 A nice computer at a budget price |

I purchased this Windows 7-64 bit notebook to replace a crashed desktop. It's nice enough that there's a sleek design with its black case and aluminum touchpad and trim, but there's a lot more "under the hood" of this budget-priced model. 4GB of installed DDR2 @SDRAM with 1MB of installed memory cache, a 320 GB hard drive and a 2.1 Ghz speed on its T4300 processor. The 1366 x 768 BrightView is crisp and clear with a 15.6 display size. The G60 weighs less than seven pounds yet has enough bells and whistles to perform like a desktop. In fact, I am using it as one with a purchased flat screen monitor and wireless keyboard and mouse.
Ports/Connectors:
3 USB 2.0
RJ-11 modem
RJ-45 LAN
HDMI
HDDB15 VGA
headphone
microphone
Additionally, there's a webcam and a 5-in-one media reader (alas, not large enough for a compact flash card, but an external card reader solved the problem).
Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit edition is pre-installed and took a little getting used to after my XP machines, but I think it ultimately will make home networking a much easier install as the system is quite intuitive.
This is my second HP computer and I am impressed with its performance. I especially like the software compatibility feature that allows me to run older programs in XP mode.
Gripes? Very few. The 5400 rpm drive speed seems a little slow after a 7200 desktop speed and I would not recommend it for serious games, however, for the beginner to average user, it's a good solid machine.
Recommended.

This is my favorite laptop computer since I owned my first one 10 years ago. I have had IBM, Acer, HP, and others. This one has met all my expectations and some at a great price.
The CPU that comes with this unit is the "base" T4300 with the Intel 4500M video card. Before I got the unit I was a little concerned that the system might not have enough horse power to run certain applications. After using it for 2 months, I have been so pleasantly surprised and impressed. I shoot a lot of photos in RAW and use Photoshop CS4 extensively. This laptop is more than able to handle multiple layers in large photo files.
One of the uses of my laptop is streaming online movies to my 52" Sony LCD TV. Even though the laptop display resolution is only 1366x768, as soon as HDMI cable is connected to the TV the laptop screen will go dark and the display automatically switches to the native TV resolution, which is 1080p. Boy, everything looks so great on such a big screen. Streaming video looks quite acceptable to me if you ask.
The quality of the laptop is pretty good too. I like that the heat fan is whisper quiet. It's a great purchase!! |
Very pleased !!!!

| I love this computer. It is my first laptop, purchased for everyday computing tasks like email and internet. It boots up and opens applications quickly. I even loaded my first Call of Duty PC game on it and it runs without issues. The keyboard feels great and the pointing device is smoother than many other models I tried in the store before purchasing from Amazon. It is a joy to sit back and use. |
works good

| This is the first laptop I've owned. Works great and just the right size for my use. I've not explore Windows 7 all that much yet but it works real well for what I have it for. The screen is very clear and defined. I think I made the right decision in this purchase. |
