HP has unveiled two impressive additions to its laptop lineup, the Pavilion Plus 14 and 16. These sleek machines combine striking designs with powerful performance, offering users a range of options to meet their computing needs.
HP Pavilion Plus 14: Versatility with Myriad Choices
The Pavilion Plus 14 presents a versatile array of choices for users. It’s available with configurations sporting either Intel or AMD processors. Users can choose between configurations with the Intel Core i5, Intel Core i7, AMD Ryzen 5 or AMD Ryzen 7 processors.
The standout feature here is the display. HP has opted to adopt the 16:10 aspect ratio and it’s pretty clear with the IPS and OLED displays in the HP Pavilion Plus lineup. The base model boasts a crisp 1920×1200 IPS panel, but there are enticing upgrades available. Users can opt for a 2560×1600 IPS screen with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate or an even sharper 2880×1800 OLED display, also at 120Hz. For those choosing the AMD variant, the configurations come with AMD APUs which come with integrated graphics namely the Radeon 740M, 760M, or 780M. The webcam has seen an improvement, now sporting a 5-megapixel camera.
In terms of memory and storage, options begin with 16GB of DDR5 memory and 512GB of PCIe 4.0 SSD storage. Connectivity is robust, featuring dual USB-C ports, USB-A ports, and an HDMI port. HP claims that this laptop can deliver up to an impressive 13.5 hours of video playback on a single charge.
Pavilion Plus 16: A Larger Canvas for Creativity
The Pavilion Plus 16 aims to provide a larger canvas for users who require a bit more screen real estate. It’s equipped with Intel processors, specifically the i5-13500H and i7-3700H. The laptop comes in striking silver and gold colour options. The 16-inch screen boasts a resolution of 2650×1600 at a fluid 120Hz. Graphics options include integrated Intel Xe or a dedicated GeForce RTX 3050 GPU.
Battery life on the Pavilion Plus 16 is impressive – on paper at least. HP touts almost 16 hours of usage. Storage and memory options mirror those of the 14-inch version. The laptop is generously equipped with ports, including a Thunderbolt 4 upgrade for one of the USB-C ports.
