HP Pavilion g6-1b60us Pro Reviews

The HP Pavilion g6 is a solid choice for those in search of a budget notebook for basic use, including Internet surfing and Microsoft Office. Its highlights include good performance, almost five hours of battery life, a cool operating temperature, and decent build quality. The downsides are minor but notable; my number one complaint is the over-the-top use of glossy plastic, which turns the notebook into an eyesore and compromises durability. Furthermore, the keyboard could have had a better feel and the display panel could be sturdier. Lastly, the speakers are poor even by notebook standards. Items on the wish list include a higher screen resolution and newer Intelprocessors, but that is simply not going to happen at this price range. In the face of things, most of my complaints are relatively mild. The HP Pavilion g6 is recommendable to budget-conscious users. However, shoppers looking for a better multimedia experience should consider HP's higher end Pavilion dv6 ... if another $100 won't break the bank; the dv6 is an upgrade in nearly every area over the g6.
