The HP 15-inch Laptop is a great all-around device with solid specs at a competitive price point. In addition to 8GB of RAM, the device comes with Intel Iris Xe Graphics to bring you an enjoyable viewing and gaming experience. Of course, it’s still not enough for many popular titles, but with the specs this laptop has, you can run a lot of free-to-play games at low to mid settings.

HP has the art of making slim, well-performing laptops for budget-friendly prices down to a tee, and the HP Pavilion 15.6-inch is no exception. It comes with 8GB of RAM and 128GB SSD storage, which is great for students and office workers who just need something that can let them join an online meeting and complete homework.

The laptop comes with a built-in webcam, speaker, and microphone so it’s perfect for users who don’t want to buy additional accessories for their device.

The only drawback here is the Intel Celeron processor which is, frankly, on the slow side. But as long as you don’t use this for running games or anything of the like, it will perform well.

Though the screen isn’t HD, its 1536 x 1024 resolution is nothing to scoff at, and since the screen is a modest 12.4 inches, you won’t notice a big difference from a true 1920 or 1080 resolution HD screen.
