A powerfulll current genration i7 cpu combined with a dadicated gpu - on paper the 15.6 inch hp pavilion seems lije a very desirable notebook . a slow conventional hard drive a dim display panel and the short battry life are the some drawbacks . ips display , backlight keybord , decent performancr overall port distribution , dadicated GPU. I will always been a fan of hp laptops so u m going to recomend a quite strongly . It literlally have everything you need out of a high perpormance laptop, all the was done to dvd drve , touchscreen and superior display super sound quality . I think it is best in its price . And looks .
