Nowadays, young people’s demand for computers is starting to become thinner and lighter, and they want laptops to be thin and light while still having strong performance. Although we have seen a lot of thin and light gaming laptops with MAX-Q graphics cards on the market, the price is not affordable for many friends. However, with the recent popularity of Intel’s 8th Gen Core processors and GeForce MX150 graphics cards, thin and light gaming laptops are also possible. The HP Pavilion 15-ck000 that we disassembled this time is one such product.

Its bottom cover is made of plastic material, and it has an air inlet, which makes it easy for cold air to enter into the fuselage. In addition to visible three screws securing the bottom cover, there are two hidden screws under two-foot pads on the top of the bottom cover.
After unscrewing the screws on the back cover, carefully pry open all the fasteners along the edge. It should be noted that the fixed fasteners are tight; you need a little bit of patience to pry open them.
After opening the bottom cover, you can see the Pavilion 15 uses a single fan and single copper tube design. With two memory slots and maximum support for 16GB memory, it comes with an M.2 SSD and a 2.5″ HDD. Unlike most thin and light ultrabooks, the Pavilion 15 allows users to upgrade the memory, SSD, and hard drives easily.
Different from the traditional ultrabook’s battery connector, the built-in battery is connected to the motherboard with metal contacts.
HP Pavilion 15-ck000 comes with a 11.55V, 3470mAh Li-polymer battery, HP P/N: 920046-541, HSTNN-UB7J.
As a 15-inch notebook, its battery capacity is still a little smaller.
It comes with a Samsung 8GB DDR4 2400MHz memory, and users can add 8GB memory to constitute 16GB dual channel memory, so running large programs can be more rapid.
The Intel 360GB M.2 PCIe SSD has been most often found on HP laptops recently. With the M.2 SSD + HDD combination of hard drives compared with single drive solutions, users do not need to spend more money to buy large capacity SSDs. The mechanical hard drives can be upgraded to 2TB, so users do not need to worry about capacity problems.
The HP Pavilion 15-ck000 features an Intel Dual Band Wireless-AC 3168 Wi-Fi adapter. It supports 802.11ac, dual-band, and Bluetooth 4.2.
After removing the wireless network card, you can see the internal structure of the left I/O board. The I/O board is connected to the motherboard via the cable.
This small board integrates a 3.5mm headphone jack.
It’s worth noting that the power button is also integrated into the I/O board, which can be easily repaired and replaced in case the power button is damaged.
The touchpad has a special metal baffle to ensure that it doesn’t collapse when pressed.
The surface of the touchpad is covered with a layer of glass to ensure a smooth touch feel.
