Meet HP Pavilion Aero, The Lightest AMD-Based Consumer Notebook

HP has unveiled a new range of portable notebooks under its Pavilion Aero 13 series. Touted as the lightest AMD-based consumer notebook, the Aero 13 weighs less than 1 kilogram and is the first pavilion notebook featuring a 90 per cent screen-to-body-ratio. The notebooks in the series are powered by AMD Ryzen 5 & 7 5800U mobile processors and make use of AMD Radeon graphics. These portable notebooks even come equipped with a built-in Alexa and a fingerprint reader.

HP Pavilion Aero 13 Specifications & Features

Starting with the display, the Aero 13-series notebooks flaunt 13.3-inch WUXGA IPS screens with full HD resolution. The displays come in a 16:10 aspect ratio and offer 400 nits of maximum brightness. HP mentions that these IPS displays support 100% sRGB for a wider color palette. With a 13.3-inch screen and 90% screen-to-body ratio, the Aero 13 indeed makes for a portable machine for on-the-go tasks.

There are four notebooks in the Aero 13-series to choose from. Three out of four makes use of the AMD Ryzen 5 5600U processor along with AMD Radeon graphics. The flagship Aero 13-series notebook is powered by AMD Ryzen 7 5800U chipset and is priced higher than the three.
