Budget laptops aren't supposed to look good, but HP's latest model bucks this trend: it's got a stylish dotted pattern, plenty of clean curves and a simple, dark interior that'll turn heads. The best part? It's only £400 (about US$664, AU$717).That money...

HP's latest machine looks good, feels sturdy, and is easy to carry day-to-day, and its AMD APU makes it a well-rounded budget system. The poor screen, speakers and keyboard, though, mean it's tricky to recommend this system for any sort of more intensive...

The Pavilion 15 TouchSmart cost £700 when HP originally launched it at the end of 2013. But it has recently come down in price and now represents something of a bargain at just £500. (See: What's the best budget laptop? ) It's not, admittedly, the most p...

The size and weight of the Pavilion 15 TouchSmart suggest that it's more intended as a desktop replacement system for use at home or in the office. However, its all-round performance, combined with an attractive screen and optical drive, provide very good...

The Pavilion laptops have traditionally been HP's affordable ‘everyday computing' range. But the new HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15 shows signs of starting to move upmarket a bit. Here's our full HP Pavilion TouchSmart 15 review. Last year's model is still on...

The lack of decent screen resolution is disappointing in a laptop costing Almost £700, but the Pavilion TouchSmart 15 is a solid workhorse of a laptop with a reasonable mid-range price tag. It's not particularly portable, but it'll be a choice for people...

Ratings in depth The management behind HP may have hit the headlines a few times in the last few years, but the fact that it is releasing budget laptops once again, under recognisable names, does go some way to showing that it means business once again. B...

The HP Pavilion 15 isn't a machine for everyone. In fact we'd suggest that it's best as a second machine for the home that everyone can grab as needed. Even so, if you're looking for a straightforward laptop on a tight budget, it does more than its prici...

If you're after a good-looking laptop on a budget, HP makes number of laptops that look more expensive than they really are. We were really taken by the HP Pavilion 15-e072sa's glossy red lid and interior. It may look great, but it's not a compact machine...

The HP Pavilion 15-B168CA ($699.99 (CA) list), available in Canada, is a mainstream touch-screen laptop with a large 15.6-inch screen. It comes with a relatively thin chassis, thanks to the omission of an optical drive like a DVD burner. With an AMD A8 pr...

In some ways, the HP Pavilion 15 feels a little anachronistic. While the typical notebook in 2015 is skinnier than a supermodel or plays some sort of transforming trick, the Pavilion 15 is more of a good old fashioned laptop. It's a little bulky, it actua...

HP's new budget gaming notebook took a bit of getting used to. It is a far cry from the ultra-sleek and over-engineered stylings of most gaming laptops that we're used to seeing these days, nor does it share the slim profile of modern Ultrabooks and some...

It is honestly difficult to call the HP Pavilion 15 a gaming laptop. It is cheaper than most other gaming laptops, but it lacks the raw power needed to compete with them. It cuts corners in areas we wished it hadn't: I don't mind the bland design, but mos...
