HP Pavilion Aero 13 Review - Lighter than a MacBook Air! (Only 950g)

[@andthemortals]

I watched a bunch of reviews and yours was by FAR the most informative and unbiased out of them all. I appreciate it bro.

[@Nokta.08]

Currently watching this video with it. Overall it was pretty good you get what you paid for which is portable and lightweight. I highly recommend this laptop if you are a student who takes a course that doesn't need a heavy usage of laptop EG any Microsoft 365 software and light editing for presentation but still want some the of the juice and portability.

[@MOBHouse]

exactly mate! Those are my thoughts exactly. I just really don't like the big logo. but hey. I guess my HP bar is too full. #geddit

[@jdmmi]

how long does the battery last and how is the trackpad?

[@triciahastings6562]

Any thoughts on whether it's possible to edit with premiere pro or da Vinci resolve..maybe even Sony Vegas would suffice..i would only be working with 1080p.Your thoughts would be greatly appreciated..thanks

Your reviews are pretty awesome all the best, you're gonna do good.

[@evsile0]

The way you review and the efforts you put into making the video are absolutely masterful and artistic. I really loved it. By the way, I'm looking for a laptop; I don't know which one I should go for. My main priority will be good build quality with metal, multitasking, and also coding.

[@tannenguitar]

Macbook air m1 tilts the same way! So be honest :) Nice review!

[@ayushagarwal9530]

thanks for the detailed review I am confused between this hp pavilion aero(800 usd), macbook m1(906 usd) or mi notebook pro+(613 usd), for software engineering workload and some Netflix my priorities were mainly keyboard,display,weight and a minimum of 16gb ram(either up-gradable or already soldered, never used macOS so don't know about its requirements) (prices are after exchange and other offers applied)

[@MOBHouse]

Going Mac or Windows really much depends on what you do. If you're doing more enterprise work, then windows. Otherwise, programmers seem to like Mac because it is Unix based. If weight is a concern, go for this. If not the MacBook air is a good option, too.

[@br5625]

Cheers mate 👌 one of the best reviews I have seen so far… today I just have order one aero for my self, work on the go. Current price is 499e in Germany, discounted price and for that price it is a 💎

Nice review just subbed. Dell has this on sale for $529 for 16MB/256GB model. Seems like a good deal. Im on an old MBA but i like what i see in Windows 11 and thought this would be a great option to go with.

[@danielsacilotto3196]

I've been reading/hearing very conflicting reports about battery life for this. Some reviews report 5-6h of battery life in standard usage, others are claiming 10-12h.

[@vivekdubey998]

Did you get the truth? Cause im going to buy this in a few days. Should i buy it or be concerned for the battery?

[@akshay5569]

@@vivekdubey998 have you bought it??how is it

[@danielsacilotto6235]

I did, I would say it is somewhere between 7-8h average, with general use browsing, word processing, file converting, social media, some multimedia, and at 75%-100% brightness. If one diminishes brightness to 50% one could probably get 8.5-10h.

[@jorgeritmo23]

Really great video and review! Do you think with the 8gb ram spec will run Starcraft in the highest resolution?

If the price same, would you buy hp or m1 2020 air ?

[@MOBHouse]

Depends. I'm a pc guy so I'd go HP. But... If you're flexible, the macbook air is still a good buy

[@sorciere_de_la_foret]

Thanks for the much needed review! I am joining Graduate school soon and I was looking for a laptop that can handle my research work but not be a back pain issue at the same time (my old one was around 2.7kgs). The only game I play and occasionally, is Minecraft and only sometimes I have to edit stuff (photos videos etc). Do you think this laptop would be able to handle these on a decent battery life? Would you say that the hinge tilt is a deal breaker for the price? What about the keyboard typing comfort? I currently own a 15-in Lenovo Ideapad 300 and the keyboard is really comfy; it has a good and even 'press' (? dunno the technical term) so I wanna make sure I'm getting a laptop with a keyboard that would be comfortable and ergonomic to type on for hours. Would you suggest I take this or look for something else?

[@dosakuyangmanis]

hi, have you bought this aero 13? yesterday i bought aero 13, sure the keyboard is nice and comfort too, for batterylife this laptop can handle your work at 8-9h i guest. yes take this one for work (fastest processor, perfect sreen big ratio, fast charging, lightest&thin, best for 13" laptop)

If you have to choose between the HP Aero 13 with AMD Ryzen 7 5800U 16 gb RAM 512 SSD and the Macbook Air M1 8gb RAM and 256 gb SSD, which one would you choose? Especially having in mind that in my country the prices of those products are quite similar, being the MacBook air 150 dollars more expensive. I’m thinking in start video editions in the future, so I will be very grateful if you can give me your advice. Thank you!

[@OnlyCitrus]

Nah man HP really messed up the backlighting for the keyboard. It just gives headaches in mixed lighting environments

[@MOBHouse]

I don't find it to be much of an issue for the most part. Would I have preferred if the whole thing was black? Yea maybe. Is this a deal breaker? I don't think so. I leave the backlight off always until I work in the dark.

[@MOBHouse]

But maybe having a blue-ish backlighting woulda worked better.

[@OnlyCitrus]

@@MOBHouse I have a silver pavillion. It's a nightmare Uber mixed lighting situations. In my class, I have to turn on the backlight to even see the keys. But it's more visible in a different weather inside the same class. It's just so stupid. A colour with more contract would solved this problem

[@Angultra]

Agreed, considering the white version just for that reason

[@robinwatson4282]

​@@OnlyCitrusYeah, the white version doesn't have that issue. Silver is a dumb choice.

[@theguyfromNE]

Does the base model also has keyboard lighting ?

[@pabloantxia]

Is zenbook 13 oled much better than this?

[@jorgehmosquera8402]

update?

[@watjes]

so wait, it doesn't charge on type c?

[@ashy969]

Love you for that keyboard light comment. I never get either why the keyboard colour matters with backlight. I mean, you are either in dark or not. WTF :D A black keyboard would have looked uglier. There! I have this laptop and it is pretty good for the price. Portability being the key, of course. I have to carry a work laptop (ThinkP.) and another for school (cause security issues), so weight is key. For programming and general use this little baby gets me covered. Special points for the environmentally friendly thoughts from HP (materials used). Also, if you are not in US (so the bitten fruit products cost waaaay more while PCs are often on discount), this laptop becomes an even better deal. Even now, almost a year later.

I'm a mechanical engineer college student and am thinking of getting: -ASUS Zenbook 13 OLED ($1399) i5-1136G7, 16gb ram and 512ssd -HP Pavilion Aero 13 ($1299) Ryzen 5 5600U, 16gb ram and 512ssd Which one would you choose?

Both very similar but if you're doing Solidworks and the like, you might want to get a gaming laptop with a discrete GPU instead. It will be bulkier but more powerful.

When you turn on the key backlight, does it stay on (like Thinkpads), or does it turn off after a short period (like HP EliteBook) and is this configurable?

Power settings should be adjustable. regardless, even if they turn off, they should turn back on when you use the keyboard.
