日本HP Pavilion 15 (15-eg3000) review – offers good balance between comfort and battery life
Design and construction
The laptop is almost a carbon copy of the HP Pavilion 15 (15-eh3000). This means a clean design, one rounded “HP” logo on the lid, and a mix of plastic and metal for the build. The dimensions are looking good. The notebook stops the scales at 1.7 kg and has a profile thickness of 18 mm. The portability is on point for a 15.6-inch machine.
You can’t open the lid with one hand. It also can be flexed with ease and we saw some color shifting on the panel when we twisted the unit. The whole keyboard deck flexes a bit during harsh typing. The zone below the board is slightly spongy if you apply some pressure on it.
On the bright side, the bezels around the display are narrow. The upper one is the home of a 720p Web camera with temporal noise reduction. Yep, no privacy shutter here.
The lid acts as a lever and its lower side lifts the back of the chassis when the angle of the opening is wider than 90 degrees. The keyboard has an optional backlight and a NumPad which can be handy for some of you. The board is comfortable for typing, the key travel isn’t something unseen but the feedback is clicky.
The touchpad quality is fine for normal work. Expectedly, the smoothness and the accuracy of the unit are average at best but that’s okay given the price class.
The bottom plate is business as usual – two long rubber feet, two speaker cutouts, and a ventilation grill. The heat is being exhausted through a vent on the back that is positioned towards the hinge mechanism. Part of the heat reaches the display when the CPU is heavily loaded.
Ports
On the left, we can see an HDMI 2.1, a USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) port with charging capabilities, a USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) port (with USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort 1.4, and HP Sleep & Charge functions), and an Audio combo jack. On the right, you can spot the power plug, a USB Type-A 3.2 (Gen. 1) port that supports charging, and a security lock slot
