HP's Pavilion Gaming 15 is a respectable contender in the ultra-competitive arena for 1080p gaming laptops priced just north of $1,000, but it falls in the quarterfinal or semifinal round instead of reaching the championship.

The Pavilion series isn't exactly home to HP's best laptops and yet the Pavilion Gaming 17 is one of the better gaming laptops we've seen from the manufacturer thus far. The system is surprisingly quiet and even sleek considering its price range.
