On Tuesday, HP launched a new line of lightweight consumer laptops, called the Pavilion Aero 13.

The newest addition to HP's affordable home-targeted lineup sports a 2.5k resolution display at a 16:10 aspect ratio (2560x1600) and 400 nits of brightness and powerful AMD Ryzen 5000 series CPUs. It weighs less than 1 kg (2.2 lb).
