Bargain-buy quad-core. A well-rounded notebook for under 600 Euros (~$815) - that's what the Pavilion 17 offers. A quad-core processor and a dual graphics card supposedly ensure optimal performance. Our review reveals whether this setup really does its job.

Archive.org versionThe overall design and build quality is a little clunky but still feels pretty refreshing compared to last year’s model. However, we didn’t notice any major inconsistencies, gaps or flaws. The only thing that we would really like to be changed in the next version is the inconsistent and stiff touchpad. And probably lower the weight and height of the chassis. Anything other than that is just fine for a 17-incher starting at around $700-800.

HP Pavilion 17-ab004ns
The HP Pavilion 17 is an interesting laptop to look out for as it serves well as a multimedia laptop or a gaming laptop. What lies beneath its hood is the highly popular Intel Core i7-6700HQ, which is of the high-end Skylake series. It consists of 4 cores (up to 8 threads thanks to Hyperthreading), 6 MB of cache memory. Its clock rate ranges from nominal 2.6 GHz to 3.1 GHz in 4 cores, 3.3 GHz in 2 cores or 3.5 GHz in one core thanks to TurboBoost technology. With this processor, performing demanding tasks, such as video editing or 3D rendering is a breeze. The graphics used is the Nvidia GTX 960M with 2 GB of GDDR5 memory, the entry model of Nvidia to the high-end range of current laptop graphics. In addition, it features 12 GB of DDR4 RAM occupying both motherboard sockets. The dedicated DDR5 GTX 960M GPU makes this laptop idyllic for entry level gaming. It is fitted with a matte 17.3-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1.920 x 1.080 pixels. Visuals of demanding games with intensive graphics appear good, but is still not as impressive as some gaming laptops. Furthermore, the PWM flicker free panel is great for the eyes. By enabling the Nvidia Optimus technology, heat is greatly reduced and battery life is increased when the dedicated graphics card is not used. Storage wise, it comes with a 2 TB 5400 RPM SATA hard drive as well as a 128 GB M2 SSD. Connectivity options on this laptop (which appears limited compared to its rivals) include two USB 3.0 ports, one USB 2.0 port, one Gigabit network port and a wireless receiver Wifi AC Dual Band with Bluetooth 4.2. It would have made a remarkable gaming rig if it came with integrated with G-Sync, Macro keys, USB Type-C, DisplayPort, NVMe, or a Thunderbolt 3 port. But that clearly isn't what HP is aiming for. The Pavilion 17 is meant to be a powerful working laptop. It will perform graphic simulations and similar things well. Its weight is pretty light at 2.85 kg considering that its build is largely plastic. It comes with a full-size island-style backlit keyboards and a touchpad with multi-touch gesture support. Sound quality is beyond average as it is equipped with powerful speakers from Bang & Olufsen. It is also mounted with an optical drive. With its dimensions measuring at 41.6 x 27.9 x 2.99 cm, it maintains a profile sufficiently versatile for ease of carrying about. Battery life is reasonable as it comes with a 6-cell, 62 Wh Li-ion battery. The Pavilion 17 may be lacking certain high-end features, yet it remains a powerful laptop with top-notch specs.

Archive.org versionHowever there are also some reasons to doubt the Pavilion’s continuing popularity: firstly, it’s now possible to buy Chromebooks equipped with Full HD screens for half the money that the HP Pavilion costs. And there are some things about the Pavilion line-up that remain stuck in the early years of the 21st Century: limited battery life and a lack of configuration options on some models among them.

Comment
HP: Founded in 1939, the US company is a major server and printer manufacturer and one of the leading IT companies in the world. Until 2015, the company was called Hewlett-Packard Company. After a split, the computer division was renamed HP Inc.
In 2023, HP had an approximate market share of 22% of global PC sales, making it number 2 after Lenovo.
Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.
AMD Radeon HD 8650G + HD 8670M Dual Graphics: Dual Graphics (asymmetrical CrossFire) combination of a dedicated Radeon HD 8670M and a 8650G processor graphics card (in the processor core of the A-Series). Only in some cases faster than one GPU alone and furthermore it sometimes suffers from micro stuttering.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M: Upper mid-range graphics card of the GeForce GTX 900M series.
NVIDIA GeForce 940M: Mid-range graphics card of the GeForce 900M series, based on the Maxwell architecture.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Mobile: Mainstream graphics card based on Nvidia's Pascal architecture and successor to the GeForce GTX 960M. Is manufactured in a 14nm process at Samsung and the technical specifications are very similar to the desktop version.
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 Ti Mobile: Mainstream graphics card based on Nvidia's Pascal architecture and successor to the GeForce GTX 965M. Is manufactured in a 14nm process at Samsung and the technical specifications are very similar to the desktop version.
Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.
Intel HD Graphics (Braswell): Integrated graphics card in the Intel Braswell series (Celeron and Pentium) processors. Based on the Broadwell architecture (Intel Gen8) supporting DirectX 11.2. Depending on the processor offers 12 or 16 shader cores (EU) and different clock speed.
» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.
AMD AMD A-Series:
A10-5750M: Quad-core processor with only two FPUs and an integrated Radeon HD 8650G graphics card. Top model of the A10 series.
Intel Pentium:
N3700: Notebook CPU with an integrated quad core Atom processor clocked at 1.6 - 2.4 GHz, an Intel HD Graphics GPU and a dual channel DDR3L-1600 memory controller.

6300HQ: Skylake-based quad-core processor for notebooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 530 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.
6200U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.
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.
6700HQ: Skylake-based quad-core processor for notebooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 530 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.
Intel Kaby Lake:
i7-7700HQ: Quad-core notebook processor based on the Kaby Lake architecture. Besides four CPU cores (including Hyper Threading), the chips also integrates the HD Graphics 630 GPU and is manufactured in an improved 14 nm process.
i5-7300HQ: Quad-core notebook processor based on the Kaby Lake architecture running at 2.5 - 3.5 GHz without Hyper Threading (which is supported by the faster i7 CPUs). The chip also integrates the HD Graphics 630 GPU clocked at 350 - 1000 MHz and is manufactured in a 14 nm process (improved compared to Skylake).
Intel Coffee Lake:
i7-8750H: On Coffee Lake architecture based processor for big and heavy laptops. Integrates six processor cores clocked at 2.2 - 4.1 GHz (4 GHz with 4 cores, 3.9 GHz with 6 cores) that support HyperThreading. Manufactured in an improved 14nm process (14nm++).

2.8 kg:
With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
3.1 kg:
A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.
78.14%: 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.
