Deal | HP 15 with 11th gen Core i7-1165G7 is only $589 USD right now to be one of the cheapest Tiger Lake laptops available
HP 15 for $589 USD is probably the cheapest laptop with the 11th gen Intel Core i7-1165G7 right now
HP's lowest-end laptops are getting better and better these days with Core i7 CPUs, 1080p IPS displays, 16 GB of RAM, Wi-Fi 6, and even NVMe SSDs much like their pricier Envy or Spectre counterparts.
Intel's latest Tiger Lake Core i7 processors launched first on pricier Ultrabooks like the Dell XPS 13 or Asus ZenBook 14 UX425E retailing for over $1000 USD each. Fortunately, it didn't take long for these same processors to appear on much cheaper laptop models to reach a wider range of buyers as shoppers with tight budgets can experience the same benefits of Intel's newest processor design.
The 15.6-inch HP 15-dy200 with the Core i7-1165G7 CPU is now on sale for $589 USD after applying the coupon code 'SMBHOL10'. Users must configure with 512 GB of PCIe NVMe storage, optional backlit keyboard, and Wi-Fi 6 in order for the coupon code to work.
The 2020 HP 15 utilizes the same chassis design as the 2018 model which we reviewed here. We were impressed by the metal chassis and overall system performance for such an inexpensive laptop, but the cheap keyboard, poor fan controls, and lack of Thunderbolt are otherwise indicative of a budget laptop model. For under $600, however, the processor and integrated graphics will certainly be tough to beat. For something classier, we recommend looking at the higher-end and slightly more expensive HP Envy series instead.

After graduating with a B.S. in environmental hydrodynamics from the University of California, I studied reactor physics to become licensed by the U.S. NRC to operate nuclear reactors. There's a striking level of appreciation you gain for everyday consumer electronics after working with modern nuclear reactivity systems astonishingly powered by computers from the 80s. When I'm not managing day-to-day activities and US review articles on Notebookcheck, you can catch me following the eSports scene and the latest gaming news.
