I appreciate the column of keys on the far-right of the keyboard for the Delete, Home, Page-up and -down, and End keys. The keys offer snappy feedback, and no keys were shortened to fit the keyboard on the 13.3-inch enclosure.
In fact, other than the color of the keys and the lack of backlighting, I have no complaints about the keyboard. The keyboard feels firm with little to no flex underneath your fingertips when typing. The lid behind the display feels rigid, as does the keyboard deck. The laptop feels very sturdy, with a all-metal chassis that’s far from flimsy. I certainly was when HP launched the product but not after I had it in my hands. You might worry about the Aero 13 being so light to the point of feeling flimsy. The Lenovo ThinkPad X1 Nano weighs less at just under 2 pounds but it has a slightly smaller 13.0-inch display (and a much higher price). It weighs only 2.1 pounds, which is considerably less than other similarly sized laptops, including HP’s premium 13.3-inch Elite Dragonfly Max that weighs 2.6 pounds and the sleek 13.4-inch Razer Book 13 that weighs a full pound more at 3.1 pounds. You’ll be amazed at how light it feels when you first pick it up. The key attraction of the Aero 13 is its extreme portability. Keyboard backlighting ought to come standard. And our system lacks keyboard backlighting, which doesn’t help the situation. In certain light, there’s not enough contrast between the keys and lettering. The Natural Silver option looks spiffy enough, although I’d prefer black keys with white lettering as opposed to the Pavilion Aero 13’s silver keys with gray lettering. The silver chassis comes free of charge, but the three other color choices-Warm Gold, Pale Rose Gold, and Ceramic White-add $20 to the bill. 2.1 pounds soaking wetĬolor will cost you.
Our $999.99 test system features the silver color option, the base display resolution, and no keyboard backlighting. Customization options include four color choices, a display resolution upgrade, and keyboard backlighting. The entry-level model in the Pavilion Aero 13 series costs $749.99 Remove non-product link and features a Ryzen 5600U CPU, 8GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD.
