💻 HP Pavilion 15.6" FHD Laptop Ryzen 5 4500U 8GB RAM 512GB SSD Windows 10 Horizon Blue - 2020 Model Review

I've had my eye on this laptop for a long time and have not been disappointed. Good screen and reasonably bright, copes well with some light games (usually I play the Sims on Ultra and Wii U on 720), great speakers, mic and meeting cam and such, and the keyboard and touchpad are great. It has a beautiful aluminum body. It has a USB-C port that supports power delivery (up to 61W I think) and a display port. There are also 2 USB-A ports and an SD card port, as well as a dedicated charging port…

This thing is damn fast. Such an upgrade from my Dell. I received the eh0050wm not the eh0090wm but the seller worked with me on it. The stats are basically the same, you can't see the difference on the HP website. I'm assuming the 0090 has a backlit keyboard because the 0050 doesn't. I won't be smart if I need it for a letter. I can turn this laptop off and back on in no time. Updates were not long in coming. WiFi is excellent. I thought the SD slot would fit SDHC but I was wrong: I have no…

I received this laptop maybe a month ago. Haven't used it a ton yet but so far I'm really enjoying it. Super light, good battery life, great speakers, super clean display. I use it mostly for everyday use and I think "lightweight" games (I installed the Sims 4 base game along with pretty much all the packs) and it works great for all of that. In the future I plan to do some digital art on it using Photoshop but haven't gotten that far yet but I expect it to handle it well. Use this laptop more.

The specs are great for what I need, which is basic stuff. I've tested Premier Pro, Photoshop and After Effects and was surprised that these programs run smoothly enough for video editing; but with just 8GB of RAM, don't expect much more than simple editing and simple effects. The first impression is great. Update: Halo Reach averages 40-50 fps. Battery life could be better, but I seem to get 4 to 8 hours when the computer isn't busy. In general, I'm very happy with this thing, and it looks…

*The device I received does not have a backlit keyboard. The Intel 1135G7 is fast and has decent battery life as everyone expected, so not much to say. Another Ryzen R3 4300U laptop I originally owned had driver issues for several months, constantly overclocking to battery instead of turbo, causing loads of lag and stuttering. However, the issue seems to have been fixed by updating the driver at the end of March, so I decided to try the more expensive R5 4500u HP Pavilion 15. I don't play…

I've been having problems with my computer since I first turned it on. The sound stopped working so I had to reload my speaker sound card then 2 days later the screen went black and I couldn't get the screen back but 5 minutes later everything was back then a few days after I inserted mine had to unlock my computer, the only thing i could do was move the arrow of my finger. All in 1 week. I also had to take it to the HP Service Center, 1 week has passed and it still hasn't been returned.
