The AMD-based Pavilion 15z is inexpensive and less expensive than its Intel-based cousin, the Pavilion 15t. The Baseline Pavilion 15z currently only costs $ 590 and has an AMD Ryzen 7 3700U, 12 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD. The Ryzen 7 is on par with the Intel Core i7, and you can usually find Core i5-based systems at this price. You will also find similarly expensive laptops with 8 GB RAM and a 256 GB SSD. 12 GB RAM and 512 GB SSD storage are therefore a blessing. This model is customizable, and I would spend $ 60 to upgrade the 15.6-inch display’s resolution from 1,366 x 768 to 1,920 x 1,080 pixels, which still brings the price down to a very reasonable $ 650 would. Since the outbreak of the corona virus interferes with normal life and shipping times, the Pavilion 15z currently has a shipping date of May 22nd.

The basic configuration of the 17.3-inch gaming laptop from HP costs $ 1,300 and provides a 9th generation Intel Core i7-9750H CPU, 16 GB RAM, a 512 GB SSD and Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Ti graphics . That’s a good price for this line of components, but I would humbly suggest upgrading – dropping the previous generation GeForce GTX graphics in favor of the current generation GeForce RTX graphics. In particular, I would equip the Omen 17t with the GeForce RTX 2060, the entry-level GPU of the RTX series, which only adds $ 130 to the bill for a total of $ 1,430. HP currently estimates that the Omen 17T will ship on May 20.
