HP Pavilion Aero 13 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.

Our verdict

Reviewed by Burooj Alam. Rated by us, not by users.

Expert rating7.4 / 10

The Pavilion Aero 13 uses a Ryzen 7 8840U with 16GB of LPDDR5X and a 1TB SSD in a 13.3-inch body. Its 1920 x 1200 IPS panel reaches 400 nits, which makes it easy to read in bright rooms, and it suits travelers who value a small, light laptop for everyday work.

Memory is soldered and capped at 16GB, and the single SSD slot is occupied, so there are no upgrades.

Best for

  • Frequent travelers who prioritize low weight above all else
  • Buyers who want strong battery efficiency from AMD's mobile platform
  • Everyday productivity users who don't need a discrete GPU

Not for

  • Anyone wanting to upgrade RAM or add storage later
  • Creative professionals needing discrete graphics
  • Buyers who need a large screen for detailed work
