You'll also be able to upgrade to Windows 11 for free. You can also pick between an AMD Ryzen 5 5600U or Ryzen 7 5800U processor with 8GB or 16GB of memory (it's onboard and can't be upgraded later, so get the 16GB if you can afford it) and a choice of a 256GB, 512GB or 1TB SSD for storage. However, the colors are $10 or $15 extra so it's pretty much a wash. Speaking of upgrades, my configuration didn't come with a backlit keyboard it's a $10 upgrade if you get an Aero 13 in silver, but is included with the other three color options HP offers. The keyboard is comfortable and spacious but the silver keys aren't always the easiest to read. It's a generally excellent display, certainly better than I'd expect to find on past Pavilion models, and if you want the higher-resolution panel, it's only $30 extra. While it's rated for 400 nits, the brightness actually measured 495 nits in my testing. I tested the former and it covers 100% sRGB color gamut and 81% of Adobe RGB and P3 color gamuts. The Aero 13 can be configured with either a 1920x1200 or 2560x1600-pixel display (neither is a touchscreen, though). It also weighs nearly a pound less.įor instance, the MacBook Air has a 2560x1600-pixel, 13.3-inch display with 400-nit brightness and P3 color gamut coverage.
The Pavilion Aero 13 doesn't quite match the fit and finish of Apple's least expensive laptop, but it comes close and offers some things you just don't get on the Air.
When it comes to 13-inch lightweight laptops, Apple's MacBook Air is the unofficial benchmark - at least in terms of the design and features you'll typically find at or around $1,000. The Aero 13 is available in sliver (pictured), rose gold, warm gold and white. USB-C (10Gbps), USB-A (x2, 5Gbps), HDMI 2.0 out AC in, combo headphone jack
