HP offers multiple ranges of laptops, and some of its most popular offerings include the Envy and Pavilion lines.
Keep reading to find out all the key differences between these ranges, so you can decide which one is better suited to you.
Hp Envy vs HP Pavilion
Both the HP Envy and Pavilion ranges emphasise productivity, meaning that you probably won’t find either laptop kitted out with the most powerful GPUs, although they can still be capable of entry-level content creation and light gaming.
The biggest difference between the two ranges is the price point. HP Pavilion laptops are generally cheaper, with a quick look online showing the laptops to generally cost between £500 and £800. In comparison, the Envy laptops are considered to be more premium, with a typical price range between £700 and £1500.
Generally, the Envy range features more powerful processors, although this will be dependent on the release date of each laptop. For the 12th Generation of Intel Core, HP mostly uses the P-Series chips, which are designed for “performance thin and light laptops” and use a 28W design.
Meanwhile, most Pavilion laptops are limited to Intel’s U-Series of processors, which aren’t quite as powerful with up to a 15W design, and are designed for “modern thin and light laptops”. Some Pavilion laptops are even powered by Intel Pentium Gold chips, offering a Chromebook-level performance that’s only capable of basic tasks.
You’re also more likely to find more high-end features with Envy laptops, with the likes of 4K resolution, OLED panels, discrete GPUs and more.
Both laptops can be found in x360 configurations, meaning that they have a convertible design. This can be helpful for those that like to use a stylus with their laptop screen and can make content creation more seamless. Touchscreen also features in both lineups, giving users more versatility when picking out a new laptop.
Overall, the HP Envy series is what you should aim for if you’re going to be engaging in more intensive productivity tasks or want to work on some light creative work. The HP Pavilion line is still more than serviceable for office or educational work, but it likely won’t offer as much power as its sibling in a lot of scenarios.
