HP Pavilion Gaming 15 in Review: HP's 15.6-inch laptop combines gaming prowess and stamina
The HP Pavilion Gaming 15 displays all current games smoothly on its matte 15.6-inch screen (FHD, IPS). The memory configuration is good as well: 16 GB of RAM (dual-channel mode), NVMe SSD, HDD.

The Pavilion Gaming 15 series includes 15.6-inch gaming laptops with midrange graphics chips. The series sits below the HP Omen series. Nvidia's GeForce RTX GPUs are exclusive to the latter, however. Our test device is powered by a Ryzen 7 3750H APU and a GeForce GTX 1660 Ti Max-Q GPU.

The performance of the hardware matches our expectations: All of the games in our database run smoothly. Usually, Full-HD resolution and medium to high settings can be chosen.

Surprisingly, the battery life is very good. The Pavilion lasts much longer than most office laptops. However, the gaming laptop lacks a Thunderbolt 3 port. HP also only grants users a warranty period of one-year.

More information and measurements can be found in our review of the HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec0017ng.
