78% HP Pavilion Gaming 15 review: A cheaper route to a thrilling PC gaming experience
Source: CNet English Archive.org version
In the end, HP has put together a well-balanced, relatively thin laptop for gaming and office or schoolwork without the high price or flashy looks. If you're looking for more gaming-related features, though, there are plenty of gaming laptop options for less than $1,000 out there.

HP Pavilion Gaming Laptop review: Affordable gaming with a few caveats
Source: Good Gear Guide English Archive.org version
The Pavilion Gaming Laptop nevertheless punches well above its weight in the entry-level range. If you’re looking for a sub-$1,000 gaming laptop, HP’s built one every bit as sturdy and refined as its high-end counterparts—because at the core, they’re the same laptop. Branding is funny sometimes, eh?
