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.

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.

AMD Radeon HD 8670M: Lower mid-range graphics card based on the GCN architecture.

AMD Radeon R7 M260: Mid-range graphics card based on the GCN architecture.

NVIDIA GeForce 830M:

Mid-range graphics card from the GeForce 800M series based on the Maxwell architecture.

AMD Radeon R6 (Carrizo): Integrated graphics card in the Carrizo APUs from AMD. Based on the 3rd generation GCN architecture with 384 of the 512 shader cores. The performance depends on the configured TDP of the chip (ranging from 12 to 35 Watt).

AMD Radeon R8 M365DX: Dual-graphics combination of an integrated Radeon R6 (Carrizo A10-8700P) and dedicated Radeon R7 M360. As a hybrid Crossfire solution, performance will depend heavily on driver support for the game. Performance may be faster on a single R7 M360 if driver support is poor.

NVIDIA GeForce 940M: Mid-range graphics card of the GeForce 900M series, based on the Maxwell architecture.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960M: Upper mid-range graphics card of the GeForce GTX 900M series.

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.

AMD Radeon R5 (Beema/Carrizo-L): Integrated graphics card in several AMD APUs (Beema and Carrizo-L).

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.

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.

A8-6410: Quad-core APU for entry-level devices and sub-notebooks, codenamed Beema. Based on the Puma+ architecture and integrates a Radeon R5 GPU.

A10-5745M: Low-voltage quad-core processor with only two FPUs and an integrated Radeon HD 8610G graphics card.

Intel Core i5:

4200M: Haswell-based dual-core processor clocked at 2.5 GHz with Turbo Boost support up to 3.1 GHz. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 4600 GPU and a dual channel DDR3 memory controller.

5200U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

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.

AMD Carrizo:

A10-8700P: Mid-range Carrizo APU of 2015 containing two "Excavator" CPU modules (with 4 integer and 2 FP cores counted as 4 compute cores). Performance can differ greatly depending on the configured TDP (ranging from 12 to 35 Watts).

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.  

5500U: Broadwell-based ULV (ultra low voltage) dual-core processor for notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 5500 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

6500U: Skylake-based ULV dual-core processor for thin notebooks and ultrabooks. Offers an integrated HD Graphics 520 GPU and is manufactured in 14 nm.

2.64 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.

---

77.62%: 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.
