1. The Laptop itself2. A 65watt fast charger with barrel type pin.
3. Paper works and manuals.
Exterior Overview:
The device has a very minimalist approach to it and is very light weight, weighs just 1.4 kg. The body is made up of ocean bound plastics which is claimed to be more durable by the company. Over all the look is very professional and doesn't feel cheap, built quality is certainly on the premium side the mat-finish certainly enhancing the looks.
There is also a PAVILION badging on the rear side of the hinge adding to the premium ness of the design. On the inner side of the ridge the exhaust is present for the system.
On the rear there is an air intake grille along with rubber padding. The speaker grilles are also present on the bottom half of the laptop which provides decent sound output.

Interior Overview:
As soon as the lid is open we are greeted by the almost bezel-less full HD display. Same as the exterior the minimalist design is carried in. The Keyboard is not a full-sized as it is just 14-inch but is backlit which is helpful at dimmer environments. The inside is also finished in the same materials and mat finish. The built quality is also decent overall but there is a bit of flex in the display hinge and keyboard portions but its certainly is not a deal-breaker.

The trackpad is large enough and supports all the gestures. Beside the trackpad there is a fingerprint reader which is blazingly fast and has a success rate of nearly 95%. There is also a HP logo at the bottom of the display. There is also a 720p web cam which again performs very averagely along with the microphone.
Overall a thumps up in build quality.

Display and Software :
The laptop comes with an impressive full HD (1080p) anti-glare display with 45% NTSC and 157 ppi (pixels per inch). The brightness is also decent enough which is 250 nits and having almost 84% screen to body ratio. Overall the screen is decent enough but for professional grade editing an external monitor is necessary.

The laptop also comes pre-loaded with Windows 10 home and Microsoft home and office 2019 for lifetime. It also have built in alexa support. It also have wifi- 6 support and bluetooth 5 for better connectivity.

Performance:
The laptop is powered with intel Core i5-1135G7 which has a base clock speed of-2.40GHz and
boost clock speed of 4.2GHz. It also has 4 cores and 8 threads which can store 8MB of L3 cache and is based upon 10nm technology which inturn boosts its efficiency.
We ran CINEBENCH R23 and it gave a score of 1309(Single Core) and 4107 (Multi Core) which is pretty good considering the price. Overall it is brilliant in day to day basic stuffs like web-browsing, media consumption, etc. We also ran photoshop and Da Vinci softwares and it handled very well considering the price.
The laptop also handles games like GTA-5 quite smoothly considering the price.
Overall this laptop is brilliant in handling most of the basic stuffs and light gaming and video editing can also be done without much hiccups.

Verdict:
The laptop comes in the range of 65k-70k. Considering the price it performs quite superbly. I would highly recommend this machine for students for daily tasks not gaming and video editing and for professionals because of it's performance and also features like lifetime Windows and Microsoft Home and Office and considering the brand name the price is somewhat justified in India. If you are having this budget go for it.
