HP PAVILION 14

HP PAVILION 14 11th Gen Price in Pakistan

The HP Pavilion series has been the go-to option for value-buyers looking to get the most out of their purchase. In fact, that’s been the Pavilion’s strongest selling point for years, with more premium features reserved for the Spectre and Envy series. The new HP PAVILION 14-DV0004TU also sticks to the same idea but there are some surprising additions that make it feel more like a premium machine without costing nearly as much.

Design

“HP Pavilion” branding immediately made me recollect the older Pavilion laptops that were made to reflect their price tags. But the new Pavilion Laptop 14’s svelte aesthetics. It instantly made me think of HP’s more expensive laptops from the Spectre series that are second to none when it comes to design. I absolutely love how the Pavilion Laptop 14 has inherited many of the design features of the Spectre and even the Envy series. HP has done a great job and the end result is a product that looks classy. It just looks more premium than what its price tag would suggest. The laptop only weighs 1.41kgs, which makes it very comfortable to carry around. Its thin and light profile makes it even better to just throw in a laptop sleeve and carry without any hassle.

Display

The HP Pavilion Laptop 14 11th Gen comes with a 14.0″ FHD IPS display which reveals itself as you open the lid. The display has an aspect ratio of 16:9. It is surrounded by plastic bezels on all four sides, which as I have mentioned in the design section of this review, looks very cheap compared to the other parts of the laptop. The 720p HD camera on the front is good enough to handle your Google Meet and Zoom calls.

Processor

The HP Pavilion 14 is equipped with the Intel Core i5-1135G7 is a quad-core, mid-range SoC designed to be used in ultra-light laptops. The Tiger Lake-UP3 processor was introduced in September 2020. It features four Willow Cove CPU cores running at 2.4 GHz (base clock speed @ 28 W TDP) Boosting up to 4.2 GHz (1-core Boost). The all-core Boost clock speed sits at 3.8 GHz. This is a Hyper-Threading-enabled CPU, allowing for up to 8 concurrent processing threads.

Keyboard and Trackpad

The HP PAVILION 14 11th Gen features a standard full-size keyboard in which the keys are backlit. You can’t change the colors of the light, but you do get an option to adjust the brightness. The keys are mushy and shallow, which means your key presses are probably going to be less satisfying depending on the kind of keyboard you are coming from. That being said, it’s not a bad keyboard and is very easy to get used to. The HP Pavilion Laptop 14 features a standard full-size keyboard in which the keys are backlit.
