Right off the bat I must say that the device is absolutely gorgeous. The entire thing is made out of strong, smooth plastic with a black and green aesthetic. This look is carried over to the laptop’s keyboard, which is illuminated by green LEDs. The only downside to these is the lack of an adjustable brightness. Even a dim mode would have sufficed between just on and off.
The Pavilion sports a 15.6-inch 1080p screen and weighs around 2.3kg so you won’t be lugging around an enormous, heavy beast like other gaming laptops. This size didn’t deter me from gaming at all, which felt comfortable and natural.
The device comes with one HDMI port, a combined 3.5mm headphone and microphone socket, one USB 2.0 and two USB 3.0 ports, a standard network cable jack, and an SD-size card reader. It’s all standard component fair, though having the USB ports slightly further apart and separate headphone and microphone jacks would have been beneficial.
