HP is launching the Pavilion Aero, its lightest customer laptop in India today. The Aero weighs just below 1kg and but, packs lots of energy inside its compact magnesium aluminum chassis. Basically, it is a more premium version of the Pavilion 13 we reviewed lately. The new laptop brings lots of upgrades which includes a brighter 16:10 show, AMD processors and a bevy of colour choices which includes ceramic white, all-natural silver and rose gold. I am truly curious about its battery life although.
That stated, it is impressive that in spite of bringing so lots of upgrades, HP has priced the Aero really, really aggressively. The Pavilion is a mass-marketplace item right after all. The entry-level model with AMD Ryzen 5 5600U has been priced at Rs 79,999. Those searching for an even more highly effective machine and are prepared to splurge for it can choose an AMD Ryzen 7 5800U-powered Aero for Rs 94,999.

HP Pavilion Aero laptop style and features
The large USP of the Aero is its style and kind aspect. It appears precisely like the Pavilion 13 (2021) but swaps the plastic with metal and introduces a slew of new colour choices which includes white, sliver and rose gold. It weighs just 970g.
The panel is receiving a a great deal-required refresh as properly. Like the Pavilion 13, the Aero is also a 13.3-inch laptop with a WUXGA (1920×1200 pixels) resolution but it can get brighter (400 nits), is seemingly more colour correct (one hundred% sRGB) and it has a new 16:10 aspect ratio that must assistance in productivity tasks. Moreover, it has slimmer bezels entailing in a close to 90 % screen-to-body ratio.
Under the hood, the Aero packs either a Ryzen 5 5600U or Ryzen 7 5800U processor with integrated Radeon graphics. This is paired with 16GB DDR4-3200 MHz RAM and 512 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD. Connectivity choices contain 1 SuperSpeed USB Type-C 10Gbps (USB Power Delivery, DisplayPort 1.4, HP Sleep and Charge), 2 SuperSpeed USB Type-A 5Gbps, 1 HDMI 2., 1 AC sensible pin and a headphone/microphone combo. The laptop is rated to provide up to 10 hours and 30 minutes of battery life.
Rounding off the package are dual speakers, Wi-Fi 6, 720p webcam and committed fingerprint reader.
The Pavilion Aero runs Windows 10 Home correct out of the gate and will be upgradable to Windows 11 later this year.
