HP Pavilion 15 (15-eh0000) in-depth review

Traditionally, the Pavilion series are some of the best value notebooks HP produces. However, from time to time they produce some flops. We really hope that this year's device won't be. Now, there are two iterations that HP currently offers - the Pavilion 15 (15-eh0000), and the (15-eg0000) which we have today. They differ in the chipset they use, as the former is built on an AMD base, while the latter features the Tiger Lake chips from Intel.Now, this laptop should be a pretty decent catch for students, and people using their device for daily tasks, as sending mail, browsing the Web, and so on. However, it is no slouch, given the fact that the powerful Tiger Lake CPUs can be paired with up to a GeForce MX450. This will provide some gaming capability, and should keep the battery life [...]

Pros

  • Thin and light predominantly aluminum design
  • Tige Lake processors combined with decent low-voltage GPU solutions
  • 2x RAM SODIMM slots + 1x M.2 PCIe x4 slot

Cons

  • Uses aggressive PWM for brightness adjustment up to 80 nits (our Health-Guard profile fixes the issue) (NCP0040)
  • Poor color coverage (NCP0040)
  • The tiny battery won't be enough for intensive workloads

Disassembly, maintenance and upgrade options

In addition to receiving efficient and health-friendly profiles, by buying LaptopMedia's products you also support the development of our labs, where we test devices in order to produce the most objective reviews possible.

Office Work

Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors.

Design and Gaming

This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65.

Health-Guard

Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced.
