Versatile laptop focused on gaming and creation, the HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec1189nf is a gaming laptop capable of running a number of games thanks to its NVIDIA Turing GeForce GTX 1650 Ti graphics card which also accelerates processing like the processor AMD Ryzen 5 Hexa Core. Its 15-inch Full HD IPS anti-glare screen is adorned with a frequency of 144Hz which enhances fluidity in games. This laptop PC designed to play and create also benefits from a fast SSD storage which reinforces its responsiveness, a backlit keyboard but also a USB-C connection.

Chassis, connectors, screen of the HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec1189nf
With its frame with angular lines Celestial black logo and chrome green paint finish, this computer rechargeable to 50% in 45 minutes has a resolutely gamer look and nevertheless original.
This creator-oriented gaming laptop PC is well-equipped in terms of connectivity with its USB-C, its Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi ac modules to communicate and connect remotely wirelessly, its Ethernet and audio ports, its practical HDMI video output to connect it to a TV or a monitor for example as well as its 2 USBs including 1 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if USB 3.0 peripherals are connected to it.
The chiclet keyboard can obviously be backlit, which is useful for distinguishing its keys in the event of reduced ambient light.
The screen will be of particular interest to gamers because it adopts a refresh rate of 144Hz higher than the standard 60Hz, which improves fluidity in games. The screen is also very suitable for displaying videos and more generally High Definition content thanks to its 16: 9 format and precise Full HD definition. Thanks to its IPS technology, the screen also has large vertical and horizontal viewing angles. But its colorimetry is average, below that of more high-end IPS panels. In any case, as it is anti-reflective, the screen is also more readable than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg outdoors).
Performance, battery life of the HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec1189nf
The HP Pavilion Gaming 15-ec1189nf is a versatile 15-inch laptop PC with a gaming and creative focus.
It is based on an AMD Hexa Core APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Ryzen 5 4600H Renoir processor and 8 GB of RAM. As a result, the general performance that it delivers is able to satisfy a maximum of users.
Creators will particularly appreciate using this duo to achieve faster processing than with a Quad Core processor, especially in areas that require a lot of CPU resources and take advantage of multi-cores, for example in photo editing, video editing or 3D rendering.
In addition, processing is even more accelerated by the dedicated graphics card GeForce GTX 1650 Ti onboard NVIDIA Turing, and this under software using GPU computing power (eg Sony Vegas, Adobe Photoshop / Premiere).
Thanks to the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti, many games can also run on this gaming laptop as long as you agree to settings under the opus demanding in graphic resources.
On-board NVIDIA Optimus technology activates the GeForce GTX 1650 Ti when the performance of the AMD Radeon Vega 6 solution housed within the Ryzen 5 Hexa Core processor is insufficient to perform the requested tasks.
More efficient than the UHD 630 of Intel processors, the Vega 6 is preferred as far as possible because it is energy efficient which promotes battery life.
This is about 7 hours on battery in light use.
The GeForce GTX 1650 Ti is actually enabled by Optimus to do graphics work deemed too heavy for the Vega 6, such as gaming. With either of these graphics solutions, you can obviously watch photos and videos.
On the storage side, HP here chooses an SSD which clearly reinforces the responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis compared to a hard drive.
Concretely, thanks to the SSD, for example, we get faster on the cards of online games than with a simple hard drive, and we get starts / stops, treatments and launches of software / games much faster.
It must be said that an SSD is much faster than a hard drive but also more robust, less energy-consuming and silent.
Here we are dealing with a 512 GB SSD, a capacity similar to the standard of hard disks.
If this turns out to be too fair, we can obviously use an external storage unit such as a USB-C / USB 3.0 device to take advantage of fast transfers.
Fairly easily transportable for a portable PC oriented game and creation thanks to its finesse and its weight contained at less than 2 kg, this computer is heard and heats up in case of strong demands (eg: treatments, games) but it remains controlled for this PC type.
