The HP Pavilion 15-eg2045nf against the competition
The HP Pavilion 15-eg2045nf currently displays in promotion chez HP France and positions itself as one of alone in its class to offer a screen with such faithful colors with such a recent processor (Alder Lake) and such a large amount of RAM.
Chassis, connectors, screen of the HP Pavilion 15-eg2045nf
It sports an elegant appearance with its steel gray aluminum design with a sandblasted and glossy finish.
The connectivity integrated into this versatile Ultrabook is good, including 1 USB-C, a practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV for example, Wi-Fi ax wireless modules (newer and more efficient than Wi-Fi ac) and Bluetooth 5.2 for remote connections and communications, an audio port but also 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers made up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 peripherals are connected to it.
You can authenticate yourself by fingerprint recognition via Windows Hello technology thanks to the integrated biometric reader.
The keys of the chiclet keyboard can be backlit, which is practical for better distinguishing them in the event of reduced ambient light.
A maximum of users will appreciate the screen as it reproduces colors more faithfully than average while offering great vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its sRGB and IPS specifications. In addition, the screen lends itself well to displaying videos and more generally High Definition content thanks to its 16:9 format and its precise Full HD definition. As it is anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outside).
Performance, autonomy of the HP Pavilion 15-eg2045nf
The HP Pavilion 15-eg2045nf is a High Definition laptop designed for general-purpose mobile use.
It incorporates a low-power Intel Alder Lake Core i5-1235U processor with 10 hybrid cores associated with a good amount of 16 GB RAM to provide good general performance capable of suiting many users.
Those who from time to time carry out modest multimedia work using multicore and RAM will appreciate the services delivered by this core, such as photo editing or video conversion.
However, if the objective is to often perform work requiring processor and/or graphics resources, it is better to opt instead for a PC equipped with a non-low-power processor and/or an adequate dedicated graphics card.
Point of dedicated graphics card here on board indeed, all the graphics being supported by the Intel Iris Xe graphics part directly placed in the Alder Lake-U Core i5. Clearly, you can look at photos and videos but also indulge in modest games.
SSD storage clearly enhances its daily responsiveness and fluidity compared to a simple hard drive. Thanks to the SSD, the starts / stops, processing and software launches are much faster in particular, and we reach the cards of online games faster.
It must be said that an SSD is much faster than a hard drive but also less energy-consuming, more robust and silent. With its 512 GB, the SSD offers a capacity in line with the standard of hard drives. However, if you need more space, you can rely on an external storage unit. Favoring a USB-C / USB 3.0 device then represents an interesting option to benefit from fast transfers.
As for the autonomy of this Ultrabook whose transport is facilitated by the lightness and finesse, bet on about 7 hours on battery in light use.
