HP Pavilion 16 2024: Overview

Processor & Performance

The AMD Ryzen 7 8840U inside this Pavilion 16 packs eight Zen 4 cores that turbo up to 5.1 GHz, so Google Chrome, Lightroom, and big Excel sheets open without dragging their feet. Even during a summer, the chip stays cool and quiet. For daily work and light content creation in Nepal, it feels effortlessly quick.

Display

You get a roomy 16‑inch WUXGA IPS panel with a taller 16:10 ratio, perfect for scrolling long documents. At 300 nits and 62.5 % sRGB, photos look lively while the anti‑glare finish tames reflections in bright cafes shop. A standard 60 Hz refresh is fine for streaming and casual gaming.

Design & Build

Finished in soft grey, the chassis is just 1.79 kg and under 18 mm thick, so tossing it into a backpack for a bus ride down your destiny is easy. The backlit keyboard with a numpad helps crunch late‑night budgets, and the metal‑plated lid feels sturdy enough for everyday knocks.

Graphics

Integrated AMD Radeon Graphics share system memory but still handle 1080p video edits, light Photoshop layers, and esports titles like Valorant on medium settings. With no power‑hungry discrete GPU, you get quieter fans and longer unplugged time, handy when load‑shedding cuts the lights.

Battery Life

A 59 Wh battery provides roughly seven hours of mixed web browsing, Office work, and Spotify, enough for a full lecture day at Tribhuvan University. The 65 W USB‑C charger tops you up fast during a momo break, so range anxiety stays low.

Storage & RAM

The snappy 512 GB PCIe Gen 4 SSD boots Windows 11 in seconds and leaves room for course files and Netflix downloads. 8 GB LPDDR5 RAM at 6400 MHz keeps multitasking smooth, though it’s soldered—pick this capacity wisely if you run lots of heavyweight apps.

Ports & Connectivity

Twin USB‑C ports (10 Gbps, DisplayPort 1.4, Power Delivery) plus two USB‑A lines cover everything from external drives to projectors. HDMI 2.1 handles a secondary monitor, while Wi‑Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 maintain solid speeds even in crowded hostel networks. No Ethernet, so grab a dongle if you need wired.

OS & Warranty

Ships with Windows 11 Home alongside HP Support Assistant and a trial of McAfee. HP backs the laptop with a one‑year warranty honored by service centres in Kathmandu, Butwal, and other major Nepali cities, so you’re never far from help.

Who It’s For / Ideal Use

A smart pick for students, remote workers, and casual creators in Nepal who want a big screen, fresh Ryzen power, and lightweight build without paying gaming‑laptop prices. If your day is filled with docs, light editing, and binge‑watching, this Pavilion 16 hits the sweet spot, just look elsewhere for hardcore AAA gaming.
