日本HP Pavilion 15 (15-eg3000) review – offers good balance between comfort and battery life
Temperatures and comfort, Battery Life
Max CPU load
In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.

The optional Core i7-1355U inside this machine can maintain high CPU clocks in short loads and decent frequencies in medium and long loads. The temperatures are always in check. Overall, the results are good for such an inexpensive device.
Comfort during full load
What is more curious is that the fan isn’t noisy at all, even when the CPU is tortured with Cinebecnh R24 or Prime95. At the same time, the keyboard becomes a bit warm on the left but it’s not hot to the touch. We can conclude that the comfort under load is good.
Battery
Now, we conduct the battery tests with the Windows Better performance setting turned on, screen brightness adjusted to 120 nits and all other programs turned off except for the one we are testing the notebook with. This laptop comes with a 41Wh battery pack. It lasts for 8 hours and 20 minutes of Web browsing or 6 hours and 15 minutes of video playback. To achieve that, you have to apply the “Balanced” preset in the Windows “Power & Battery” menu and disable the “Fan always on” function in the BIOS.
In order to simulate real-life conditions, we used our own script for automatic web browsing through over 70 websites.
For every test like this, we use the same video in HD.
