日本HP Pavilion 15 (15-eh3000) review – decent daily driver at a pleasant price
Today we will show you a laptop that is meant for home or office work and it doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. It’s called HP Pavilion 15 (15-eh3000) and it offers 15W AMD 7000 CPU options. These are the Barcelo-U Refresh Zen 3 chips, not the new Zen 4 iterations but still, their performance is more than enough for casual daily tasks or for editing MS documents (especially if you get the optional 8-core processor).
The device isn’t expensive and that’s why it’s not loaded with features but it has all the essentials for normal usage. Like a full-sized keyboard with a NumPad, a Web camera, decent port selection (for the price), as well as Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 for connectivity. Interestingly, the memory isn’t soldered which is good news for all users who are looking for a decent-priced notebook.
You can choose between six display models – two touchscreens and four non-touch units. We can spot two 768p and one 1080p TN panel so read the specs very carefully before buying. Our advice is to get one of the optional Full HD IPS screens that offer better viewing angles.
