The first thing that will hit you when you take the Pavilion 15 out of its box is the particular shade of blue that HP has chosen. We are therefore very curious to see how well it holds up in our test suite and whether it's a worthy buy - regardless of its unique appearance.
Based on first impressions alone, it would be very easy to see this laptop as suitable for students, home users and even working professionals who need a machine that can last for several years. It has a few features that come across as great value right at the outset. The p029TX is priced a bit above the entry level but is not quite in the premium space. In a sense, this is the laptop equivalent of an iPhone 5c.
Obviously, the colour won't appeal to everyone, but it does have a certain youthful exuberance and there will be people who will want to buy it for this reason alone. HP's latest range of laptops comes in a variety of colours, and we have the bright blue Pavilion 15 p029TX with us for review today.
