Hp Pavillion 15 Gaming 8th Gen Intel core i5 1tb HD 8gb ram 4gb Nvidia Gtx 1050 15.6 inches Windows 10

With audio by Bang & Olufson, there’s plenty of power behind the Pavilion’s speaker subsystem. The keyboard is slim but snappy, its bright backlighting helping to make things more visible in dim playing conditions. The keyboard layout is also solid, with the exception of the half-size up- and down-arrow keys, which could prove problematic for some users. The screen is crisp and accurate in its color representation, but only average in brightness. With a thickness of 30mm and a weight of 5.3 pounds, the system is only slightly above average on both metrics – though the power adapter is svelte and quite portable compared to other laptops in this category.

Specs

This laptop is one of the more fully-loaded budget machines in this roundup, including a 2.2GHz Core i7-8750H CPU (eighth generation), 16GB of RAM, and dual hard drives, comprising a 1TB traditional drive and a 128GB SSD. Graphics on the 15.6-inch screen (at 1920 x 1080 pixels of resolution max) are powered by a Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050Ti GPU. Ports include three standard USB ports, one USB-C port, HDMI output, a full-size Ethernet socket, and an SD card reader. That’s a very solid configuration that should allow any gamer to connect all his needed peripherals without having to resort to an external USB hub.
