Rated 5 out of 5 by Anonymous from THIS HP PAVILION AERO IS THE BEST COMPUTER I’VE EVER HAD! This Aero is without doubt the best computer I have ever owned! It is just the right size, it weighs practically nothing, the functionality is outstanding, it is lightning fast in spite of living in the country in the middle of a dead zone, the keyboard fits my hand as if it was custom made, and I cannot find one single thing about it that I don’t love. Forget about computer purchases, this may be the single best purchase of any kind that I have ever made! I’m over the moon.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Skeptical True Believer from I wish I was as fast as a Ryzen 7 with M.2 storage Performance is outstanding. The only anomaly I've experience so far is that power management on closing the lid didn't work properly on one occasion, so when I re-opened it the next day, the battery was completely drained.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Kayla C from Great Laptop for College/Travel! I brought this laptop for college, I wanted something that had a long battery life and was lightweight. I can take this laptop with me to classes, and it has a lot of space for me to do work on. It has a finger-print sensor which I think is really nice. It’s nothing too big and is just the right size to travel with. I would recommend this laptop to any upcoming college students, or anyone in general!

I know from an answer to a previous question that this silver model does not have a backlit keyboard. Is a backlit keyboard available on a model in a different color or as an added cost feature?

Does this laptop get heat problems with its high performance and lightweight.? Is there a good cooling system? How long does it take to get the temperature high?

Asked by: Lasitha
I've been doing quite intensive jobs and I did not notice any problem with the temperature. Fan kicks in when load goes up. It seems quite efficient heat dissipation.
