This is the latest in a solid line of HP laptops. The unpacking and setup was smooth - I was up and running 10 minutes after opening the box. The laptop has solid construction, is fast to boot, and runs well. Well-equipped with a 512GB SSD, 8GB of RAM and an i5 CPU. It has a nice row of front-facing speakers which give great sound. Battery life is excellent. Overall, HP makes great laptops and this is an excellent example. Fully recommend.

I am reviewing the HP Pavilion 15 laptop. It has a 15.6 inch HD screen which is nice for streaming and graphics. This is my first laptop that is not a Mac so it took me a while to get used to, but what I did like is that it is fairly lightweight, it has a nice microphone and speakers, and is easy to set up. It also has a touchscreen, which I wasn't sure I would use or even like, but I LOVE it! From completely dead it only took two hours to get a full charge and the battery life is quite good. There are two type-A USB ports and one type-C USB port, a HDMI port, a SD media card reader and a headphone jack. No CD/DVD drive but I guess that is the norm now. The Intel core i7 makes it fast and easily streamed Netflix for me. I appreciated the numeric keypad on the side also. It took me a while to figure out how to get the keyboard backlit but I did, but it doesn't stay on. The laptop is predominantly plastic also, which I was surprised by but you really can't do much better for the price. This would be a good laptop for students or for those of us who just use it for shopping and zoom visits, not sure about gaming since I don't do gaming. For what I need, this laptop is perfect for me.

The 15-CS3075WM is an absolute workhorse. Utilizing the most up to date 10th Generation Intel CORE i7 processor with Iris Plus Graphics, this machine is able to withstand anything I throw at it. I tested it to the max using CAD software that even custom desktops have trouble running, and it loaded several 3D models without issue. I did have to disable the graphic acceleration in order to open a couple of the larger file sizes, but I wouldn't chalk that up to the laptop hardware as I have trouble with those 3D models on any computer I have used. In my line of work, it is imperative that I have several different windows open at once in order to complete my tasks. With this machine, that was not an issue. The 32GB Optane Memory and i7 processor are able to keep up and then some. I enjoy the 512gb SSD, which really makes a difference when firing up the machine from a shutdown. In no time, it is up and running. When it's time to put the work behind me and use the laptop for pleasure, this to me is when you can really appreciate the speed and graphics. The display is magnificent, displaying Netflix in 4K as well as cruising around on the internet at top speed, I cannot honestly say I have had a more sound machine than this HP. The build quality is top notch, and the Lunar Gold color really gives it a professional yet elegant appearance. There is plenty of room to rest your wrists comfortably while typing, and the customize-able touch-pad really allows you to utilize some slick "shortcuts" such as side bar scrolling, zooming, etc... Overall, I am very pleased with the performance, the quality, and appearance of the 15-CS3075WM.

Let's start by being clear that I am not a Windows fan. So I was reluctant to review this computer. That being said, this is a very nice computer. It is light, and very fast. The sound is great The screen is great. It has a lightning fast solid state drive, so it is not slow. The charge lasts a long time, probably long enough that you won't be needing to carry your power supply on normal days. It does not have a touch screen or a DVD drive, so if those are important to you, keep looking. On the other hand, it does have a dedicated numeric key pad. Because of the numeric pad, the touch pad is off center, but that only takes a couple of hours to adjust to. At the price point, it is comparable to Chromebooks and way cheaper than Macs. All-in-all, this is an excellent computer for those who use Windows.

Over the past thirty years, whenever I have purchased Windows-based PCs or laptops, I have always chosen HP products. Never once have I been disappointed... especially now with this HP Pavilion 15.6 i7 8/5 12+32 Lunar Gold Laptop! Following are the Pros & Cons I found with this laptop... Pros: -- Sleek, slender design with an elegant color and styling -- Extremely lightweight -- Powers up super fast & connects to web pages even faster -- With a 512 GB SSD drive, I can't imagine ever even coming close to overloading it with data... plus the advanced technology that the SSD drive brings really boosts loading and booting times -- It has a touchscreen! I really appreciate the versatility that having this option brings. You can use the touchscreen or the keyboard and mouse. Sometimes being able to utilize the touchscreen helps projects go so much faster -- Comes with a full 8 GB of Memory & a 60Hz refresh rate -- It has Microsoft Paint preloaded... This may sound silly to a lot of people and probably not a typical thing that most people look for when purchasing a new laptop, but (for me) there was a time when Paint was the only design software available to graphic artists. I am now retired, but I had not seen or used Paint in over 30 years, so it was really fun and nostalgic for me -- I kept it powered up and played around with it for ten hours straight without the battery completely losing its charge -- The battery charged to full incredibly fast when I charged it after first opening the packaging -- I have two other laptops and an iPhone and none of the three power up, connect to the Internet, or load pages nearly as fast as this HP Pavilion 15.6. I also no longer have pages freeze or suffer annoying extra buffering times/signal losses -- It has a slot for an SD card (I had been utilizing a converter on my previous laptop) -- The Intel Core i7 provides cooler running technology for less heat and less noise, offers a cache size of 8 MB (increasing instruction execution speed), and gives the laptop a processor speed that is very fast due to a combination of turbo boost and hyper threading technologies. This laptop PC did not get nearly as hot as my other laptops do under heavy use -- With Windows 10 we see the return of the Start Menu (and with a new look)! YAY! Plus, Windows 10 offers more user control in that switching applications on and off is greatly simplified and we now have the ability to choose which programs startup automatically when the laptop is powered on -- The Desktop is neatly organized & streamlined... and offers easy access to news, weather, streaming services, music, and online shopping -- The 15.6" display is large enough and clear enough for the most weary of eyes -- It has an elevated keyboard which makes entering data so much more comfortable -- It has connections for: - HDMI 1.4b - RJ-45 - USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-A - USB 3.1 Gen 1 Type-C - Headphone/Microphone Combo - HP Fast Charge - Media Reader -- Has the Wifi 6 & Bluetooth 5 Combo -- Comes equipped with an HP Wide Vision HD Camera (88-degree, wide-angle field of view) -- Offers an easy method of syncing all of your devices -- The keyboard light readily activates at all of the appropriate and needed times Cons: -- There is no Optical Drive (no DVD, CD, or Blu-ray drive) -- I am not at all familiar with the Microsoft Edge Browser, but my initial impression is that it leaves me with some privacy concerns... although the settings in Microsoft Edge do allow me the ability to control a good bit of what is and isn't shared or stored -- It seems like the majority of the software and/or applications pre-installed on this laptop require a purchase after a short free-trial period. This is something I am not at all used to with HP computer systems (Microsoft Office is installed, but you have to purchase it to use it for any length of time) -- The popup ads that appear on startup are annoying and I feel like a lot of the system components are setup to try to get me to buy software and/or applications whose developers are partners with Microsoft... and, for which Microsoft likely receives profits over and above the purchase price of the laptop itself -- You will receive emails trying to get you to purchase various products and services for your HP Pavilion 15.6... some repeatedly -- I have primarily utilized a Mac over the past decade so I had forgotten that you must purchase virus protection for Windows-based operating systems and this is an expense that I was not anticipating -- I did not want to setup a Microsoft Outlook account, but you have no choice as you are unable to complete setup without doing so (I already had a sufficient number of email accounts), and while you can utilize an existing email to setup your Outlook account, this just added to my anxiety over privacy concerns -- A lot of personal information was required to setup the laptop and, while my privacy concerns may be completely unfounded, only time will tell if too much information was given... It's hard because Microsoft is not clear about what user data they collect and/or how it is utilized. I regret that I do not have the personal skill-set to disable the tools that track computer behavior in an "advanced" installation. -- The Windows Media Center is no longer available with Windows 10 Overall, I am VERY happy with the HP PAVILION 15.6 i7 8/512+32 LAPTOP-LUNAR GOLD and am extremely pleased to own one. I LOVE the sleek & elegant design and warp-speed services. Like I said, my privacy concerns may turn out to be completely unfounded. I just need to give it time and see how things go... and start to feel more comfortable with this system. In summary, there are WAY more advantages than disadvantages to owning and utilizing this particular HP Laptop PC! I do highly recommend this product.

The HP Pavilion 15 Laptop PC is super thin and light but still feels sturdy. Out of the box setup is super simple. You only have to answer a few questions and it's ready to use in only a few minutes. It boots up pretty quick thanks to the speedy half terabyte SSD drive. The full HD screen is really bright and is plenty big enough. The keyboard has a nice feel. The 8gb memory is more than enough for normal day to day tasks. The mouse pad does not have separate buttons for right and left click and that took a little getting used to, but once you get used to it, it's second nature. Of course, it has WIFI that was really easy to get connected on my home router and the addition of Bluetooth is a plus. The computer itself seems pretty responsive, most likely due to the combination of the SSD drive, 32gb optane memory and the i5 cpu. The built-in speakers are pretty decent for a laptop. Battery life seems great so far. I've never used it more than a few hours at a time away from an AC plug, so I've never drained the battery. Overall, it's a really nice mid-level laptop that I would recommend to anyone.

Okay the things I found about the laptop I was not to happy with: no cd/dvd drive micro sd card slot only battery inside only cannot be connected to a modem/router by cable Power button in strange position, next to delete button in top row of buttons. no fingerprint scanner as listed on the sheet that came with the unit in the box screen does not fold over to be a tablet No instruction manual just a single sheet of info that covers several models sound lacks bass The speakers are on the base and lower sides so really needs to be an a hard surface. Only two usb ports Power socket for lead is on right side instead of left where most laptops have it, just strange. Only comes with 512 GB hard drive. Things I did like: Keyboard very light and easy to use keyboard is illuminated, makes for easy use in low light touch pad very easy and having the mouse buttons at the bottom to use is helpful sound is good, clear, (speaker on base of unit) Boots up very quickly and easily Screen is very clear and easy to read. The top cover feels like an alloy as cold to the touch. The unit isn't to light. has some weight to it. The battery lasts a long time, impressive. My conclusion is its a great laptop especially if you travel as not to heavy, power lasts a good time and has the basics you need. I think it may have been aimed at people who maybe play online games due to the lack of accessories like cd/dvd drive and no router/modem socket point. I like the keyboard, screen and even the touch pad. This is the first computer to have a touch pad I like I usually hate the things but I still like to connect a mouse for ease. I would recommend this laptop easily but be sure to check the specifications to make sure it has what you want and isn't missing anything you might want.

One problem, that others and myself say, is not a tiny one. It has a high pitched squeel from the cooling fan which is on 90% of the time. Why many people are saying it is a perfect unit and don't see that as a prob is hard to understand. They must not hear very well. I bought 2, they both do it. I returned 1 and am returning the other. Why HP is not correcting that is strange. Other than that they are just fine but again, that is not a small prob when you constantly are hearing that. A $600 computer should not be doing it to start with.

The computer is fast! REALLY fast. Very light and has a good battery life. So far I have noticed though and for that I started a return process: the screen bleeds on the edges. It's as if though the bezel presses against the edge where the wiring is... I like it too much and ordered a replacement and not a refund, let's hope the next one doesn't come that way, otherwise I would have to return and request a refund on that one....
