60 PCWorld FEBRUARY 2020REVIEWS HP PAVILION X360 14M-DH0003DX
40-watt-hour battery,
which is the smallest
of the bunch. It even
beats out that of the
14-inch Lenovo
IdeaPad Flex, a 2-in-1
laptop with a larger
48-watt-hour battery.
Still, if you’re
looking for a system
that’ll last you more
than a long afternoon
on battery power (and
keep in mind that our
eight-hour battery drain
result won’t hold up if
you’re doing anything
remotely demanding
on the Pavilion), you should consider a device
with a bigger battery. The relatively low-pricedAcer Aspire 5’s 48Wh battery managed to last
100 minutes longer during our battery drain test.
It’s also a good three-quarters of a pound heavier
than the Pavilion.BOTTOM LINE
While its battery life and display are mediocre,
the HP Pavilion x360 remains a solid, well-built
2-in-1 that will speed you through everyday
computing tasks as well as moderately tough
video-processing or number-crunching
chores. Better still, its comfy keyboard will keep
your fingers happy, and the surprisingly
decent-sounding speakers will keep you
humming. For the price (especially at current
discounts), it’s a solid deal.HP Pavilion x360
14m-dh0003dx tPROS- Solid quad-core performance.
- Sleek, sturdy design.
- Great keyboard.
CONS - So-so battery life.
- Display is a bit dim.
- Side power button is easy to press by accident.
BOTTOM LINE
This sleek convertible laptop has what it takes in
terms of day-to-day performance, but its small
battery won’t last all day.

The HP Pavilion’s battery life isn’t bad considering its smallish battery, but we
still wish it had a bigger one.Acer Aspire A515-54-30BQ
