What attracted me to the HP Pavilion laptop and motivated me to buy it

I have had a laptop for more than 5 years. But in the last couple of years, right in front of our eyes, it began to lose its relevance, all the tighter coping with the tasks. Therefore, buying a new one was a decided affair.

Criterias of choice

Since the laptop was not intended for any highly specialized purposes, there was no fundamental difference which one to buy. For me, they are all the same, only they differed in color.

Therefore, when buying a new laptop, I put forward only two criteria:

1. The price shouldn't be much more than $ 500.

2. The manufacturer had to be heard. For example, "Asus" or "HP".

The technical parameters of the laptop will still be significantly higher than that of my old one, purchased in 2013.

My choice

Since I have been dealing with HP office equipment for a long time, and there were no disappointments yet, it was decided to try to find the cheapest laptop of this brand. Moreover, some acquaintances recently bought a Hewlett Packard laptop for a little more than five hundred dollars. The store offered a suitable option, "HP Pavilion 15-cw1015ur".

What i bought

It is not worth listing all the parameters of a laptop, everyone can find them on the Internet. Moreover, I do not really understand these characteristics.

Therefore, I focus on other things:

1. There are only two USB sockets (not enough), but both are "C".

2. There is a card reader for SD memory cards.

3. There is a Type C socket.

4. There is a headphone jack.

5. There is only one built-in camera, the front one.

6. There is a slot for a lock (for attaching the laptop to fixed objects using a special cable lock).

In addition to these, there are other sockets that I have never had to use in other devices (therefore they are of no value to me): HDMI and others.

I would also like to note some of the features of this laptop model:

1. There is a backlight of signs (numbers, letters and other designations) on the keys.

2. The laptop is very thin. Its height is 2 cm (for comparison, the old one has such a dimension of more than 3 cm).

3. Light. Its weight is 1.8 kg (for comparison, the old one is more than 3 kg).

4. The laptop does not have an optical drive.

5. Non-removable battery.

That is, some features are clearly positive, while others (like the absence of a disk drive, battery stationarity) - depending on which side you look at.
