The HP Pavilion 15t-eg300 does the bare minimum for its display; it focuses its energy on being a reliable and efficient laptop that can get the job done. HP is currently selling the 15.6-inch HP Pavilion Laptop 15t-eg300 for $549.99 (originally $999.99) after a $450 discount. Building this laptop from scratch on the HP website would run you $1,129.99.
This laptop launched in 2023, but the model has been around for much longer. The 15t-eg300 brings Windows 11 Home OS, an Intel Core i7-1355U, 16 GB of RAM, 256 GB of storage, an antiglare 15.6-inch FHD screen with a 1920×1080 resolution that gets to 250 nits of brightness, a 720p HD camera, and a backlit keyboard with numeric keypad. It runs Wi-Fi 6 and can charge to 50% in 45 minutes.
This is the most basic model of the 15t-eg300. What sets it apart is the fact that it’s an i7 and 16 RAM laptop for $549.99. This laptop isn’t for anyone looking to get a beautiful image to do photo or video editing; the 1920×1080 resolution and brightness are very basic. It’s more of a workhorse laptop that can get heavy loads of work done on time. The 256 GB storage is not the best, either, but that’s not a dealbreaker these days with so many options of storage cloud and external hard drives with 1TB going for under $60.
Another thing that sets it apart from the rest is the widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio on a larger 15.6-inch display. The 16:9 ratio is usually found on entry laptops with smaller screens and is uncommon on a 15.6-inch laptop, but it works on the 15t-eg300, if you want to use it to work and watch Netflix.
