HP Pavilion Gaming 15 in Review: Cheap gaming laptop with good battery life

Picasso meets Pascal. The Pavilion Gaming 15's combination of CPU and GPU is able to display all current PC games smoothly on the 15.6-inch screen. On top of that, it comes with an NVMe SSD, 8 GB of RAM (dual-channel mode) and very good battery life. However, the display is disappointing.

The Pavilion Gaming 15 series contains 15.6-inch gaming laptops that offer good value for their price. Today's test device is powered by a Ryzen 5 3550H APU and a GeForce GTX 1050 GPU. With a price of ~$699, it is one of the cheapest models within the series. We are not unfamiliar with this laptop. With the HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec0017ng, we have already tested its physically identical sibling. Competitors include devices such as the Asus TUF FX505DY, Lenovo Ideapad L340-15IRH, Dell G3 3590, and the MSI GF63 Thin 9SC.

Case & Features - Pavilion Computer with A Plastic Chassis

HP has opted for a matte, black plastic chassis. Green elements (keyboard backlight, power LED, HP logo on the back) serve to accentuate the overall design. While there are no flaws in terms of the build quality, the case does not exactly shine in terms of rigidity, either. Both the base unit and the lid can be twisted too easily and too far. Furthermore, there is no maintenance hatch and the battery is fixed.

The laptop comes with two USB Type-A ports (1x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1) and one USB Type-C port (USB 3.2 Gen 1). The latter does not support DisplayPort via USB Type-C. Additionally, there is an HDMI port, a headset jack and a gigabit Ethernet port.

SD cards can be fully inserted into the card reader, which locks them in place. At 35.1 MB/s (transferring 250 jpg image files with around 5 MB each) and 37.2 MB/s (copying large data blocks), its transfer rates belong to the lower end of the spectrum. We test card readers with the help of our reference memory card (Toshiba Exceria Pro SDXC 64 GB UHS-II).

As for the Wi-Fi, the Realtek chip (RTL8822CE) supports the Wi-Fi standards 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac. The transfer speeds recorded under optimal conditions (no other Wi-Fi devices in proximity, small distance between the laptop and the server) are good.

Input Devices - Integrated Keyboard Backlight

The keys of the backlit (two steps) chiclet keyboard offer medium travel and a distinct actuation point. The keys could have been firmer, however. Although the keyboard area can become slightly warped while typing, this has not proven to be disruptive. Overall, HP has delivered a decent keyboard that is suitable for day-to-day use.

Meanwhile, the multi-touch enabled ClickPad has a surface area of around 11.4 x 5 cm (~4.5 x 2 inches). Its smooth surface offers good gliding properties. Furthermore, the touchpad is sensitive all the way to the edges. The key travel is shallow with a distinct actuation point.

Display - HP Pavilion with a Mediocre Model

The matte 15.6-inch display of the HP Gaming Pavilion has a native resolution of 1920x1080 pixels. Both the brightness (211.3 cd/m²) and the contrast ratio (575:1) are too low. We regard values above 300 cd/m² and 1000:1, respectively, as good.

The screen flickers with a frequency of 250 Hz at a brightness setting of 30 percent or lower. Due to the low frequency, sensitive users may experience headaches and/or eyestrain.

Display Response Times

ℹ

Display response times show how fast the screen is able to change from one color to the next. Slow response times can lead to afterimages and can cause moving objects to appear blurry (ghosting). Gamers of fast-paced 3D titles should pay special attention to fast response times.

↔ Response Time Black to White
15 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 11 ms rise
15 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 4 ms fall
The screen shows good response rates in our tests, but may be too slow for competitive gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.1 (minimum) to 240 (maximum) ms. » 28 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is better than the average of all tested devices (22.3 ms).
↔ Response Time 50% Grey to 80% Grey
44 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↗ 23 ms rise
44 ms ... rise ↗ and fall ↘ combined	↘ 21 ms fall
The screen shows slow response rates in our tests and will be unsatisfactory for gamers. In comparison, all tested devices range from 0.25 (minimum) to 636 (maximum) ms. » 68 % of all devices are better. This means that the measured response time is worse than the average of all tested devices (35.1 ms).

Screen Flickering / PWM (Pulse-Width Modulation)

ℹ

To dim the screen, some notebooks will simply cycle the backlight on and off in rapid succession - a method called Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) . This cycling frequency should ideally be undetectable to the human eye. If said frequency is too low, users with sensitive eyes may experience strain or headaches or even notice the flickering altogether.

Screen flickering / PWM detected

250 Hz

≤ 30 % brightness setting

The display backlight flickers at 250 Hz (Likely utilizing PWM) Flickering detected at a brightness setting of 30 % and below. There should be no flickering or PWM above this brightness setting.

The frequency of 250 Hz is relatively low, so sensitive users will likely notice flickering and experience eyestrain at the stated brightness setting and below.

In comparison: 53 % of all tested devices do not use PWM to dim the display. If PWM was detected, an average of 19035 (minimum: 5 - maximum: 3846000) Hz was measured.

The panel is lacking in terms of the color accuracy ex-factory. With a DeltaE-2000 color deviation of 8.22, it misses the mark (DeltaE of less than 3) by a substantial margin. Additionally, the display suffers from a noticeable blue tint. Lastly, it is unable to fully display both the AdobeRGB (39 percent) and the sRGB (62 percent) color space.

HP has equipped the Pavilion with a TN panel that offers narrow viewing angles. Thus, the display cannot be read from any position. Outdoors, the screen content is readable only when the sun does not shine too brightly.

Performance - Hardware of the Pavilion 15 Performs Well

With the Pavilion Gaming 15, HP has delivered a 15.6-inch gaming laptop with enough computing power to satisfy all common use cases as well as the requirements for playing all current PC games smoothly. Our test model can be purchased for ~$699. Other configurations are also available.

Processor

The HP gaming laptop is powered by a Ryzen 5 3550H (Picasso) APU from AMD. The CPU portion of the APU consists of a four-core processor with a base clock of 2.1 GHz. Via Turbo, the clock speed can be increased to up to 3.7 GHz. The processor supports simultaneous multithreading (processing two threads per core).

During the Cinebench CPU benchmark tests, the CPU runs at 3.7 GHz (multi-thread) and 1.7 to 3.7 GHz (single-thread). In battery mode, the initial CPU frequency is 2.4 GHz. Subsequently, the clock speed increases to the 3.1 to 3.2 GHz range. A clock speed of between 1.4 and 2.4 GHz can be observed during the single-thread tests.

By running Cinebench R15's multi-thread test in a loop for at least 30 minutes, we determine whether the CPU turbo is permanently active while on mains. By the 8th loop, the scores drop slightly and remain consistent afterwards. During this, the CPU turbo is active.

Storage Solution

An Intel NVMe SSD (M.2 2280) with a capacity of 512 GB serves as the system drive. While its transfer rates are good, it is not a top-end SSD. On the inside of the laptop, there is space for an additional 2.5-inch drive. The required SATA connector and the mounting frame are included.

The SATA bay is occupied by a dummy drive

GPU Performance

The dedicated GeForce-GTX-1050 GPU (mid-range; Pascal) has a core clock of 1366 MHz (base) to 1442 MHz (boost). Assuming the GPU does not cross a predefined temperature and/or energy consumption threshold, even higher speeds are possible. During our The Witcher 3 test, the clock speed reaches 1718 MHz on average. The maximum recorded clock speed was 1774 MHz. The GPU has access to fast GDDR5 video memory (3.072 GB).

The 3DMark benchmark results match our expectations for this particular GPU. In battery mode, the graphics performance drops by about 50 percent.

The integrated Vega 8 GPU inside the APU is active and the laptop uses Nvidia's graphics switching technology Optimus.

Gaming Performance

The laptop displays all the games in our database smoothly on its screen. In most cases, choosing the Full HD resolution and medium to high quality settings is possible. Many recent, demanding AAA titles require users to reduce the resolution and/or quality settings in order for the frame rates to remain sufficiently high.
