Angled view of HP Pavilion Aero 13
HP Pavilion Aero 13 First Impressions: It feels more premium than it should

Whenever HP sends out a round of review units, it holds a workshop where we can refresh our knowledge of the product, ask questions, etc. For the HP Pavilion Aero 13, I only had one question -- why is this a Pavilion? You see, HP has four tiers of laptops. There's Spectre, which is the flagship premium brand. Right below that is Envy, fitting the high-end to premium market. Below that is Pavilion, which is mid-tier to mainstream. And finally, the firm has self-branded laptops (HP 14, etc.) for the entry level.
