HP Pavilion 15-cs0007NS

The HP Pavilion has always offered great laptops at low prices to those who prefer to own a decent budget laptop to spend a fortune on one. There are always new models every year which look almost identical to their predecessor but with better and more modern hardware configurations. And this year is no difference. The HP Pavilion 15-CS0007NS is the latest model in the series, and the budget laptop community may like what the new laptop has to offer. The new HP Pavilion 15-CS0007NS measures at 17.9 x 361.6 x 245.6 mm and weighs about 1.85 kilograms. Its near-lightweight size is indeed something that most mobile users will enjoy as it looks to be pretty easy to carry around. The HP Pavilion 15-CS0007NS is powered by the newest 4-core Intel Core i7-8550U. This latest 4-core CPU also comes with an 8 MB cache, and with the famed Turbo Boost technology. It has a 1.8 GHz base frequency and can run at a maximum speed of 4 GHz. Even though the HP Pavilion 15-CS0007NS is marketed as a mid-range laptop, users will also be able to run power-hungry software like video editing software on this laptop relatively well. It is also a pleasant surprise to see that the HP Pavilion 15-CS0007NS comes equipped with a graphics card, albeit just an entry-level card. The new laptop comes bundled with an Nvidia GeForce MX150 with dedicated 4 GB of DDR5 VRAM. The entry-level card will let the users enjoy low-spec games that may include older titles and also some newer indie games. Hewlett-Packard also included another nice surprise for users, and that is the 256 GB of SSD storage. While it is a little disappointing to see that a 1 TB HDD was not included to complement the SSD drive, the price point of the HP Pavilion 15-CS0007NS justifies the decision of excluding a conventional HDD. Those who would like to expand their storage may try to do so with the multi-format SD-card reader that is also included in the laptop. The laptop also comes with two 4 GB DDR4 RAM sticks with an option to upgrade it to a total of 16 GB. There are only two slots for the memory though, and the user will have to sacrifice at least one of the installed memory sticks if they choose to upgrade. A downside to the HP Pavilion 15-CS0007NS is its lack of ports for connectivity. There are two USB 3.1 Type A ports, one USB 3.1 Type C port, one HDMI output and as mentioned before, one SD card reader. It has an Ethernet port and as per the norm with modern laptops, a dual-band WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2 combo adapter. As mentioned, the HP Pavilion is a low to mid-range series of laptops, but it is nice to see that the HP Pavilion 15-CS0007NS has a good hardware specification for its price point. For those who do not need fancy extra features on their laptop, this will prove to be a great purchase. Hands-on article by Jagadisa Rajarathnam

HP Pavilion 15-cs1000ns

The HP Pavilion 15-cs1000ns is the latest mid-range gaming laptop from Hewlett Packard. It’s pretty hard to find a direct competition with a similar price point for this thin and lightweight 15.6-inch laptop that comes equipped with a GTX1050 graphics card, which is excellent news for Hewlett Packard. The slim laptop only measures at 18 x 361.6 x 241.6 mm and weighs about 1.9 kg. Hewlett Packard decided to equip the HP Pavilion 15-cs1000ns with an eight generation i5 - the Intel Core i5-8265U. This processor has 4 cores and 8 logical threads. It also has 6 MB of cache and has a frequency range between 1.6 GHz to 3.9 GHz in a single core, all thanks to Intel’s Turbo Boost technology. The performance of this processor is pretty much equivalent to the older i7-8550U processor. This new processor should be sufficient for those who are looking to do some medium-weight video and image processing. Professionals who are used to more powerful machines will probably notice the difference. As mentioned previously, to complement the Intel Core i5-8265U processor, the HP Pavilion 15-cs1000ns is also equipped with an Nvidia GTX 1050 graphics card with a built-in 2 GB GDDR5 VRAM. This graphics card will allow users to play most of the current AAA titles at medium settings smoothly. Those who prefer finer details may be able to stretch the settings up to high. The laptop also comes with a Full HD IPS anti-glare micro-edge WLED-backlit screen. The matte-finished panel has a pretty wide angle and very few reflections. There is also an HDMI 1.4 output that allows users to direct the video signal to an external TV or monitor. Instead of the usual 8 GB of RAM (or the bare minimum 4 GB), the laptop comes with 12 GB of RAM, something that most laptop users will definitely appreciate. As for storage, Hewlett Packard skips the usual hard disk drive and equips the HP Pavilion 15-cs1000ns with a 256 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD drive instead. This will help with improving the laptop’s performance significantly. The user may also increase the storage capacity by using the SD card port. Connectivity-wise, the HP Pavilion 15-cs1000ns is quite lacking with only a small number of ports available. It has one USB type-C port, two USB 3.0 ports, one HDMI port, one LAN port, and one audio/mic combo. It is worth noting that the USB type-C is only for data transfer and not made usable for charging. The laptop also comes with a dual band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5 combo. There is also a front camera, as is the norm, for video conferencing purposes. However, it is nothing to write home about. This thin and lightweight notebook may not be an all-powerful laptop, but it is indeed more than enough for users who need more performance than casual users.

Intel Kaby Lake Refresh:

i5-8250U: Kaby-Lake-Refresh based low power quad-core processor. The four cores are clocked between 1.6 and 3.4 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading. The integrated GPU is clocked between 300 and 1,100 MHz. The SoC is manufactured in a 14nm+ FinFET process.

i5-8550U: Kaby-Lake-Refresh based low power quad-core processor. The four cores are clocked between 1.8 and 4 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading. The integrated GPU is clocked between 300 and 1,150 MHz. The SoC is manufactured in a 14nm+ FinFET process.

Intel Core i5:

i5-8265U: Whiskey Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Kaby Lake but produced in a further improved 14nm++ process). The four cores are clocked between 1.6 and 3.9 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading.

Intel Core i7: The Intel Core i7 for laptops is based on the LG1156 Core i5/i7 CPU for desktops. The base clock speed of the CPUs is relatively low, but because of a huge Turbo mode, the cores can dynamically overclock to up to 3.2 GHz (920XM). Therefore, the CPU can be as fast as high clocked dual-core CPUs (using single threaded applications) but still offer the advantage of 4 cores. Because of the large TDP of 45 W / 55 W, the CPU is only intended for large laptops.  

i7-8565U: Whiskey Lake based low power quad-core processor (technically identical to Kaby Lake but produced in a further improved 14nm++ process). The four cores are clocked between 1.8 and 4.6 GHz (Turbo Boost) and support HyperThreading.

Intel Ice Lake:

i5-1035G1: A low-power, Ice Lake family processor (SoC) featuring 4 cores, 8 threads, 6 MB of L3 cache and the UHD G1 (32 EUs) iGPU. This Core i5 saw the light of day in H2 2019; it is designed for use in highly portable consumer laptops. The CPU cores run at 1.0 GHz to 3.6 GHz. The Sunny Cove microarchitecture that is in use here is notable for several improvements over Skylake including support for new technologies, new instruction sets and fast LPDDR4-3733 RAM. There is no PCIe 4 support here, however.

i7-1065G7: Ice Lake-based quad-core processor for thin and light laptops. The four cores are clocked at 1.3 GHz to 3.9 GHz and should offer 18% more IPC (instructions per clock) than the previous generations (and therefore partly close the clock speed gap). Produced on first-gen 10 nm Intel process.

79.29%: This rating is not earth-shattering. This rating must actually be seen as average, since there are about as many devices with worse ratings as better ones. A purchase recommendation can only be seen with a lot of goodwill, unless it is about websites that generally rate strictly.
