The second reason is the laptop’s solid list of features including, but not limited to, a great build quality, and a comfortable full-size keyboard. The laptop’s display is a 15.6-inch FHD unit with 250 nits of screen brightness and an anti-glare coating, which is vital for avoiding screen-glare while working indoors.

Portability and power don’t often go together but the AMD-powered HP Pavilion Aero 13 is the exception. It uses an AMD Ryzen 5 7535U APU, which is based on the more efficient TSMC 6nm FinFet transistor. The result is better battery life and more performance per watt, two things you really want in a thin and light laptop.
And speaking of thin and light, the HP Pavilion Aero 13 weighs just 970 grams, making it one of the lightest laptops in India. Regardless of its small size, it is packed to brim with useful features. Starting with the 13-inch FHD+ display with 16:10 aspect ratio. Moreover, the laptop’s brightness came out to be 440 nits, when I conducted comprehensive display tests on it, which is more than officially claimed. In terms of colour accuracy tests too, the 13-inch display passed by scoring an average Delta E value of 2.1, the closer this number stays to 1 the better.
