Colorful HP Pavilion notebooks powered by AMD

The notebook is made with post-consumer recycled and ocean-bound plastics, saving over 6,000 plastic bottles from entering the ocean.

HP says their new PavilionAero13 with up to 10.5 hours battery life is the company’s lightest consumer laptop at less than one kilogram, and the first Pavilion laptop to feature a full magnesium-aluminum chassis and a 4-sided narrow bezel. Available in Pale Rose Gold, Warm Gold, Ceramic White, and Natural Silver.

It is the first Pavilion laptop with 2.5k resolution (2304 × 1296) and 90% screen-to-body ratio and a 16:10 aspect ratio which gives 10% more vertical screen viewing (which means less scrolling needed). The screen can put out up to 400 nits of brightness and has a 100% sRGB wide color palette.

The Pavilions screens are driven by the GPU in the AMD APU.

In addition to a big bright screen, the laptops have a blur light filter.

With average screen time exceeding 10 hours per day on average, we are all taking in large amounts of high-energy visible blue light. This exposure can lead to headaches, sore/dry eyes, blurred vision, and prolonged exposure over time could even cause retina damage. High-energy visible (HEV) blue light has been identified as a contributor to these effects due to the sensitivity of the human eye, compounded by the high energy it carries.

HP has extended the blue light filtering to a new line of monitors too.

Monitors too

Eyesafe Display manages light energy at the source – selectively reducing blue light and dispersing across the light spectrum.

The HP Pavilion Aero 13 is expected to be available beginning in July at HP.com for a starting price of $749. The device will also be available at select US retailers later this fall. The HPM24fwa FHD Monitor is expected to be available in July at HP.com for a starting price of $229.99.
