HP Pavilion 15t laptop review

Like the Pavilion x360, the HP 15t Touch is pretty much neck-and-neck with the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 Series as far as performance goes. Unlike the Pavilion x360 though, the 15t Touch’s benchmarks really do tell the whole story.

The Pavilion x360 is a perfectly serviceable machine, but a lot of its benchmark performance comes from a zippy 128GB SSD drive—allowing it to seemingly “outperform” the Inspiron 15 5000 even though it’s only packing a Core M-5Y10c processor.

HP pavilion laptop review

HP 15t Touch is overall the best sub-$500 laptop. Other laptops come close—the Dell Inspiron 15 5000 and HP’s own Pavilion x360 11T are both great all-around machines, and the Toshiba Satellite C55-C obviously takes the performance crown.

The 15t Touch, on the other hand, outperforms the Inspiron 15 5000 in certain tests because it basically is the Inspiron 15 5000. Except slightly better. Under the hood, the 15t Touch packs an Intel Core i3-5010U processor at 2.10GHz (compared to the Inspiron 15 5000’s i3-5005U at 2GHz).

Aside from that, the 15t Touch and the Inspiron 15 5000 are identical—integrated Intel HD 5500 graphics, 6GB of RAM, and a 5,400 RPM hard drive (though the 15t Touch’s is only 750GB as opposed to the Inspiron 15 5000’s 1TB drive).
