The HP Pavilion 15 gaming laptop is available with AMD’s new Ryzen processors, but due to high demand that was out of stock. Rather than skip it, I thought it would be interesting to review the Intel model instead and see how well quad core gaming laptops hold up towards the end of 2020.

I really appreciate you putting latencymon into your reviews. It's something not a lot of reviewers check and it can dramatically impact things like audio playback.
HP are the current worst culprit when it comes to latencymon. Almost all other major brands have made attempts to improve this as time has gone on. HP just don't care, even in their very top of the line most expensive machines. I say boycott this brand.
Still don't understand why quad core intel.processors get 1660ti's but hexa core ryzen processors only get a 1650ti commonly.
Price.
They are still treating it as an Under dog or say they Intel has a good connect with the teams than amd so treatment difference
I think it's because manufacturers thought amd was going to be bad again so they bought low end GPUs then they realized it was good so some laptops now have rtx 2060
With same spec except gpu.
@@koreapubege8150 yes!
People who live in the US get the best deals. In my country this is one of the best value-for money laptops you can buy.
1660ti with Ryzen 7 3750H and 16 gb ram for 999€ if it's on sale.
My uncle buying 1660ti r7 4800H 8 core 8gb ram for £850
No seriously its very unfair
@@Joangelis I mean, people in the the US have to deal living around people with room temperature iq having to right to carry a gun. Living with people who still support trump. Living with the world's worst healthcare system cause the budget is being used to devolop verticle take off on their f-series jets for wars that they start themselves. I mean this is a first world country where people still have to pay for an ambulance lmao. I honestly think they deserve to get atleast something good...
@@tysonmcgee1891 🤣
@Basketball American hes not wrong, the healthcare system needs to be changed asap
Dude, this review was awesome and in depth, even for a novice like me. Thanks!
Do you think i should be fine with this year's mobile cpu and gpu equipped laptop or should I wait a year for the next gen hardware to show up and be available
probably fine if you're going for a mid-ranged laptop. something like an AMD 7 with a 1050Ti. plus, RAM prices are at an all-time low now, you can upgrade 8GB of RAM to 16GB for 30 dollars!
Finally, I've been waiting for this for quite some time. Love your vids
man, so close. i have the same laptop, but a smaller refresh rate screen from walmart (60 hz). i was really hoping i finaly found a review video about this laptop so i can see how it compares with the good ones! I've had it for two years already and it's surprisingly still holding up really well, still snappy and responsive, but it does struggle with newer games. my legion 5 pro is in the mail, after watching your review of that as well! I think this laptop is still good enough to keep as a secondary though, i may repurpose it as my studio laptop for music production, with the 32 gb of ram i have installed. Gonna upgrade the Legion 5 Pro to 32 gb of 3200 ram as well thanks to your suggestion!
The HP Pavilion Gaming 15 laptops are quite competitive here in Europe to the Lenovo Legion 15 because of the lower pricing and better availability. However, there are variations with shitty screens and no USB C display port support which one should be careful with.
I have this oc, but the keyboard light turn off after 30 seconds, j tried changing it in bios, but it didn't show it there, please do you know how
Have to give a shout out to the Be'Lakor shirt. One of my favorite Melodeath bands
Hey Jarrod, I was thinking of getting a lenovo legion5 ryzen 7 4800h, dunno if to get the 1660ti or the 2060, only seems to be £50 difference in price here in the UK with same disk and memory 16gb/1tb sd, gonna be doing some gaming and light work stuff. Or would wait for ryzen 5000/ radeon graphics? Dunno what else would be worth getting at the £1200 mark. Liking the reviews though. 👌
just when I was looking for a good review on this, timing couldnt get any better
I just got 3400 on Cinebench R20 Multi, HP Pavilion Gaming but with Ryzen 5 4600H. I was able to get this score, after enabling max fan using 3rd party Notebook Fan control software as the Omen Command centre is useless in this laptop. The Fan profile xml profile was provided to me by a subscriber of mine, works like a charm!
Do you know if fans are louder when using programs of photo/video editing like phtoshop or premiere?
Hey Jarrod, how is the anti-glare coating? Is it half glossy and not a true matte and does it have grainy look?
Been waiting for this video for so long now , thank you jarrod
No problem!
Depends on the cost and what is being done with it. 4 core Celeron or Pentium pass. Now I5 and I7 quad core I would look at.
Who else watching even when they're broke af...
Hah sucks for you
Me😂
nah just bored asf
😪
Nah i got mine like 2 years ago so hahnitch
How about pavilion 15 dk1064tx?
It's a core i5 (10300h) with rtx 2060. What you guys think about this configuration??
I still dont understand why hp have two different chassis for the ryzen and intel models for this laptop series?
And why does ryzen models have one less usb port and shared heat pipes for cooling
And worse GPU
Your conclusion of this laptop really gives consumers something to think about. There's a lot of models in computer manufacturer's these days that if all you focus is on price not value or future thinking you might not get the best value for your money. Consumers that are not familiar with GPU, CPU, Graphics Cards are the ones that may make the purchase as I saw this Pavillion 15 of 899.99 with i5 next to the HP Omen 1,249.99 with a Ryzen 7 next to each other at a Bestbuy with no description of the cores. You make a lot sense when it comes to the cores and a good perspective about price and the possibility that 4 cores may not be enough down the line. Great video and information! Keep up the good work.
Would you recommend the ryzen 5 4600h with gtx 1650 ti version of this pc for a price of a 750$ ?
and is there a better pc i can get knowing that my max budget is 800 $ ?
did you ever find a better laptop under 800 dollars? i have a similar budget.
Hey, is this HP a good option right now on 2022 expecting to have quality-price?
I know might be a late reaction, but i am seeking a budget midrange laptop for simple game design and simple 3d art. So i need prob something similar to this, do you know if this is a good option or is there anything better in this price range? And its on sale right now too haha (i5 5th gen, with nvidia 1650 for 700 euros, 16 gig ram, 500 gig storage, 1080p, 60 hz).
So excited i just bought it its arrving tmmrw
@@charbelmerhej3249 in my country its the best value for money laptop, its usually on discounts and has the best hardware compared to the price. I have a bit older hp pavilion gaming 15, only with a 8300h and 1050 ti. Performance is alright, it definitely lives up to the standards of the hardware but thermals are a HUGE problem. Like Jarod's test shows, even with a cooling pad your CPU is hot all the friggin time whilst gaming. Ive done so many things to lower CPU's performance, namely the minimizing its power through the power usage settings on battery mode. Still gets heated as shit. Also, had to change my battery after around a year of having it (most likely because of the heating problems and also you have to leave it plugged in all the time whilst gaming for max performance, which is bad for the battery). Would not recommend, although hardware is good, thermals ruin all of this laptop's potential.
@@charbelmerhej3249 yes it is great i dont have any problems except it heats up sometimes when you play heavy games. And th fans are a little noisy, but its not really a problem. Overall this laptop is a great device
Omg i can't wait i just bought it too :D
What games do you play on it?
@@Fives179 Bro i have the pavillion with the 1050ti and i have the same problem.Can u share how you changed the battery?Did you do it on ur own or did u take it to a professional.Also can u fit in a bigger battery in that space?Thanks.Its my first laptop so i dont know much hehe
I am waiting for this to be on sale again for $450 but I might as well get it for the original price seeing how good it is and maybe the sale will not come for a while. I sold my iPad 5th gen to buy this laptop even doe I did not get it yet and I plan to use this for gaming and video editing mainly. Do you think this is a good buy?
What do you think the best version of this laptop intel or ryzen?
hey jarrod what about the 1660 ti and ryzen 7 4800h do you advise me to buy???
How much undervolt would you recommend ? I have the same model with 9750H and i applied -250 core and -125 cache.
If I may ask you Jarrod, how can you explain the better performance of the pavilion in comparison to the dell g3, even though that one has a beefier processor? Thank you very much, in advance and keep up the great work!
Bro is new hp pavilion dk2100 good for gaming?? I haven't seen a review on that in youtube so if you say it's good one maybe I will order tomorrow........
In my mind the 1x16 stick completely kills the point of it being "budget", considering on top of buying it, I also have to buy 2x8 or 2x16 sticks as soon as I get it just to make it work well. What a shame, it's ALMOST a good deal for a decent machine.
1660 ti ?? And i5 10th gen ?... Here in the market there is the variant of Intel i5 9th gen/ Ryzen 5 4600H cpus having gtx 1650 4gb and 60hz
.. Which cpu do you prefer in this case ? :)
How does it compare against Legion 5 with the same processor (Ryzen 5 4600H)? I think Legion is better as it has better build quality.
I got the model HP Pavilion para gaming - 15-dk0001la in January 2020 and I'm still happy with this laptop. These are the following stock specs: Intel i5-9300H, Windows 10 Single Language (upgraded to Windows 11 Enterprise), HDD 1TB (upgraded to Nvme M2 1TB XPG Gammix S11 Pro), 8GB RAM (upgraded to 24GB) and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1050 3GB GDDR5. Even if it's a budget gaming laptop, this machine surpassed my expectations having a good coooling system, ergonomic andnice keyboard and combined with a balanced performance. This laptop is not capable to run games such as Metro: Exodus, Metro: Redux, Dead Redemption, Battlefield V, Control (meet with minimum requirements, but don't expect high FPS) and similar titles. However, some games such as Rise of Tomb Raider, Battlefield I, Vampyr, some COD and Wolfenstein games could be run in 1080p with high or mixed high/ultra settings. Nowdays, my girlfirned this laptop for working from home, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere, MS Office, ocasional gaming and is the perfect laptop for everything with a balanced price/performance. My recommendation consists to change to the thermal past each 6 months if you play videogames frequently or 9 months if you use this laptop for working from home. That's the right way to extended the life expectancy keeping a great performance.
Just bought this today, how long you should charge this for the first time?
Can i see the cooling pad you use in this review?
Do you think the 2021 model of this is the same interior and therma?
Hi Jarrod's,
Can I charge this laptop with type c charger?
Thank you
I watcher this video during those days of not having a laptop. After 2 years, i finally own a laptop. It's already 2023, i thought it's still 2021 lol. Time flies fast.
is there any difference in the screen of the ryzen 4800h variant?
me here with hp omen dc10xx series i7 9750h 1660 ti - thank you for your videos, you guided me so much :)-
How's the performance in games
@@itszain6317 its generally hot i dont prefer using it on stock paste, i prefer u to buy a never version of omen cuz they perform better
@@creerman6678 does cpu temperature exceeds 90c
You should start including modern games like Call of duty, RDR2,watchdogs and cyberpunk. The one you showed are pretty old games that will run fine on a quad core so the results are misleading. 6 cores are mandatory if you are using your laptop with all other apps running like a normal laptop
Got pretty damn near 60fps on a 4c4t 9100 and a rx570 desktop with a mix of medium and high if it helps you
@Blackstone Brick • 5 years ago oh sorry. RDR2
hi we have the same laptop, can I ask how to fix if the wifi and bluetooth on the left side icon is not showed and it also does not work.😥
Which is better Acer Nitro 5(ryzen 5 4600H,1tb,256ssd,8gb ram,1650ti,144hz). Or asus tuf a17(same spec but big size and metal body then 120hz...price also little high in india)....What should I go for....?
Hey Jarrod, I am planning on to buy HP Pavillion 15, but its a different variant. I wasnt really able to find its model on google, but it is available in store :
CPU : Ryzen 7 5800H
GPU : RTX 3050Ti 4 GB
RAM : 16 GB (8x2)
Refresh Rate : 144 Hz
Not rly sure bout the NTSC and sRGB rating. But im not planning on to do any sort of graphic editing.
The price after converting is about 1200 $
Do u think its worth the price?
im going to buy the ryzen 5, 3050, 144hz which i already find a bit too much but because this laptop doesnt look gamy/cringy and it does the job i am satisfied. In your case, i would not buy a 3050ti for 1200 dollars. I dont know how it is in the USA but i can get a 3060 or amd 6600 and ryzen5 for around 950/1000 euros.. with ryzen 7 it would be around 1200 euros i believe.
Compare with lenovo ideapad gaming 3,which one is good for all around?
Are you going to use CYBERPUNK 2077 for the benchmarks in the future (probably until it is patched and runs with no issues) and if so would it be with all laptops even on low end GPUs?
Can the keys change to a diff color
Does anybody know how to fix one of these? I never cleaned mine because I couldn’t and now it just won’t turn on, tried holding the power button, pressing different keys and I don’t know how to get it back
Thank you. I bought it
But the screen is dim, how to increase its brightness ?
Is the ryzen 7 4800H hp version better? With the exact same specs of this hp
Are you going to buy the ryzen variant?
Amazing video. Would you recommend the ryzen 5 1650 varient for around 780usd?
Yes
Anybody know if this machine has a charging limit feature to stop charging beyond 80%? Is there a way to do this? Pls help
Can I use it connected with charger?
Hey Jarrod, can u review the Evoo gaming laptop by Walmart? I am going to buy this laptop in the coming year but I want to know you opinion on it. The laptop has the RTX 2060 graphics card. Thanks
I am going to wait until after christmas sales.. They had a nitro 5 with 2060 rtx 16gb ram a ssd and a 1tb hdd and 144hz ips screen for $799 on cyber monday.
@@xiaodre ahh, ok. I much prefer the Evoo gaming laptop than the acer nitro becuase of thermals. The acer nitro doesn't really have a good history with thermals. Besides, the screen is so much more responsive and has better color gamut, even though it comes at a much costlier price than the nitro.
Got the same unit but 16 in. and out of the box I have no sound, in or out and have done ALL the diagnostics with no results.
HPcould not help either after HOURS on line with them.
Trying to get refund but they are giving me a hard time saying it must be something I did on setup ??
ANY THOUGHTS OTHER THAN CRACKING THIS PUPPY OPEN ?
Bro i own the same one, i7-10750H 6core processor with 1660ti? Why i cant find my rig on youtube? Is it like really rare or something?
Is it good for multiplayer games like black desert and war of warcraft?
Do you have review with the legion 5i i5 10th gen?
lenovo ideapad gaming3 or hp pavilion ?
This with gtx 1650 ti or the legion with 120hz screen?
What a great review 👍👍
See you again soon.✅
Thank you.
Why don't u adopt the 19:8 aspect yet?
Hi, can you tell me which gaming laptop you can recommend me for 700 dollars cause that's my budget
Which is better : This laptop or Lenovo Legion 5?
I just wanna know is it better then the L340 if so I’m getting it
Hello good morning hp pavilion 15 and 16 which one is the best
Any plan to review the new Pavilion 15 i7-12700H with RTX 3050 Ti 4GB ?
HP pavilion AMD r7 4800H Vs Legion 5 AMD r7 4800H.
Which one is better? In my country there is no legion stock available.
Is buying a pavilion is worst idea?
Please reply asap.
no pavilion its good. Hp is known for quatly things
is the screen response time the same as the response time bewteen when you click and your character shoots? i play valorant and i’m curious of the response time as far as that goes
No. That is the latency.
Plzz anyone tell me that which is the latest hp pavilion gaming laptop, its digusting me, i serched for it, then i know about that hp pavilion 15 was released in 2019, hp pavilion 16 was released in 2020 and hp pavilion 17 was released in 2020 only, note i am only talking about hp pavilion gaming series not the programming series.😒
What is the fps difference in 1660ti and 1660ti max q and is max q an issue to own?
nah it doesn't change a lot
I have the rysen version, nvidia, 60Hz 12GB ram, would I get better fps with a 240Hz monitor??? Someone please help me out its the holidays soon and I wana know.
So I literally don't know anything about laptops and i am really confused on this should I get this laptop or is there a better one for the same price?
it’s decent if you just wanna run simple games and are a starter as a pc gamer
Which one do you recommend between HP Pavilion 15 & Acer Nitro 15? Thank you
I’m currently deciding which one I should get between the two
@@yahyaaa4600 well i have HP gaming 15 and my mom has Lenovo legion (I forgot the exact model), and I definitely would choose her laptop instead of HP. Maybe you can take a look at Legion series as well
@@anananan8469 hello how is the built quatly?
@@cosmin_budda it’s plastic :(
Should I get this or Lenovo legion y540 ?
All gtx 1660ti in laptops are maxq?
Hey Jarrod. Thanks for the video. I wanted to ask if is it worth considering an i5 10th gen laptop today, if i want it to last for the next four/five years? Or should i push my budget to get a Ryzen instead?
I'd advise going with ryzen (5 4600h) because from my experience it runs cooler and is more efficient as compared to Intel (i5 10300h)
Might be worth waiting til next month to see what next gen has to offer, that said last time I compared 4/6 cores in games a few months ago, there wasn't much difference at all, if you don't do multicore heavy loads it could go ok, hard to predict.
@@JarrodsTech Looking at your game tests though, the Ryzen 5 4600 H compared to the Intel i5 9300H when both are paired with a GTX 1650, generally the Ryzen performed the same or better in every game, some games and presets even had pretty big margins in favor of the Ryzen.
I snagged a 4600h and gtx 1650 for 550€ about a month ago, still cannot believe it, love the laptop
That is an incredible bargain....
Does the cardreader work properly? I have a 2018 HP Pavilion Gaming 15 CX-0027, and I have to hold the card with my hand because the card reader pushes it back eveytime.
I didn't have any issues.
the new version is so much better than the 2018 one :()
3:21 Bro is that RGB Gaming wire u plugged into the laptop available with the laptop
And can you explain what it does?

Hi I recently bought a pavilion 15 gaming but the screen refresh rate isnt 144hz in display settings the only options are 40 and 60 hz can you help me how to fix it?
did you look at specs before purcahsing the 144hz ? maybe you missed with a a60hz pannel
Please start including cyberpunk in ur benchmarks jarrod. Ive heard that is a game where u can see big differences in 4 cores vs higher core count.
can you share that wall paper which set on your display
can i use the deticated gpu without a monitor
Is this laptop good for graphics design learning
I used this laptop for about a year. I can say that it is a very good laptop with very good capabilities and very beautiful. The only downside I found is the hinge which flexes a lot and eventually broke down. I was very gentle while opening it and always from the middle, but tha screen bezel started cracking open after 7 months of use and I got a warranty.
Does the laptop still work?
@@drag7405 i returned it and got a refund. But it was working like new, only the plastic screen bezel would open every time i opened the lid

Is Asus TUF A15 Ryzen 9 4900H good for gaming, cuz its specs are great from the website, ( 6gb gtx1660ti, 144Hz screen and 8core). And it is cheaper, is it worth to buy it or should I go for legion5
