For the starting version. Each part is measured the same way for every laptop (processor and graphics from benchmark results) and moves up or down with what reviewers praise or criticise.

Pros

  • Under 1 kg with a sturdy magnesium body
  • Bright matte 16:10 screen with full sRGB colour
  • Close to seven hours on a charge
  • Fast SSD and plenty of speed for office work
  • Very light at about 950 g
  • Bright, colour-accurate screen with no flicker
  • Strong multi-core speed for its class

Cons

  • Some flex near the keyboard
  • Small trackpad
  • Only 60 Hz
  • Speed drops in long heavy tasks or games
  • Speakers lack bass
  • Lid and hinge wobble, body less stiff than premium laptops
  • Clickpad feels sticky
  • DigitApr 2023

    Tested the Indian 13-be2047AU with Ryzen 7 7735U, 16 GB, 1 TB: one of the lightest laptops around, quick for daily work with a bright, accurate screen, but it slows down under long heavy loads.

  • NotebookcheckAug 2021

    Tested the 2021 13-be0097nr (Ryzen 7 5800U) in the same chassis: a big step up for the Pavilion line, giving speed, a good screen and very low weight for the money, though it feels less rigid than premium rivals.

  • Tom's GuideMar 2022

    Tested the 2021 version with Ryzen 7 5800U, 16 GB, 512 GB (US, $839): an Editor's Choice all-rounder for people who carry their laptop a lot, lasting over 10 hours in web browsing.
