I got the gaming pavilion and added another 8gb ram chip and a 1tb hdd to go with the already installed ssd and I must say this pc is handling pretty much any game I throw at it. With ultra high demanding games I just adjust the settings down a tad(not much at all) and the run smooth as can be. 60fps or higher. 😉💜🌈👍✊😛
Paid 750$ for Pavilion with 9300h, 8GB Ram, 256SSD and 144hz monitor. Not bad! Upgraded to 16GB Ram buying a 8GB stick on used market for only 30$, and a 1TB HDD for just 20$. All in all, 800$ for this laptop is really good value for money.
RDR2 is a very demanding gmae that even the best laptops barely can handle. I hope you have at least GTX 1660Ti MQ configuration with i7 so you can play RDR2 at low mixed with medium settings with ultra texture details while having 60+ fps
@@TechFinds this laptop is easy enough to upgrade if need be. Thanks for the info. I checked the RDR2 qualifications for PC and my model passed the test. We'll see?

@@peterhulk7794 one thing I can say is that you can't go wrong with 2019 Helios 300. It's actually the best choice in this price range. But it's always good to do some research, maybe you'll find other laptop that will suit you better
I have predator helios 300, it's been 2 years, no problem still now! Working fine and and also I got windows 11 update! The only thing is missing that is thunderbolt 3
Thanks for the review helped me to decide to go with the Acer mainly for factory undervolting and the semi metal chassis. I have dealt with under a grand laptops for forever and most time it’s the chassis that falls apart on me so I wanted durable.
Can you suggest me which is good only for editing not gaming.editing in adobe software's like after effects and photo shop. 3d in blender. I'm really stuck in choosing a good editing laptop. A little help would be appreciated =).which one shall I choose.
I have the older version of the Pavilion 15 gaming laptop with Ryzen processor and when i am gaming my temps rent more than 50 degrees ( i use Ryzen controller) so decently i would choose HP
Thank you for very informative video. Just one remark about loudness, 9:28 you're saying that Predator is 1/3 louder than HP (43 dB vs 60 dB). Decibel scale is logarithmic and not linear. Easy to calculate estimation says each +3dB is double as loud. 43 dB is relatively quiet, while 60 dB is loud as a normal conversation. That said, if the figures are correct, HP is astonishingly quiet for the performance it has.
I’m not gonna lie, the green gets me. Even though the specs matter, I can’t say no to what catches my eye. I’m going with the pavilion for my next laptop! The specs are good enough for me and definitely better than my old laptop by far. 🙌🏼
While I'm historically an Acer fan and have been a fan of their predator lineup (like this helios), recently a friend asking for recommendations made me look at the pavilion and I gotta say, I like the green. And it's design, especially the rear vents is super appealing

I'm buying the Pavilion . i have the 2018 Helios and it's good with the i78750h and 1050ti. But it's also hard to find a good balance of way too bright or way too dull. And it's like Acer just forgets about older models all together as there hasn't been a single update for a year. Where as my older Pavilion constantly had bios updates etc etc. And the Helios is so noisy while playing it's hard to not hear it while even wearing headphones. The Pavilion is throttled down but the quietest noise levels and coolest temps i have ever heard of . Plus here it's a good 400 bucks cheaper. Hmm 1700 plus tax vs 1350 plus tax - 50 bucks coupon code. And quieter i'll take the Pavilion
Looks like Pavilion is a good choice for you. But here I had 2019 Helios which is way better than 2018 Predator. However it's still pretty loud and we don't know how about updates in the future.
@@TechFinds Good comparison by the way !!! Had a HP desktop years ago when there big draw was a tv card / media ctr as the big draw . Paid like 3,000 in the 90's for that.

Fast forward a few brands of laptops like Acer / Asus / Lenovo later . Saw a Hp Pavilion with a Ryzen processor and vega card. With other decent components. Remembering how my 1st experience was with Hp so i hesitated . But surprisingly for the price was a nice laptop and my 1st back lit keyboard . Now i have the 17" Helios and if not for the 8750H wouldn't of bought a Intel . Since Intel just kind of rode on their success, and cranked out the same old same old rehashed chips. Wasn't till Ryzen got them actually trying again they improved. Anyway knew about the Omen for awhile and just stumbled on the Pavilion gaming Laptop . And for the price from Hp itself , and your video as much as i would want the latest Predator the 17" is just too much . Don't think i'd enjoy a 15" anymore. And the 17.3's seem to not suffer as much screen bleed. And the Pavilion is right at that threshold i'm willing to pay for a laptop. i'll most likely only want a couple of years before wanting something newer . Thanks for the video , i want quiet as trying to play a game in a coffee shop or whatever. Is annoying to anyone nearby ha ha
Nice video, i finally bought the helios with an rtx2060 but with 17'' screen which has even better cooling than the 15''. TBH the helios 300 seems to be unbeatable in that range of price.
I have a Pavilion dk0001la with core i5 9300h and gtx 1050 3GB 8GB of ram 256GB Samsung PM981 Pcie 3.0 x4 and 1TB HDD, and I did undervolting to -0.135 and power limits to 70w and 40w, it´s pretty cool even I gaming for thre or four hours, max temp its 86ºc CPU.
Pretty good temperatures. I had i7 which had 30W power limit set. I've heard that i5 models run hotter so that's probably because they didn't set the limit.
Hi TechFind, I discovered your channel and I just love it. One q, I heard that older versions of pavilion gaming were overheating, can you confirm if the Ryzen 3550H series (HP Pavilion - 15-ec0001ax), is one of those previous models?
I checked this model and to be honest on pictures it doesn't look like the previous generation, but it's not the one I had too. The model you mentioned seems to not have exhausts on the back and at all which is concerning. I see it for the first time
@@momonator4 about 900 euros, I know I could've gotten a very nice pc setup for this price tag, but I couldn't get a pc in the first place because of logistics problems in my house, still happy with what I have now, runs everything smoothly :D
Hey! Nice video. I'm just wondering, if I buy the 1650 Pavilion model with only the NVMe SSD, will it still come with the hard drive bracket and connector? I would like to add a HDD myself as I have a spare one.
Here in UAE, costs of laptops are as HP pavilion with 1660ti q max : 1100$ Lenovo y540 with 1660ti : 1300$ Acer Helios with 1660ti : 1450$. So which one is better choice for long-term investment? Thank you
I think that Legion or Predator would be a good choice. I made a comparison between these laptops too so you can check it out. If you can afford more i recommend Helios tho
Maybe yes, maybe not. Nonetheless if someone wanna see how one laptop compares to the other, there is a video. It's more for information than drawing the winner.
@@TechFinds Perhaps collusion is a bit harsh and difficult to prove but 'Planned Obsolescence' is a common business practice among manufacturers of non-perpetual products. The problem I have is with the software as well has the hardware. It used to be 'Perpetual Licensing' software was considered a given. But now they've coded software to become obsolete after so long rendering the original hardware obsolete because the new forthcoming software won't work on the old hardware. Sorry... just needing to vent... tired of these tech companies exploiting their control over lifestyles. Carry on... lol
I don't know if you're still reading comments. Just bought the HP Pavillion, and my only concern is the hinges breaking or something of the sort. Are they delicate? What would you recommend to keep the hinges well? Any advice is appreciated, and I subscribed too!
I still answer, but sometimes i don't get notification of every comment. ;) Yep, as Jessica said. I've never had problems with this kind of hinge if it comes to durability, but you better open it from the middle part, not the corners of the screen as it bends more than in laptops with hinges on the sides.
Hi! I was thinking of getting the hp pavilion as my laptop for content creating/digital media art. Also, I do play games, but not that quite heavy as the others would usually do. Do you think this laptop is suitable and can do longer screen time/multitasking? And, I'm kind of worried with the thermals like what if it heats up? Thanks in advance!
Which laptop are u talking about? I think that both will be good for your needs, but if the price difference is not very big i recommend getting Predator as it's better overall.
I have a similar concern I want to get a laptop to do higher resolution editing on photoshop, illustrator, arrange and zbrush. But I can't decide on which is more reliable out of the two laptops and doesn't overheat. I'm going to get a 16gb ram version but which laptop runs cooler for long hours of work and is reliable? With hp previously I had black blank screen issues and blue screen of death hence I'm a little concerned whether I should go for hp again? Also do you recommend buying a cooling portable fan for either laptop?
I have hp pavillion gaming 15 white color cause: 1 - it's cheaper. 2 - good for editing documents, write down thesis, coredraw, blender. 3- listen to music, movies (the sound is pretty good). 4- good camera for online clases. 5- good for some ocasional gaming. 6- it's elegant, modest, doesn't look like a pc gaming.
Have the Pavilion 2018 for almost 2 years now and I think the screen flex is the only big disadvantage here. It's so frightening every time you open it or especially when someone else does....
To be honest, ur content is surprisely amazing. Keep uo good work and i believe u ll get more follower. Btw dude i still confused with hp pavilion gaming 15, i know dat it doesnt have fan speed control. So how to solve this? Should i use paste thermal or do i need cooling fan? Does use cooling fan will effective in this laptop mate? Thanks.
Pavilion doesn't have fan control but fans of course speed up when it gets hot. In my case it had also cpu power limit so the temperatures were good. If u see that the laptop is overheating you can use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste. You can also undervolt the CPU but only when it doesn't have limited CPU power. For i5 and i7 45W is default but my i7 had 30W limit.
Hey man thanks a lot for the review Just wondering I am planning to buy the HP pavilion with AMD Ryzen 5 3550H with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics and NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 graphics card or the Intel core i5 one? Both the same price but which one should I go for?
@@TechFinds we basically I am using it for Autocad. Do you know the software Autodesk Inventor? yea for that. tech guys in store said that because Ryzen 5 has 2 graphics cards it should be better. I don't know what to chose
@@TechFinds knowledge.autodesk.com/support/inventor/troubleshooting/caas/sfdcarticles/sfdcarticles/System-requirements-for-Autodesk-Inventor-2020.html there are requirements in this page. Can you have a quick look?
Send it back idk why but i had mines and i tested my friends nitro 5 with the same cpu ang gpu and he was getting 30fps more then me and mines always overheated they tried to redesign the vents to help it . It clearly did not i would hit 98 c after 2 games of fortnite
Mr. 12A Although you are correct the nitro 5 is better this is a laptop for beginners who want to game but on a budget it’s not exactly a powerful laptop but it’s not slow one it can handle task easily and can handle a lot of things you throw at it
@@Rotary12A mmm? I had mine for a week with 4 game, Arma 3 (slot of mod, ultra UHD quality, Thunder war, total war Rome 2, and DCS. ALL IN UHD and every to the max! And the laptop run well and fast. It only get warm not over heat. But the thing I really hate is the touch pad.
Hi, cool review! I`m thinking of buying HP Pavilion Gaming 15 , wanted to ask your opinion on AMD Ryzen 5 3550H (9RH21EA config) vs Intel Core i5-9300H (7PY74EA config) models. Both have nVidia GeForce GTX 1650 GPU and 16 Gb ram. I think Intel CPU would be a bit more powerful, but Ryzen config is a bit cheaper. Which CPU do you prefer?
Processor: AMD ryzen 7 3750H up to 4 Ghz Memory: 16 Go Disc: 512 Go SSD M.2 Graphic card: Nvidia GTX 1650 4 GO My question: Are they good in editing using adobe premiere and after effects ?
For a student multimedia and needs a pretty fast laptop i wanna get the pavilion 15 gaming since the Helios 300 isin't in my country i will use sometimes for gaming but thats not my main goal i am just worries about temperatures and loud fans do you think ill be okay ? i wont do like heavy tasks but might have a lot of tabs open and iam getting the config with 16gb ram i7 9750h and gtx 1650 thank you for the video loved it :)
Because 4.5 GHz is the maximum clock speed only when one core is used. When you play games the CPU usually uses all cores and for multi-core tasks the maximum clock speed is 4.0GHz
I recently bought a rare pavilion because of the specifications: I7 9th generation, gtx1050, 256 ssd (i need to buy a sata or an external disc), and 8 gb of ram. What do you mean?
@@TechFinds I have the i7 9th gen with gtx 1660ti version and i can't find a single video of Y740 with 1660ti, all of them have Rtx 2060. Looks like im the only person who bought the 1660ti version 😂
@@azharshaik461 basically it's the same laptop, just different GPU, so people can base on reviews of RTX 2060 model to choose different configurations too. :)
I have gaming pavilion with AMD Ruzen 3550H...two graphic card...AMD Vega 8 graphic with 7 GB..and Nvidia gtx 1650 with 4 GB...and 16 GB of RAM..All HP Pavilion Gaming laptops is great...supported Max of RAM is 32 GB !!!!!!!!
The quieter the better especially since the point of a laptop is to play not only from home but out places where you don’t want to make a lot of noise. Unfortunately I can not find any deals on the Pavilion. On sale it should be $899 for 17 inch and $799 for 15 inch but they have no good sales. I would upgrade the RAM and the screen hz
Tech Finds I ended up buying it with the AMD CPU it was $729 with 16GB RAM upgrade, 1TB hard drive and the 144hz monitor, $500 off. I think the performance will be close to intel i5 but I get the 1660ti GPU
Very good review For the pavilion should i get the 512gb PCIe NVMe m.2 ssd or the 512gb intel ssd + 32 gb intel optane memory? What is the difference in performance and if i get the latter can i expand my memory?
I haven't tested any optane drive yet. I don't like low volume, and one viewer actually had some problems when trying to change optane drive. NvMe is very fast.
I was looking into pavilion and it has i7, 16gb ram, 8gb vram. With GTX 1660, 144 Hz.... I just want to use him for gaming and video edit sometimes. So i hope it will work good. What do you think Sir?
Do you (or anyone reading this) know how they both perform with live streaming? I'm looking into getting a gaming laptop for streaming minecraft on twitch and I know using stream software and being live decreases performance on my current laptop and would like one that is better suited for that.
What type of computer is pavilion? Is it elitebook, probook, zbook or omen? When I inquire to their customer service, this question was asked but I don't know the answer
I cannot find a true review of the 2019 HP Omen 17. Some people point out to the fact that it only includes external graphics card but no integrated Intel graphics card. So battery drains faster since it can't switch
That's for the models with G-Sync i guess, because it must run on dedicated GPU all the time. However the battery should not be too bad anyway. I had 2018 Omen without integrated graphics and the battery was decent. There are some reviews of 2019 Omen 15 which is basically just a smaller version of Omen 17. Everything else is the same.
May i ask something ? I wanna ask what should i get for my new laptop, acer Triton 300 (i5 9300h + gtx1650) or hp pavillion gaming 15 (i7 9750h + gtx1650) ? Please help me, i'm so confused
Pavilion has better CPU, so it should be slightly faster. I didn't test Triton 300 tho. I'd recommend buying a laptop with GTX 1660Ti instead if you can find something in your price range. Maybe Asus TUF FX505 with AMD CPU and Nvidia GTX 1660TI or MSI GL65.
i love channels that actually have the product to review instead of just talking about the specs and stuff
I've never seen a review without actual product shown in the video :D
@@TechFinds yeah people just give the specs of it. and use other peoples benchmarks

Nice video, i finally bought the helios with an rtx2060 but with 17'' screen which has even better cooling than the 15''.
TBH the helios 300 seems to be unbeatable in that range of price.
You're right, it's the best choice in this price range. It actually beats more expensive laptops as well.
I have a Pavilion dk0001la with core i5 9300h and gtx 1050 3GB 8GB of ram 256GB Samsung PM981 Pcie 3.0 x4 and 1TB HDD, and I did undervolting to -0.135 and power limits to 70w and 40w, it´s pretty cool even I gaming for thre or four hours, max temp its 86ºc CPU.
Pretty good temperatures. I had i7 which had 30W power limit set. I've heard that i5 models run hotter so that's probably because they didn't set the limit.
Hi TechFind, I discovered your channel and I just love it. One q, I heard that older versions of pavilion gaming were overheating, can you confirm if the Ryzen 3550H series (HP Pavilion - 15-ec0001ax), is one of those previous models?
I checked this model and to be honest on pictures it doesn't look like the previous generation, but it's not the one I had too. The model you mentioned seems to not have exhausts on the back and at all which is concerning. I see it for the first time
I bought the new pavilion 15 with gtx 1650 and ryzen 7 3750h, waiting for it to be shipped but I'm sure it will run just fine :D
how much was that
@@momonator4 about 900 euros, I know I could've gotten a very nice pc setup for this price tag, but I couldn't get a pc in the first place because of logistics problems in my house, still happy with what I have now, runs everything smoothly :D
Thanks for the review, I'm pretty sure what to buy now...
Great overview, thank you 😊
Hey! Nice video. I'm just wondering, if I buy the 1650 Pavilion model with only the NVMe SSD, will it still come with the hard drive bracket and connector? I would like to add a HDD myself as I have a spare one.
By default you should get the bracket and cable inside the laptop with a fake plastic hdd. Check out my upgrade guide for Pavilion - it's shown there.
2:20 that's how i used to type .LOL😁
I bought hp before seeing vid im still happy tho
Here in UAE, costs of laptops are as
HP pavilion with 1660ti q max : 1100$
Lenovo y540 with 1660ti : 1300$
Acer Helios with 1660ti : 1450$.
So which one is better choice for long-term investment?
Thank you
I think that Legion or Predator would be a good choice. I made a comparison between these laptops too so you can check it out. If you can afford more i recommend Helios tho
@@TechFinds thank you for your reply.

It doesn't matter who comes out on top... all computer manufactures have colluded and agreed on "Planned' Obsolescence"
Maybe yes, maybe not. Nonetheless if someone wanna see how one laptop compares to the other, there is a video. It's more for information than drawing the winner.
@@TechFinds Perhaps collusion is a bit harsh and difficult to prove but 'Planned Obsolescence' is a common business practice among manufacturers of non-perpetual products. The problem I have is with the software as well has the hardware. It used to be 'Perpetual Licensing' software was considered a given. But now they've coded software to become obsolete after so long rendering the original hardware obsolete because the new forthcoming software won't work on the old hardware. Sorry... just needing to vent... tired of these tech companies exploiting their control over lifestyles. Carry on... lol
I just got the Helios 300 and I love it. I’m looking to upgrade the storage

I don't know if you're still reading comments. Just bought the HP Pavillion, and my only concern is the hinges breaking or something of the sort. Are they delicate? What would you recommend to keep the hinges well? Any advice is appreciated, and I subscribed too!
just open the laptop from the middle, not the sides, and you'll be fine.
@@icafed Sounds good. Thanks for the answer!
I still answer, but sometimes i don't get notification of every comment. ;)
Yep, as Jessica said. I've never had problems with this kind of hinge if it comes to durability, but you better open it from the middle part, not the corners of the screen as it bends more than in laptops with hinges on the sides.
Here comes a Professional video🔥
Thanks mate! :)
Nice Video, I have the Pavillion and is perfect to work and play my favorites games ;)

In my opinion Predator is better
@@TechFinds ok thanks
Man, great work!
Thanks mate!
Great video!
I am wondering if you will do a comparison video between the 2019 Helios 300 and the new 16.1" Pavilion. Thanks.
Unfortunately i can't afford the new laptops yet
@@TechFinds Understood. I hope you can get to when you can!
Hi! I was thinking of getting the hp pavilion as my laptop for content creating/digital media art. Also, I do play games, but not that quite heavy as the others would usually do. Do you think this laptop is suitable and can do longer screen time/multitasking? And, I'm kind of worried with the thermals like what if it heats up? Thanks in advance!
Which laptop are u talking about? I think that both will be good for your needs, but if the price difference is not very big i recommend getting Predator as it's better overall.
Get the new hp pavilion gaming laptop 16.1 inch from best buy recently it was up for 750$
I have a similar concern I want to get a laptop to do higher resolution editing on photoshop, illustrator, arrange and zbrush. But I can't decide on which is more reliable out of the two laptops and doesn't overheat. I'm going to get a 16gb ram version but which laptop runs cooler for long hours of work and is reliable? With hp previously I had black blank screen issues and blue screen of death hence I'm a little concerned whether I should go for hp again? Also do you recommend buying a cooling portable fan for either laptop?
I have hp pavillion gaming 15 white color cause:
1 - it's cheaper.
2 - good for editing documents, write down thesis, coredraw, blender.
3- listen to music, movies (the sound is pretty good).
4- good camera for online clases.
5- good for some ocasional gaming.
6- it's elegant, modest, doesn't look like a pc gaming.
I have the pavilion and every time I open it the screen feels like it’s going to fall 😰
It has some flex because of Central hinge. I recommend you to open it pulling the middle edge of the screen up. Not the corners.
Have the Pavilion 2018 for almost 2 years now and I think the screen flex is the only big disadvantage here. It's so frightening every time you open it or especially when someone else does....
Hello!
You should make Gaming review on both laptops..
I made gaming benchmarks on both laptops. Check out on my channel
Very good explanation, KEEP IT UP👍
Thanks mate!
To be honest, ur content is surprisely amazing. Keep uo good work and i believe u ll get more follower.
Btw dude i still confused with hp pavilion gaming 15, i know dat it doesnt have fan speed control. So how to solve this? Should i use paste thermal or do i need cooling fan? Does use cooling fan will effective in this laptop mate? Thanks.
Pavilion doesn't have fan control but fans of course speed up when it gets hot. In my case it had also cpu power limit so the temperatures were good. If u see that the laptop is overheating you can use Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste. You can also undervolt the CPU but only when it doesn't have limited CPU power. For i5 and i7 45W is default but my i7 had 30W limit.
@@TechFinds ok mate i ll change my paste to thermal grizzy dat u re telling about. Thx for ur helps!

Hey man thanks a lot for the review Just wondering I am planning to buy the HP pavilion with AMD Ryzen 5 3550H with Radeon Vega 8 Graphics
and
NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 1050 graphics card or the Intel core i5 one? Both the same price but which one should I go for?
The model with GTX 1050 and i5 should give you better performance.
@@TechFinds we basically I am using it for Autocad. Do you know the software Autodesk Inventor? yea for that. tech guys in store said that because Ryzen 5 has 2 graphics cards it should be better. I don't know what to chose
@@lustrals1273 Unfortunately i am not familiar with autocad software and it's requirements. I test only games ;)

I ordered my HP Pavilion and arrived today......i hope it won't be wrong choice
Send it back idk why but i had mines and i tested my friends nitro 5 with the same cpu ang gpu and he was getting 30fps more then me and mines always overheated they tried to redesign the vents to help it . It clearly did not i would hit 98 c after 2 games of fortnite
Honestly if your a beginner gamer this is a good laptop to use it can handle a lot of things
Mr. 12A Although you are correct the nitro 5 is better this is a laptop for beginners who want to game but on a budget it’s not exactly a powerful laptop but it’s not slow one it can handle task easily and can handle a lot of things you throw at it
I ordered a Pavilion over Nitro 5 seemed to have better specs these are the specs:
I7 8300
GTX 1050
12GB ram
@@Rotary12A mmm? I had mine for a week with 4 game, Arma 3 (slot of mod, ultra UHD quality, Thunder war, total war Rome 2, and DCS. ALL IN UHD and every to the max! And the laptop run well and fast. It only get warm not over heat. But the thing I really hate is the touch pad.
Hi, cool review!
I`m thinking of buying HP Pavilion Gaming 15 , wanted to ask your opinion on AMD Ryzen 5 3550H (9RH21EA config) vs Intel Core i5-9300H (7PY74EA config) models. Both have nVidia GeForce GTX 1650 GPU and 16 Gb ram. I think Intel CPU would be a bit more powerful, but Ryzen config is a bit cheaper. Which CPU do you prefer?
Processor: AMD ryzen 7 3750H up to 4 Ghz
Memory: 16 Go
Disc: 512 Go SSD M.2
Graphic card: Nvidia GTX 1650 4 GO
My question: Are they good in editing using adobe premiere and after effects ?
A laptop with such specs will handle AE with ease.
a real gamer respects all platforms.
Pc are the best platforms
@@hadrienlarribe6884 if you’re willing to spend $ 4,000 or more on a pc then technically ur right
@@hannahcamillehernandez4910 good gaming PCs are easily built for around 1k, depending on the needs even cheaprr
This was really helpfull. My local store has a sale for the Hp pavilion with ryzen 5 3550H and gerforce Gtx 1650 for 600$. Yay or nay?
This configuration will be good for most of games, but you'll be able to play ones of the most demanding titles at only medium or low settings.
Hp pavilion or Acer nitro 5 (2019)?? Which one is the best overall??
I think that Nitro 5 may be better. It depends on the price tho, but it vary between countries. Nitro 5 at least has fan control.
I’m totally happy with my Pavilion 16 it’s an amazing laptop..
How is it going after 8 months use ?
For a student multimedia and needs a pretty fast laptop i wanna get the pavilion 15 gaming since the Helios 300 isin't in my country i will use sometimes for gaming but thats not my main goal i am just worries about temperatures and loud fans do you think ill be okay ? i wont do like heavy tasks but might have a lot of tabs open and iam getting the config with 16gb ram i7 9750h and gtx 1650 thank you for the video loved it :)
In general Pavilion runs cool and quiet. You should be ok with temperatures, especially that you're not gonna do heavy tasks
Hey my Predator Helios 300 doesn't get up to 4.5 Ghz (Processor) why? I should do something ? Even when i turn on the Turbo doesn't change.
Because 4.5 GHz is the maximum clock speed only when one core is used. When you play games the CPU usually uses all cores and for multi-core tasks the maximum clock speed is 4.0GHz
I recently bought a rare pavilion because of the specifications: I7 9th generation, gtx1050, 256 ssd (i need to buy a sata or an external disc), and 8 gb of ram.
What do you mean?
Good idea to add more RAM. This will help the performance. And 256GB SSD is pretty small, so you can put some 1-2TB 2.5" HDD
Tech Finds exactly, thank you for answer my question. I’m waiting to incorporate some more hdd first, because the 256 looks so small.
AJ Cruz' why?
It was a tough decision but i finally went with the Lenovo legion y740 and i just love it.
I tested the cheaper model Y540, and I'm pretty sure that Y740 is a great laptop. ;)
@@TechFinds I have the i7 9th gen with gtx 1660ti version and i can't find a single video of Y740 with 1660ti, all of them have Rtx 2060. Looks like im the only person who bought the 1660ti version 😂
@@azharshaik461 basically it's the same laptop, just different GPU, so people can base on reviews of RTX 2060 model to choose different configurations too. :)

I have gaming pavilion with AMD Ruzen 3550H...two graphic card...AMD Vega 8 graphic with 7 GB..and Nvidia gtx 1650 with 4 GB...and 16 GB of RAM..All HP Pavilion Gaming laptops is great...supported Max of RAM is 32 GB !!!!!!!!
@@sinisasestic4173 yeahhh, its really good !!!!!!!!!!!!
I would go with predator
The quieter the better especially since the point of a laptop is to play not only from home but out places where you don’t want to make a lot of noise. Unfortunately I can not find any deals on the Pavilion. On sale it should be $899 for 17 inch and $799 for 15 inch but they have no good sales. I would upgrade the RAM and the screen hz
Unfortunately HP doesn't usually make a good sales, it i think $1000 is ot a bad price for Pavilion with these specs.
Tech Finds I ended up buying it with the AMD CPU it was $729 with 16GB RAM upgrade, 1TB hard drive and the 144hz monitor, $500 off. I think the performance will be close to intel i5 but I get the 1660ti GPU
I already brought pavilion in 2021 january (2021 model) 😍😍😍
I have too with Ryzen 7 5800H, RTX 3050, 16 GB Ram and I'm so happy.
@@vankatalp I have 8gb ram intel core i5 9th gen. I really like intel . Its like some people's preferences.
Very good review
For the pavilion should i get the 512gb PCIe NVMe m.2 ssd or the 512gb intel ssd + 32 gb intel optane memory?
What is the difference in performance and if i get the latter can i expand my memory?
I haven't tested any optane drive yet. I don't like low volume, and one viewer actually had some problems when trying to change optane drive. NvMe is very fast.

I will choose pavilion 😆✌️
I was looking into pavilion and it has i7, 16gb ram, 8gb vram. With GTX 1660, 144 Hz.... I just want to use him for gaming and video edit sometimes. So i hope it will work good. What do you think Sir?
It can handle basically every game and it will be good for video editing.
@@TechFinds thank you!! 🥺🥰
Do you (or anyone reading this) know how they both perform with live streaming? I'm looking into getting a gaming laptop for streaming minecraft on twitch and I know using stream software and being live decreases performance on my current laptop and would like one that is better suited for that.
You need a good CPU for streaming. I didn't test that but i think Helios 300 could do the trick with 6-core i7 that has no power limit set below 45W
What type of computer is pavilion? Is it elitebook, probook, zbook or omen? When I inquire to their customer service, this question was asked but I don't know the answer
Pavilion is basically a Pavilion line. They should mention it.
Am using the pavillon and i love it
Using ryzen, rryzen7 or i7? What graphic card that your laptop use?
are you my new favorite UA-camr? perhaps
I have the HP pavilion and he is perfekt for me i play much games on it and ir run perfekt! The 1000€ was good invested
What wallpaper do you used in hp pavilion on the video dude...
I downloaded some Nvidia logo wallpaper and edited it on my own a bit.
Nice video. I have both laptops they are both good laptops work very well on games.
I cannot find a true review of the 2019 HP Omen 17. Some people point out to the fact that it only includes external graphics card but no integrated Intel graphics card. So battery drains faster since it can't switch
That's for the models with G-Sync i guess, because it must run on dedicated GPU all the time. However the battery should not be too bad anyway. I had 2018 Omen without integrated graphics and the battery was decent. There are some reviews of 2019 Omen 15 which is basically just a smaller version of Omen 17. Everything else is the same.
@@TechFinds I also saw the same model omen 17 without G-Sync. Can that mean it includes integrated graphics card?
@@ramazandurmaz3012 You're getting a G-Sync with certain display models only, but idk the models without G-Sync have integrated graphics.

May i ask something ? I wanna ask what should i get for my new laptop, acer Triton 300 (i5 9300h + gtx1650) or hp pavillion gaming 15 (i7 9750h + gtx1650) ? Please help me, i'm so confused
Pavilion has better CPU, so it should be slightly faster. I didn't test Triton 300 tho. I'd recommend buying a laptop with GTX 1660Ti instead if you can find something in your price range. Maybe Asus TUF FX505 with AMD CPU and Nvidia GTX 1660TI or MSI GL65.
