like it

My laptop mother board died so I had to decide between another laptop or a desk top. Went with a desktop purchase on Amazon wasn’t able to find what I wanted elsewhere. Technical documentation from HP is lacking, was kind of disappointed other wise have been happy with this purchase thus far. New system is very fast, happy with windows 11 which was loaded.

Very Happy with the purchase. HP is always my go to. Runs well

Dislike that it was not touch screen or finger print compatible

I really love my laptop nothing negative to say!!

This Windows 11 seems to perform well in all respects. I especially like the faster reboot and that I did not have to get a third party graphics card to handle the processing stress with my Cyberlink photo and video processing as before. Love it! Windows 11 takes a little time to get used to. For example, I miss being able to quickly access the Control Panel in the Start menu, but that may be my lack of education to do the same with Win 11.

There isn’t one thing that I dislike about this laptop. It’s great.

Everything works great and got at a good price.

What we need at a good price point.

Everything is great, only the color of the keyboard is a little uncomfortable.

i do audio work for video games: creating sfx in a daw(digital audio workstation) and or composing midi mockup scores using kontakt and a ton of heavy ram use orchestral sample library. the 32g ram on this and the 1tb ssd is a HUGE boon for audio work! i use both ableton and reaper daw. they load super snappy. my kontakt heavy projects load ultra fast now (versus the pc tower i was using, which was still quite powerful).the laptop runs fairly quiet even at heavier cpu loads. i composed a piece of music for a game of thrones video game which ran about 60-70% cpu on my other, fastest computer(the pc tower). this hp laptop, it clocks in at a cool 50%. so ive been able to have tons of cpu intense plugins (such as ozone8 or reaktor) running in the daw projects no problem. i was able to turn the cpu down to 0% in the windows power management panel and set the cooling to passive- which causes the laptop to run slower, but basically run silent because less heat generation. which is perfect when i need to record foley or my own voice for use with creatures in the games. i can then turn the cpu back up to full speed when composing or integrating the sound and music into the games.the graphics card on this isnt 100% the best but im still able to run unity and hook up sounds into 3d games that way without any lag via a 2k screen. really this isnt a gaming pc (only due to the level/integration of its graphics card) like you might not be able to easily run the latest greatest fps at full settings and stream on twitch at the same time without some drop in frame rate(but who knows maybe u can? i didnt test this fully), but im confident you could still run just about any game regardless (w tweaked setting most likely).just as a test i loaded up one of my all time fav games: skyrim, and one of the heftier mods and it seemed to run amazingly well in 2k (with all the game’s graphics settings turned up). i havent tried video capturing a game like that but with the right settings in obs i think it could work fine (probably no more than 60fps id imagine).i do do a lot of video capturing for my job: getting animations and vfx clips to bring into the daw to make sound effects with and so far this laptop does not even blink w those basic vid cap tasks.i also do photography and video editing on the side for my own projects. photoshop runs like a total breeze on this! ive never had a smoother photoshop experience, personally. after effects is fast to edit/splice preview etc but some of the render times (especially when using twixtor) still take time. a 20 minute time stretched(200% vector blend) 2k video with color correction and film grain layers added took about 2+hr to render. so obvs not the best laptop out there for major video effects work but i think still totally doable and capable for those working more in the premiere type video editing layout arena.my only complaint is that the laptop feels cheapo plastic (this is my first non mac in a while so theres that) so for work-traveling(which is why i ultimately got this) i think ill need to get a good solid case and just treat this like a newborn baby during its life span.with the crazy power of this thing, given the requirements of my audio/photoshop work, i think this will be a super solid computer for me for the next 10years at least. and for $800 what a crazy steal!

Good Laptop.. Not fancy

I’ve only had this for a week so this is very preliminary. But observations so far …Boots very fast, much faster than my old laptop (which is about 5 years old now). Works beautifully with my external monitor, just plugged it in with an HDMI cable and it worked. Works beautifully with an external drive. Again, just plugged it in and it worked. I got the 1 TB drive which is a ridiculous amount of space. I ported everything from my old computer — which is over 20 years worth of accumulated data, ported from computer to computer — installed a bunch of software, and it all came to 103 GB. Also connected to my home wifi network no problem, and I installed my printer driver and that’s worked first time no problem.It comes defaulting to the Documents folder being under OneDrive, which I found a super pain. I have way more data than the free 5 GB and I don’t intend to pay for more, I’d rather just back up to an external drive myself. Maybe this will prove foolish if the drive fails and I’ve neglected backups — we’ll see. But I’m getting slews of error message about exceeding my 5 GB, I’ve got to figure out how to turn that off. The setup process also forced me to create an account with Microsoft which, well, why?It only has 2 USB ports, which I find limiting. I routinely plug in a trackball, which leaves me just one port. I wanted to copy some data from an external hard drive to a USB stick, and … I was out of ports. I bought a USB hub, and that’s the one device that seems to have trouble playing nice with this HP. I don’t know if that’s the fault of the hub, the laptop, or me doing something stupid.Minor quible: The page up/down keys are far away from the cursor control keys, which I find awkward.
