Reviewers from cnet have found:
The 15.6-inch Pavilion Gaming laptop is an affordable, somewhat no-frills PC. The performance on the one I tested was great for games new and old. The base display is OK for general use, but its color seemed muted and it didn't get especially bright.
Pros
  • Great performance for gaming and content creation
  • Decent battery life
Cons
  • Mediocre display
  • No macro keys or macro keys

notebookcheck[2]

Reviewer score 55% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from notebookcheck have found:
The Pavilion is powered by a Ryzen 5 4600H (Renoir) APU. The built-in hardware ensures a fast and smooth system. The dedicated graphics core enables the use of computer games. The system drive is a 512 GB NVMe SSD (M.2 2280) from Kioxia/Toshiba.
Pros
  • Matte IPS display
  • Full HD resolution
  • NVMe SSD
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • No SD card reader
  • No Thunderbolt 3

pcmag[3]

Reviewer score 58% (normalized by Neofiliac)
Reviewers from pcmag have found:
The HP Pavilion Gaming 15 is a respectable contender in the ultra-competitive gaming arena. It's a handsome and reasonably fast system likely to satisfy a good number of retail buyers. It doesn't have the chops for an Editors' Choice, but it's a worthy runner-up.
Pros
  • High-quality 1080p display
  • Good battery life
Cons
  • Lackluster graphics performance
  • No Thunderbolt 3 port
