HP Pavilion Aero 13 (Ryzen 7 8840U, 16GB) Review

HP Pavilion Aero 13 laptop, AMD Ryzen 7 8840U, Radeon 780M graphics, 16GB LPDDR5x soldered memory, 1TB NVMe SSD, 13.3 inch 2K IPS 400 nits display, Wi-Fi 6E, sub-1kg thin and light.

HP's lightest mainstream laptop line, built around AMD's Ryzen 7 8840U — a sub-1kg 13.3-inch machine that trades upgradability for portability.

Performance

AMD Ryzen 7 8840U (8 cores, Hawk Point) with integrated Radeon 780M graphics — enough for everyday productivity and light creative work without a discrete GPU.

Upgradability

16GB of LPDDR5x-6400 is soldered on board with zero RAM slots — this is the machine's ceiling. Storage is a single M.2 2280 PCIe 4.0x4 slot, already filled by the 1TB drive shipped.

Battery life

43Wh 3-cell battery. HP's spec sheet does not state a light-load browsing runtime for this configuration, but rates up to roughly 7-9 hours of local video/office use with HP Fast Charge support (50% in 30 minutes).

Display

13.3-inch 1920x1200 IPS panel, 400 nits, 100% sRGB coverage. HP's spec sheet does not state a refresh rate for this panel (standard 60Hz is typical for this class).

Design and ports

HP markets this chassis at under 1kg, among the lightest 13-inch Windows laptops sold. MediaTek Wi-Fi 6E (MT7922) with Bluetooth 5.3.
