HP has launched two new HP Pavilion laptops aimed at India's youth and working professionals — the HP Pavilion Plus 14 and the HP Pavilion X360 14. Both models run on Intel's 12th generation processors, pack a 5 MP webcam with AI noise removal, and start under Rs 79,000, making them compelling picks for productivity and everyday computing in 2023.
HP Pavilion Plus 14 — Design, Display and Performance
The HP Pavilion Plus 14 is the thinnest laptop HP has ever released in the Pavilion series, measuring just 16.5mm in thickness. It is powered by Intel's 12th generation H-Series processor with a maximum TDP of 45W, supported by a dual-fan cooling system and two heat pipes to keep temperatures in check during multitasking, gaming, streaming, and content creation.
The display runs at a 2.2K resolution with a 16:10 aspect ratio — taller than the conventional 16:9 — giving users more vertical screen real estate for documents and web browsing. The laptop is available in two colour options: Natural Silver and Warm Gold.
A 5 MP webcam sits above the display for sharp video calls. HP's Presence Technology is built in, which uses AI to remove background noise automatically during calls without requiring any additional software configuration.
HP Pavilion X360 14 — A 2-in-1 with Privacy-First Camera
The HP Pavilion X360 14 is one of the most notable new HP Pavilion laptops because it is HP's first consumer laptop to include a manual camera shutter door. Users can physically slide the shutter to block the webcam lens, adding a hardware-level privacy guarantee that software alone cannot match.
This model is powered by Intel's 12th generation U-Series processor, optimised for efficiency and sustained performance in thin-and-light form factors. HP says the processor enables faster movie downloads, smooth live streaming, and low-latency online multiplayer gaming.
The 14-inch display carries an Eye Safe Display Certificate, meaning it features an always-on blue-light filter that reduces eye strain during extended use — with no manual toggle required. It is available in three colours: Space Blue, Natural Silver, and Pale Rose Gold.
Like the Pavilion Plus 14, the X360 also includes the 5 MP webcam with HP Presence Technology for AI-based noise cancellation during video calls.
Shared Software Features
Both laptops ship with a consistent software suite from HP:
- HP Palette — a creative tool hub for stylus and touch workflows
- HP Command Center — centralised system controls and settings
- Performance Mode — pushes CPU and cooling for demanding workloads
- Balance Mode — optimises for everyday tasks while managing thermals
