Reviews for the HP Pavilion 17-ab000ng

Affordable, powerful, distant from its predecessor
Source: Laptop Media
The 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.
