At a glance glance, we’ll be watching the news.

The HP Pavilion Plus 14 is impressive with an all-metal design and an OLED display. The short battery life may leave you wanting more.

HP has a three-level laptop: mainstream Pavilion, High-Envy, and Spectre. With the Envy and Spectre lines, you could sell plastic enclosures for a thin yet rugged all-metal design and more powerful components at a reasonable price. The Pavilion Plus, which is powered by HP, blurred the lines between the Pavilion Series and the premium Envy and Spectre lines. The first laptop of the presenter’s, 14 inches, is a great example of what works with the workhorse pavilion is designed to look and run more like an individual.Doomedly, racehorses are better sprinters than marathoners as we get to his battery life performance.

What are these extra attractions that turn a pavilion into a pavilion plus? For starters, a thin aluminum chassis, HP say, is the thinest for a Pavilion. In this case a 14-inch 16:10 panel, 2.8K (2880 x 1800), is the first Pavilion to offer an OLED display. Inside, it offers a variety of chips from Intels latest 12th-generation processors and there is also an option to roll up the integrated graphics to an RTX 2050 GPU. And the best part is it. These additions have no effect on the quality. The Pavilion Plus 14 is popular and affordable, so it offers a wide range of goods. So much so that it might harm the company’s sales.

The standard for the HP Pavilion Plus 14 test system is $1,009.99 direct from HP.

The HP Pavilion Plus 14 starts at 59.99 Euro and HPs present 200 dollars discount. For that sum, you get a Core i5-1240P CPU, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, and a non-OLED display with a 2.2K (2240 x 1400) resolution. This is a great price, even if it is a regular IPS panel. In my case, I would argue for 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD as the minimum, but double the standard 256GB SSD adds only 50 dollars. In addition to the option of 16GB of RAM, the memory is on board, so there is no option for future expansion. You should upgrade since the next two CPU options add less than $100 to the cost of this system.

Our test system uses Windows 11, which adds 70 dollars to its bill. If you go with Windows 11 Home, the cost of the laptop would be even better – $1,009.99.

HP offers an impressive array of 12th-generation Core processors, including chips from its 15-watt U series, 28-watt P series and 45-watt H series. Our test system has a Core i7 from the H series. I was worried about the double-ironed panel of the first one without a chips from the high-speed HP. My fears were unfounded, because the Pavilion Plus 14 was fast working during my time with it. Even during intense graphics, the fans kicked on, but nowhere near the jet-engine sound that plagues many laptops.

It’s perhaps easier to put down our configuration with the Core i7-12700H chip and Intel Iris Xe graphics that are comparable to other options that have a more efficient CPU and discrete graphics. One can have the Core i5-1235U chip and MX250 graphics, the other with the Core i7-1255U chip and RTX 2050 graphics.

One last note on the configuration of the laptop: to improve the design of the optional OLED display, you will need to choose the Core i7-1255U chip and the RTX 2050 graphics option or the Core i7-12700H part found in the test system.

HP asserts that the Pavilion Plus 14 is the thinnest of all time. I can’t confirm or deny this claim, but I can say that the system is not clunky by any stretch. It’s also not shockingly thin, too. Let’s call it compact and move on. It weighs a hair less than three pounds and is actually a little heavier on a 14inch laptop. Two other 14-inch 16:10 laptops we’ve recently examined are lighter. The Acer Swift 5 weighs 2.5 pounds and the Lenovo IdeaPad 2.7 weighs only 2.

The Pavilion Plus 14 has no weight loss solution, and has an all-metal enclosure that can reduce the weight of a thin profile while avoiding harsh daily abuse from students, business or university life. And to make up your face on campus, you can get the Pavilion Plus in five colors: silver, dark silver, dark blue, light pink and gold.

Our test system is painted with silver chassis. There is some refinement in the look overall. Branding is minimized with an HP logo centered on the lid, a smaller logo on the bottom bezel below the display, and a faint wordmark on the left edge of the keyboard. On the right there are two Intel stickers, a small B&O logo (reparing Bang and Olufsen audio), and a fingerprint reader.

No matter what color of the Pavilion Plus 14, the keyboard is exactly the same as the rest of the laptop. Silver keys with gray keys not create a good contrast, but it does not exactly look like they match white keys. There were issues in certain lighting conditions making out which key was which. If you’re not a touch-type, you’ll probably want to look for the darker Silver or Space Blue, which may be good for the combination of the key and key symbols.

Although I did not look at contrast, I enjoyed typing on the keyboard. The keys are snappy and quiet, so they don’t hurt the keys. There are two levels of backlighting. This helps you to learn which key is which but helps to get the light silver keys still wash out.

The touchpad is generously proportioned and is able to see my swipe, pinch and other mousing gestures in full. The click response is perfect without just the right amount of time and quiet response.

In our test system, the 14inch OLED display will be with a 2.8K (22880 x 1800) resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. The combination of an OLED display with a great resolution of 2,8K allows for an amazing image. With OLED you get great contrast and deep blacks, and the resolution produces a sharp image across the 14-inch display.

The OLED display, which is 500 grams wide, also showed clear whites. His measurements showed that it was as bright as the rating suggests. Since it’s only a sixty-sixth of its first IPS panel with a 2.2K resolution, you’ll definitely want to switch up to the OLED upgrade.

The OLED panel is the highlight of the display, but its aspect ratio is interesting, too. This is a 16-inch display, that is taller than the wide-screen 16-inch-width display you are likely familiar with. The larger display will give you more room from the top to the bottom, so you can easily put more room in the screen and scroll more easily through long documents and pages. And particularly on a 14-inch panel, sometimes cramped during busy multitasking sessions, the added vertical space is highly appreciated and makes the display feel bigger than its 14-inch dimensions.

Nowadays, mainstream laptops are shifting the 720p webcams from higher-resolution 1080p cameras to higher-resolution desktops because of the adoption of Zoom call and video conferences. The XVI-P Pavilion flipped a 1080-p webcam train. Using these colours, you’ll give you more clarity to your video conference attendees with the more accurate colors and less grainy noise that plagued previous 720p video calls. Without a physical cover or kill switch, however, you can’t be entirely sure that your privacy is secure when you are sitting in front of the laptop and not with the camera.

The B&O-aided speakers produce the average output of laptop sound. The speakers were able to fly down from the slanted side on the bottom. During music playback, there’s some separation between mid- and highs, but bass response is unquestionably lacking. The control listened to the noise in the B&O Audio Control app so that I could better the sound, so that I didn’t have much luck. The slider is as much as the rest of the bass, but I didn’t notice any change in the sound. It works well for movies and videos, but a lack of music playback does not mean a change in the sound.

The Pavilion Plus 14 is a useful design, with two simple lines of navigation with a 3Gbps USB port, with USB port support and DisplayPort 1.4, and five-Gbps USB port port support. Until the two types of terminals of my PC are all available from the USB-C variety, it’s great to have both. The USB-A ports are split on either side of the laptop, but both USB-C ports are on the right. In case of a problem with one of the USB-C ports to charge the laptop, I think that as well, the power cord would be split between the two of the two of them so I could choose which side of the laptop to use the computer. As is life, you are sometimes sitting to the right of the wall outlet and sometimes walking to the right. The ports are supported by a HDMI 2.1, a sound jack and a microSD card slot.

Our HP Pavilion Plus 14 contains a i7-12700H processor, 16GB RAM, an integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics system, and an SSD. The Core i7-12700H is an AMD Series of 45-watt mobile chips. The core i7-12700H features a new hybrid architecture created by Intel with its performance and efficiency cores; it has 6 performance and 8 efficiency cores and 20 processing threads.

To look into the Pavilion Plus 14s performance, we compared the benchmark results to the other ultrabooks in a class 11 and 12 model, and in an AMD’s Ryzen 7 5000 series of CPUs. Both The Acer 5 and Samsung Galaxy Book 2 pro 360 have the Core i7-1260P, a chip built with two power plants from the Intel Alder Lake P series, which has four power cores, eight efficiency cores and sixteen processing threads. Both the Acer G3 and the Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Carbon Gen 9 have the 11th-gen Core i7 chips, while the Dell Inspiron 14 7000 and Lenovo IdeaPad 7 Carbon are compared to the Ryzen 7 5700 and Ryzen 7 5800. All the laptops are powered by integrated graphics.

Our first benchmark is PCMark 10. The performance of all the computing tasks, including office tasks, web browsing and video chats. The Pavilion Plus 14 went off to a tinker and finished with both AMD-based laptops and a pair of models based on the core i7-1260P, which is more efficient and presumably less powerful processor than the Pavilion Plus 14’s Core i7-12700H part. The Pavilion Plus 14 is hard to ding too much in spite of its PCMark 10 result. It still scored more than five thousand and a half times more, so the application performance is solid. You will have no trouble running office apps and multitasking on the Pavilion Plus 14.

Our benchmarking tool tests how a laptop works in a difficult manner to withstand the process of crushing CPU loads. In this case, a 30GB video encoder can be converted to a new, portable, portable or mobile mobile device. The Pavilion Plus 14 mastered the work of Handbrake, allowing for a great success. Through the course of a quick victory, the test was more rapid than the other laptops here. The additions to the cores and threads of the Core i7-12700H were very valuable on handbrake.

Next up is Cinebench, another CPU-intensive test, but one that looks like a complex 2D scene in short time. According to the Handbrake report, the Pavilion Plus 14 was clearly the best laptop on Cinebench, and excelled in the All-Thy test and second in the Single Thread test.

This group of laptops with integrated GPUs won’t interest gamers. We run a 3DMarks Time Spy test to get a sense of Intel’s integrated Iris Xe and AMD’s integrated Radeon graphics. We were surprised when the Pavilion Plus 14 landed behind the other four Intel-based systems. These laptops are in the same boat: they never offer any gaming performance outside of casual games.

To measure the battery life of your laptop, we use an app called Windows 11 to track a 4K video, and then use an AC and a USB connector to set the laptop to Airplane mode and to get a pair of headphones. We set the screen brightness at a very light 250 nits to 260 nits, which is a good brightness for a movie in an office with the lights on. The Pavilion Plus 14 lasted 6 hours in a little longer than competitors. This is a disappointing number and hours shorter than competitor models offer. The three-cell battery is 51-watt-hour, considering the high-resolution screen. Powering the screen is the biggest charge, and powering more pixels creates a full battery.

The Pavilion Plus 14 brings HP’s mainstream laptop line two important premium features: a sleek, all-metal chassis and a beautiful OLED display. The hard-nosed chassis looks more like a laptop HPs high-end Envy or Spectre line than an ordinary laptop. The OLED display can turn into a superior image to that of a standard IPS panel, and can also be better seen by mainstream buyers. For students and the laptop purchaser on budget, obtaining both goods for around $1,000 less if you opt for Windows 11 home and less storage than our test systems.

A modern component lineup with the i7 processor for the sock, is perfect for home use, office, and life study. The 13-inch display is a great size for most laptop users trying to get the most from the camera and the portability.

I would like to add more memory post purchase but i don’t like the silver key with gray key symbols. It’s the wrong choice for a primary input device that’s used as a key and key symbol paired. The poor battery life has caused the biggest drawback. In order to stay portable, a 14-inch laptop won’t stay anchored to your desk like a larger model with less battery life. While you can choose a different color chassis for the Pavilion Plus 14 which can contrast better between keys and key symbols, you’re stuck with the undersized three-cell battery. With a bigger battery and an easier run time, the Pavilion Plus 14 would be a good addition to the perfect mainstream laptop.
