Expert tester comments
HP's Pavilion 15-cs3087TX is a well-equipped 15-inch laptop that's suitable for users looking for a little more oomph than usual from an everyday laptop. However, this particular laptop was problematic during our test period, with the system freezing every now and then while it was sitting idle or playing video files, forcing us to physically switch it off and on. This keeps its overall score low.
