This entire review assumes that you can get the Pavilion Laptop 16 at a sale price, such as when this review is written at $650. It’s fast enough for most productivity users, and it’s built well enough. But its battery life isn’t great and its display just isn’t colorful enough to spend a lot more money. But, if you need a large laptop and don’t have a lot of money, then the Pavilion Laptop 16 is well worth considering. You’ll get a laptop that’s reasonably pleasant to use and won’t break the bank. But make sure to wait for a sale, because the laptop won’t be worth it at list price.

The HP Pavilion Laptop 16 espouses the kind of big visuals and full-sized keyboard access you might find in a desktop replacement gaming laptop yet it’s as portable as an ultrabook. It also features jack-of-all-trades performance that’s just as useful for leisure as it is for a spot of work. The Pavilion Laptop 16 can also be used for lightweight gaming where you’re best-off sticking to playing less graphically demanding titles. Indeed, if you’re looking for an affordable do-it-all with a relaxed feel, then the HP Pavilion Laptop 16 is a great choice.

There’s no need to break the bank to enjoy comfort, quality, and some fun features like AI functionality and touchscreen capabilities. The best products are the ones where you feel like you can really see where your money is going – and even better when you feel like you’re getting more than you pay for. For your next laptop upgrade for an all-round performer, look no further than the Pavilion 16. The HP Pavilion 16 might be lightweight but its capabilities are anything but flimsy. The added features are impressive enough to warrant boosting your specs and, with a sturdy chassis and strong battery life, you can use it for (almost) anything, anywhere.

16.00:
This range for display formats was and is a rarity. It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.

78.76%: 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.
