60% HP Star Wars Special Edition Notebook: the force is so-so with this one
Source: T3

Beyond the problematic battery life, this is a solid laptop with a nice approach to its theme for very little extra money. In future models, we want to see a bit more variety; a top-end ultrabook with a proper steel build would be attractive, as would a laptop based on the Rebel designs rather than the black, silver and red of the Galactic Empire. For now, we cant quibble with fans who want this for the branding - its really well done - as long as youre not planning to use it on the move too much.

And while we're sure all this fan service stuff is available elsewhere, it's lovely to have it all in one place, served up to you. If it was served up with a better interface, we'd be happy owning a more premium, more powerful version of this laptop - as it is, it's a classic and ideal model for a low budget star wars fan of any age, whether taking it into the lecture hall, or sitting retired at home watching the movies on loop.

If the Death Star were a notebook, this would be it

HPs notebook will remain in our memories a long time for a couple of reasons. The first one, of course, being its design. The appearance of the machine is not only unique, but also tells the tale of one of the most beloved Sagas Star Wars. We should also note that the design isnt the only thing being Star Wars themed about the device its software is, too. The notebook packs a couple of unique software additions, which will most certainly entertain you for a long time. The aggressive design language and bright red keyboard LED backlight definitely catch the eye. The screen of the machine is user-friendly and will not cause eye fatigue due to the lack of PWM across all brightness levels. Viewing angles are comfortable thanks to the IPS panel, while the Intel Core i5-6200U CPU and GeForce GT 940M GPU will support almost any kind of entertainment.

HP has taken a standard-issue 15-inch Pavilion laptop, one of the most middle-of-the-road, midprice laptops you can find, and dressed it up with some very nice Star Wars graphics and digital content. Since there's little or no price premium between this and the standard 15-inch Pavilion (depending on the exact configuration and periodic sales), it's a fun collection of extras for Star Wars aficionados that doesn't demand a "fan tax."
