The 2016's Pavilion 15 Touch is a mix between a multimedia notebook and a gaming notebook. It's more powerful than what its simple yet stylish plastic and metal design would otherwise suggest, and its excellent cooling system can cool all this laptop's powerful components with ease. The Pavilion 15 Touch 2016 is a valid competitor for the crown of MSI Prestige PE60 for the most stylish and modern looking gaming laptop on the market.

The Korean giant's response to the HP Elite x2 1012 G2 and Microsoft Surface Pro 2017 has a few very unique selling points, coming directly from the smartphone world: AMOLED display and high quality camera equipment!
The AMOLED Display of the Samsung Galaxy Book 12 has infinite contrast, offering perfect blacks and whites. Even if the panel is glossy, it can be used outdoors without any problem.
The 5MP Webcam and 13MP rear camera can be used for much more than business conferences, and in combination with the AMOLED display's great color reproduction and contrast, this detachable computer can be used as both a backup-camera and photo editing device on the go.
The performance is quite good, like the competition it uses a 15W 7th gen Intel Core i5 (i5-7200U) and, like the Elite x2 1012 G2, it doesn't throttle as heavily as the Surface Pro.
