![]() When we ran Prime95 and Furmark simultaneously, the CPU briefly reached a maximum of 98 degrees C, which is almost too high for comfort. While the GPU only reached a maximum of 82 degrees C, the CPU got much hotter at up to 88 degrees C. During the GPU stress portion with Furmark, the GeForce 940MX remained at the maximum observed clock speed of 1189 MHz for the entire test. The temperature eventually stabilized at 65 degrees C with the cores still running at around 3 GHz. The temperature rapidly climbed to about 70 degrees C, at which point the fan system kicked in. When stressed with Prime 95, the CPU cores hovered around 3 GHz with occasional dips down to 2.9 GHz. With this CPU/GPU combo, 16 GB of RAM (2x 8 GB) and the UHD touchscreen, the price climbs above $1300.Ĭompetitors are other 15-inch multimedia "do-it-all" notebooks ranging from the Lenovo IdeaPad 510-15IKB (i5-7200U, GTX 950M), the Acer Aspire E5-575G (i5-7200U, GTX 950M) and HP's own Pavilion 15 UHD T9Y85AV (i7-6700HQ, GeForce GTX 960M) mentioned above. The Intel Core i7-6700HQ (2.6 GHz, up to 3.5 GHz, 6 MB cache, 4 cores) is also available with an Nvidia GeForce GTX 960M. A touchscreen FHD IPS panel (1920 x 1080) costs $70 extra the UHD (3840 x 2160) IPS UWVA touchscreen version costs $220 extra. ![]() By the way: the upgrade to a 256 GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD only costs $60, so we can wholeheartedly recommend it. There are other differences: this configuration comes with a conventional 1 TB HDD as well, but said drive now spins at 7200 RPM compared to the review notebook's paltry 5400 RPM. The lowest configuration - priced at $620 - starts with the Intel Core i5-6300HQ (2.3 GHz, up to 3.2 GHz, 6 MB cache, 4 cores), 8GB of SDRAM (configured as 1x 8GB) and the aforementioned GeForce GTX 950M. Current models like the T9Y85AV - HP calls the notebook a "creative powerhouse" - come equipped with the GeForce GTX 950M and quad-core Skylake processors. The larger review notebook features a current-generation dual-core Kaby Lake Core i7 processor, but comes with a 1 TB platter-based hard drive - the 14-inch model shipped with a 256 GB SSD instead.Īt the time of writing, we are unable to locate an exact match for our 15.6-inch Pavilion on HP's US website. ![]() As configured, the 15.6-inch HP Pavilion 15t-au100 comes with 8 GB of RAM and the same Nvidia GeForce 940MX graphics card as its smaller 14-inch sibling Pavilion 14-al003ng, which we reviewed less than 6 months ago.
