HP Pavilion g7-1353eg Pro Reviews

The Pavilion g7-1353eg offers a quite successful blend of price, performance and quality. Although the 17 inch device doesn't really excel in any point, the multimedia notebook hardly makes any major blunders, either. Above all, there is the mediocre screen on the con side. HP uses a viewing angle dependent and intensely reflective low-end screen that reproduces a grayish black and "scores" with a low contrast, like the majority of contenders. Not everyone will take a liking to the touchpad's dotted surface texture and the somewhat clattery keyboard, either. The connectivity (no USB 3.0) and mobility also have room for improvement. On the other hand, HP deserves praise for the low power consumption and moderate emissions. Regardless whether idle or 3D mode: The multimedia laptop is never particularly warm or loud. Unfortunately, we can't make a general statement about the performance. Although two graphics cards and a quad core are truly remarkable for EUR 500, there are a few points to criticize in the details. For example, AMD's quad core A6-3420M can't compete with Intel's current Sandy Bridge generation - despite the cutting edge idea.
