HP Pavilion 15-n005sg Pro Reviews

The Pavilion provides a good application performance and pleases with its low power consumption. The laptop can translate the latter into appealing battery runtimes. It also always works quite quietly and its slim appearance is appealing. The somewhat dark screen with a bluish cast and poor viewing angles are points of criticism. The one-year warranty is actually also no longer contemporary for a 500 Euro (~$672) laptop. The Pavilion additionally suffers from an HP-typical affliction that we see more and more often in consumer laptops from the company: a Fast Ethernet port. This may be secondary for many buyers, but Gigabit Ethernet is today's standard - even in the budget sector. The Aspire E1-572 is suitable for all users who are interested in a matte screen and/or a Full HD resolution. Lenovo's G505s does not really have any advantages in comparison with the Pavilion. The laptop only achieves smooth frame rates in a few games despite its dual-graphics solution. Users who do not need a dual-graphics or a Windows operating system, and are also satisfied with another APU (A8-4500M) can find the G505s for prices starting at 349 Euros (~$469). We do not want to leave the latest Aldi laptop unmentioned as another alternative to the Pavilion. The Touch 300/Akoya S6212T (Core i3-4010U, HD Graphics 4400) is on the same price level as the Pavilion but has more to offer. For example, it achieves even better battery runtimes, includes a three-year warranty, features a modular bay (for an additional battery, a second hard drive or a DVD drive) and a touchscreen that can be rotated by 300 degrees.
