It's all well and good giving a laptop the Beats logo and colours, but they really should have put more work into the actual sound quality. Behind the Beats colours, all you'll find is an appalling screen, terrible audio and a shocking battery life. All i...

In some ways, the HP Pavilion 15 feels a little anachronistic. While the typical notebook in 2015 is skinnier than a supermodel or plays some sort of transforming trick, the Pavilion 15 is more of a good old fashioned laptop. It's a little bulky, it actua...

Budget laptops aren't supposed to look good, but HP's latest model bucks this trend: it's got a stylish dotted pattern, plenty of clean curves and a simple, dark interior that'll turn heads. The best part? It's only £400 (about US$664, AU$717).That money...

HP's latest machine looks good, feels sturdy, and is easy to carry day-to-day, and its AMD APU makes it a well-rounded budget system. The poor screen, speakers and keyboard, though, mean it's tricky to recommend this system for any sort of more intensive...

The Pavilion 15 TouchSmart cost £700 when HP originally launched it at the end of 2013. But it has recently come down in price and now represents something of a bargain at just £500. (See: What's the best budget laptop? ) It's not, admittedly, the most p...

The HP Pavilion 15 isn't a machine for everyone. In fact we'd suggest that it's best as a second machine for the home that everyone can grab as needed. Even so, if you're looking for a straightforward laptop on a tight budget, it does more than its prici...

If you're after a good-looking laptop on a budget, HP makes number of laptops that look more expensive than they really are. We were really taken by the HP Pavilion 15-e072sa's glossy red lid and interior. It may look great, but it's not a compact machine...

HP's new budget gaming notebook took a bit of getting used to. It is a far cry from the ultra-sleek and over-engineered stylings of most gaming laptops that we're used to seeing these days, nor does it share the slim profile of modern Ultrabooks and some...
It is honestly difficult to call the HP Pavilion 15 a gaming laptop. It is cheaper than most other gaming laptops, but it lacks the raw power needed to compete with them. It cuts corners in areas we wished it hadn't: I don't mind the bland design, but mos...

In fact, this is a price for the Core i7-6700HQ and GTX 960M configuration so prices may go even low if you are willing to trade the CPU for the Core i5-6300HQ or a GTX 950M for that matter. But the main question remains. Will this 15-incher handle the he...
