Hp Pavilion 14 11Th Gen Intel Core I5 14 Inches Fhd Micro-Edge, Anti-Glare Display Laptop (16Gb/512Gb Ssd/Windows 10 Home/2Gb Nvidia Mx450 Graphics/Fpr/Alexa Built-In/B&O Audio/Natural Silver/1.41 Kg)

The processor speed mentioned in amazon listing shows is 4.2 GHz whereas actual speed received is 2.4 GhxThat is why I have not given 5 stars. Pls someone explain me how this happened.

I bought this laptop during the sale just before Indepedence day sale. I have basic perspectives. My old Asus I3 was over 4 years old and was becoming slow. Coming from IT background, I wanted to purchase a laptop with good RAM, that will help me in my academics and I wanted the laptop to be moderately lighweight having provision for basic gaming. After extensive research through Amazon, finally I narrowed down to this laptop becuase it also had dedicated MX450 graphics on top of Intel Iris Xe dedicated graphics.The laptop worked well as long as basic browsing happened. the moment i started playing the videos, it will heat up, and most importantly, when I started doing light gaming, the laptop will become a baked oven, the fan will stop and boom, it will die. I tried changing settings, modifying power management in Settings, nothing would work.Now by light gaming, I mean "Tell Me Why" (2019 game). I do a lot of gaming in my PS4, so I can say with conviction that decision making games like these won't make much use of hardware graphics. I tried Alan Wake from 2011, the result was the same :( Both games were tried through Steam, not pirated ones.Alos, the battery would die in 2.5 - 3 hours on normal use.I called Amazon customer care and this is where they had been trully brilliant. I was initially told that the replacement policy is over by few hours, but they evetually understood my problem and scheduled a technician visit post which, they promised to replace the laptop, through the extended window. the technican delayed the process, again I called up Amazon, this time they went above and beyond and they staright away issued the replacement. Thanks a bunch to Amazon.Once the replacement came, I could see that the power chord was a different one, hence battery management was better. But the laptop heat issue won't go away., while playing games. Hence I had to bring in a laptop cooler to suffice it.Hence, long story cut short - HP has build a product to capture the market well, becuase if you compare with other brands, you won't get a configuration like this, that too with 1.41kg, reminding you that this is not a gaming laptop. But, while doing so, this product has undergone poor testing resulting in not so great quality.Pros:1. Great Display. I like watching movies through VLC, or Netflix /Prime, downlaoded through WQindows App Store.2. Might Sound cliche, but the WIndows 10 is super fast.3. The boot time is between 8-10 secs.4. Comes with Office 2019, just need to activate it.5. I have tried few academics related software and basic video editing, it really works well.6. 16GB RAM is a blessing.7. 2 GB RAM does support basic gaming, at least doing well for my replaced laptop.Cons:1. While playing game, get yourself prepared to face lot of pain. I had repalced my laptop once, and now bought a cooler to suppress the heat while playing. On "HWMonitor" software, the average browsing temperature of the laptop is between 55c-60c and while playing game it is between 72c-78c, goving beyond 80c at times. With the cooler on, it is aorund 50c-55c for normal use and browsing, while 65c-70/71c while playing the games which I have mentioned above.2. Sound quality is s big let down.3. HP Service center is poor. I reached out to HP assistant and they told me clearly thats it's a hardware issue, plz ask Amazon to replace it. Also the waiting time during 2AM IST, is about 45 mins. I walked down to a HP store, they took their hands off, stating I am the first customer complaining about this model :D4. Battery backup with the replacement for normal browsing is still around 3.5 hours.As a user, you have 3 choices - 1) if you prefer hardcore gaming, go for gaming laptop. 2) If gaming is not a preference, there is another model that's around 5k less from HP, with just Integratred Intel Iris xe, please go ahead with that. 3) Someone like me, who wants light gaming and general purpose laptop, you may opt out for this as the other brands with same config will cost you 10-15k more "BUT" be prepared to face consequences and limitations. Hope this helps :)

After 10 days of buying this laptop, I am facing issue with its speakers. The speakers are not working anymore. Earlier also I faced similar issue, but that was resolved after restarting the laptop. But this time I restarted multiple times but still not working. The diagnostic tool doesn't diagnose anything. Have written to HP support team, let's see if they can help here.Battery LifeWith normal usage of video watching, the laptop shows low battery in approx 2 hours, as against claim of around 6 hours.HP Service CenterHP Service center is too slow. I bought this on October 8 and raised an issue on October 26, since then my issues are not resolved yet. My laptop has been taken by the service center. Not sure how many days they will take to replace the mother board.

Pros: Fast, Adequate battery, Display clarity, light weight ( Subjective to individuals), Sound is awesome, NVIDIA boosts it's capabilities.Cons: No Touch screen, SSD could have been been better with 1TB.

Good things first. Super light, snappy fast, updated to windows 11 in just two days of purchase, and apt for media consumption and office work. Now for negatives. Costly, battery life sucks crazy (just about 4 hrs when in good luck), and an irritating issue with audio codes that one can't use speakers at times after booting up, needing a restart to get it going and finally bluetooth connectivity issues with headsets (tried a few by the way before I made this remark). Since I was one of the first few to buy this Laptop when no reviews were around, so blindly went with specs and got a hammer hard on my head now. For a better price and good specs, pls look elsewhere and keep away from this crap.

Hello allFirstly I'll like to tell that this is one of best product from hp that's out there. I went with 2gb graphic card one. Activating office is little tricky, else everything works on getgoIf you don't want graphic card then you can go for ryzen 5 version which is around 20k cheaper than this one.Best laptop in 14 inch category, period!

Best Laptop At this price range Display quality is awesome and overall laptop I am giving 5/5 But there one thing that is about battery according to specifications of laptop I should get 6 to 7 hours of battery backup but I am getting only 2 to 3 hours only else everything is fine.
