HP Pavilion 15-cs0053cl (i5-8250U, HD) Laptop Review

Getting better. The Pavilion series has come a long way in terms of design and feel. This latest iteration is a major improvement, but still far inferior to the higher-end Envy and Spectre series.

The HP Pavilion is the manufacturer's low-end offering for users on tight budgets. There are new iterations almost every year often with features carried down from the higher-end Envy or Spectre families. Our unit today is a brand new design and possibly the best-looking one yet when compared to the overly plastic appearance of previous models.

The 2018 Pavilion 15 can be configured with a Core i5-8250U CPU, integrated UHD Graphics 620, and 768p display for under $600 or up to a Core i7-8550U, GeForce MX150 GPU, and 1080p display for $1150 USD. Our system for this review is the entry-level configuration. Competitors in this space are plentiful including the Acer Aspire 3 A315, Asus VivoBook 15 K570UD, Dell Inspiron 15, and Lenovo IdeaPad 720.

Case

The new design does away with the rounded edges and corners of previous Pavilion 15 notebooks in favor of a sharper and smoother look. The matte aluminum-like surfaces give a much classier impression that feels close to the Envy series. It's a good attempt at emulating what HP's more expensive laptops have to offer without necessarily using the same unibody materials. Many of the bright color options commonly associated with older Pavilion laptops, however, are nowhere to be found on this latest iteration.

As for rigidity, the system is quite strong around the base with no creaking and only minimal warping on the palm rests and keyboard. The lid is also stronger than before, though it's still susceptible to warping when pushing down its center. The weakest characteristic of the new design is indubitably its hinges. The display opens to a maximum of only 130 degrees and the bottom of the lid will lift the base at a slight angle that HP claims will improve cooling and typing posture. The main issue is that teetering is amplified and the hinges never feel very stiff as a result.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the new Pavilion 15 is thinner (17.8 mm vs. 22.5 mm) and lighter (1.8 kg vs. 2.1 kg) than the previous generation Pavilion 15t-au100. The narrow bezels contribute immensely to the improved portability of the system.

Connectivity

HP has dropped one USB Type-A port from the outgoing design in favor of one USB Type-C port. DisplayPort over USB is not supported here, but at least the full-size HDMI port remains. Port positioning is excellent as the ports are easy to reach and evenly distributed along the edges. We're disappointed that charging over USB Type-C is not supported as it would have made the proprietary AC adapter port obsolete.

SD Card Reader

The spring-loaded SD card reader is slow at just 38 MB/s with our Toshiba UHS-II test card. Transferring 1 GB worth of images from card to desktop takes almost 30 seconds. A fully inserted SD card will protrude by only a millimeter or so for safe transporting.

Communication

The RealTek adapter includes Bluetooth 4.2 and 802.11ac connectivity. Our test results, however, reveal it to be a slow 1x1 module with transfer rates at just half of what costlier Ultrabooks have the offer. The wireless connection is otherwise solid for browsing and streaming purposes.

Accessories

There are no included extras in the box other than the AC adapter, Quick Start guide, and warranty card.

Maintenance

Pavilion systems are traditionally difficult to service since the series is not aimed at enthusiasts and the new Pavilion 15 is no different. Removing the four Philips screws from the bottom does not appear to loosen the panel at all to suggest that there may be additional screws hidden underneath the rubber feet. Even then, a sharp edge will be required to detach the panel around the edges and corners.

It's a shame that serviceability is not quick and easy since users will find 2x DDR4 SODIMM slots and 2x storage bays inside.

Warranty

The standard one-year limited warranty applies with extensions of up to three years.

Input Devices

Keyboard

The backlit chiclet keyboard (~34 x 10 cm) extends almost the full length of the notebook because of the dedicated NumPad. The size of the NumPad keys are the same as the QWERTY keys whereas the NumPads on most other 15-inch notebooks are typically narrower and tighter.

Key feedback is noticeably softer than on the higher-end Spectre and Dell XPS notebooks. The Space key in particular is comparably louder and firmer for easier typing. Desktop typists will definitely need some time to become accustomed to the soft keys.

Interestingly, the Space key has no backlight. This is likely a cut corner that thankfully has no performance repercussions.

Touchpad

The trackpad is again extra wide (11.5 x 6 cm) to better match the 16:9 display. Glide is smooth, responsive, and very roomy due to the wide aspect ratio. Unfortunately, the integrated mouse keys are very soft in feedback with the right click in particular requiring more effort to press than the left. An external mouse is recommended whenever possible as using the trackpad can get tiresome very quickly.

Display

Subpixel array (100 PPI)
Subpixel array (100 PPI)

The 768p display is merely average with just a few redeeming qualities. There are minimal color grains, response times are fast, and black levels are reasonable for a cheap notebook, but color temperature is far too cool even from a subjective standpoint. Everything looks slightly blue and off-color as a result while videos are not as crisp due to the lower resolution. Pricier laptops, like the XPS 15, are significantly brighter and have deeper colors that pop.

A touchscreen panel is available as well, but this is not recommended due to the aforementioned teetering of the display and its relatively weak hinges.

* ... smaller is better

Color space is limited to just 587 percent of the sRGB standard. It's possible that the pricier 1080p SKUs may be capable of reproducing deeper colors. Either way, graphic artists will want to invest in the Spectre series instead where full sRGB coverage is promised.

Further measurements with a X-Rite spectrophotometer confirm our suspicion of an overly cool color temperature. This characteristic is very common amongst cheap laptops. Our calibration attempts significantly improve grayscale and colors across all saturation levels and we highly recommend an end-user calibration to get the most out of the display. If not, users can also simply apply our ICC profile above.

Display Response Times

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.
       Response Time Black to White
15.2 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 10 ms rise
↘ 5.2 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 31 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (21.6 ms).
       Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
43.6 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined↗ 20 ms rise
↘ 23.6 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers.
In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.2 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 69 % of all devices are better.
This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (33.9 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.
Screen flickering / PWM not detected

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 18110 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

Outdoor visibility is poor because of the narrow TN viewing angles, dim backlight, and inevitable glare from the glossy panel. The results are unsurprising subpar since this is a budget laptop after all.

Performance

Even though the Pavilion 15 is hundreds of Dollars cheaper than the popular XPS, Spectre, or Yoga families, it still carries the same Core i5-8250U and i7-8550U CPU options. Buyers can also choose between integrated UHD Graphics 620 or the discrete GeForce MX150. Light gamers may want to consider the latter option, though this route will certainly impact power consumption, battery life, temperature, and fan noise. Otherwise, web browsing, streaming, and light multimedia users will find the cheaper integrated GPU option sufficient.

Unlike most high-end Ultrabooks, the Pavilion 15 includes AMD Ryzen 5 2500U options.

Processor

The i5-8250U is about 50 to 60 percent faster than the last generation i5-7200U and i7-7600U while being 10 to 15 percent slower than the AMD Ryzen 2500U and 2700U. In our Pavilion, the processor is unable to maintain maximum Turbo Boost for extended periods as running CineBench R15 Multi-Thread in a loop results in a small 7 percent drop in score over time. Depending on how susceptible to throttling the Core i7-8550U will be, opting in for the costlier i7-8550U Pavilion 15 SKU may not net users any significant performance advantages.

See our dedicated Core i5-8250U page for more technical information and benchmark comparisons.

System Performance

PCMark benchmarks rank our HP just slightly above the Acer Aspire 3 A315 and almost precisely at the middle of all other Ultrabooks equipped with the same i5-8250U CPU and UHD Graphics 620 GPU. In other words, the system doesn't excel at any one aspect and it is merely average all around.

We experienced no software or hardware hiccups during our time with the test unit.

Storage Devices

Two internal storage bays are available in the form of M.2 NVMe and 2.5-inch SATA III. Intel Optane is supported via the M.2 slot. Our test unit is equipped with only a single 1 TB Toshiba MQ04ABF100 HDD.

Average transfer rate from the Toshiba drive is relatively fast for a 5400 RPM HDD at just over 110 MB/s according to HD Tune. In practice, however, performance is at least an order of magnitude slower than most Ultrabooks with primary SSDs. Avoid Pavilion 15 SKUs with a primary HDD since it will be difficult to upgrade.

See our comparison table of HDDs and SSDs for more benchmark comparisons.

GPU Performance

The UHD Graphics 620 in the Pavilion 15 offers almost no performance boost over the the last generation HD Graphics 620. When compared to the average UHD Graphics 620 in our database, the Pavilion is performing exactly where we expect it to be. Users who want the discrete GeForce MX150 option should see a near 200 percent boost in graphics power.

Gaming is not recommended on our Pavilion 15 configuration because the UHD Graphics 620 is not built to run the latest titles. Less demanding titles, such as most indie games, should run well on the native 768p screen.

See our dedicated page on the UHD Graphics 620 for more technical information and benchmark comparisons.

Stress Test

We stress the notebook with synthetic benchmarks to identify for any potential throttling or stability issues. When running Prime95, the CPU can be observed running stably at 2.3 GHz or 700 MHz above the base clock rate. Turbo Boost sustainability is thus very good on the system. Core temperature is relatively cool in the low-to-mid 60 C range when under extreme stress.

Emissions

System Noise

Ventilation grilles hidden along the rear edge
Ventilation grilles hidden along the rear edge

The system fan is always active no matter the onscreen load and so the notebook is never truly silent as a result. Even so, fan noise is very quiet when simply browsing or streaming and it's hardly noticeable under typical office or classroom environments. Fan noise under extreme stress is only 35 dB(A) to be quieter than most Ultrabooks under similar conditions. More powerful SKUs with the GeForce MX150 or Ryzen 2500U will likely have louder fans, higher temperatures, or both.

Our test unit suffers from no electronic noise or coil whine.

Maximum load. No exhaust from the edges of the notebook. Instead, heat is directed upwards towards the screen

Surface temperatures are flat when idling except on the right palm rest where the 2.5-inch SATA III bay is located. As shown by the temperature maps below, this quadrant can be about 5 degrees C warmer than the left palm rest when the drive is active. It's not enough to be uncomfortable, but the temperature difference will be noticeable when typing or web browsing.

Higher loads will cause the center of the keyboard to become as warm as 36 C while the bottom rear can be as warm as 41 C. The hot spots aren't all that different from the Envy x360 15 with the Ryzen 5 2500U SoC in terms of temperature.

The B&O stereo speakers are decent considering the cheap price of the Pavilion. Sound is balanced although lacking in bass as one would expect. Maximum volume is loud enough to fill a medium-sized room with no static or reverberations.

Idling on desktop demands about 5 W to 8 W depending on the brightness and profile setting to be slightly more efficient than some of its competitors as shown in the table below. The dimmer backlight of the display is partly responsible for the higher power efficiency of the HP notebook.

More demanding loads will draw just over 30 W not unlike on the Dell Inspiron 15 with the same i5-8250U CPU. Consumption during maximum load is lower than on medium load due to throttling.

We are able to record a maximum consumption of 45 W from the small (9 x 3.5 x 2.5 cm) 45 W AC adapter. Because of throttling, however, the system can only draw 45 W for a short few seconds before dropping to 32 W as shown by the image to the right. The behavior matches our CineBench loop test from above where scores are highest during the first loop before dropping and stabilizing thereafter.

Note that the higher-end Pavilion 15 SKU with the GeForce MX150 GPU ships with a more capable 65 W AC adapter instead.

Battery Life

Battery capacity is small at just 41 Wh compared to 48 Wh and 56 Wh on the Asus VivoBook 15 and Envy x360 15, respectively. Nonetheless, battery life is still respectable at just under 7 hours of non-stop WLAN use.

Charging from near empty to full capacity takes about two hours.

Verdict

In review: HP Pavilion 15-cs0053cl
In review: HP Pavilion 15-cs0053cl

A key detractor of previous Pavilion 15 laptops was the unattractive budget design language. A quick look at the old 2015 Pavilion 15 versus a MacBook Pro shows why the Pavilion can retail for less than half the price of the Apple. The visual disparity still exists between the new 2018 Pavilion 15 and the latest Apple, but it is nowhere near as bad as it used to be. To the target audience of students and younger users, the notable visual upgrade could make the Pavilion worth considering.

Internally, we're impressed by the Turbo Boost sustainability, low core temperatures, and generally quiet fan. These attributes aren't as common as we'd like especially on expensive Ultrabooks where cooling takes a backseat to thinness and weight.

The poorest aspects of the new Pavilion are its soft keyboard keys, soft trackpad keys, and teetering display. These drawbacks combine to make the Pavilion feel like a cheap laptop despite the new visual design.

In the low-end $600 to $700 range, the Pavilion 15 could be worth a look for users on tight budgets. Avoid the pricier SKUs at all cost since the Envy and Spectre laptops would be the better investments.
