Fist off, by the look of this unit some force say it looks alot like the Macbook pro 13″, with that being said, looks are NOT everything, This HP G62 packs alot of KICKASS punch, Unlike the other person who wrote that he’s having a track pad problem…..GET GLASSES if you cannot see the track pad. One of the features regarding the track pad is the shut off, you just tap twice on the led thats located on top of the pad too disable the track pad, of which then an amber light comes on let you know that you have disabled the track pad, too enable it, just tap twice and your excellent too go, this feature was made if you are going too use an external mouse. Now as far as This unit’s functionality, its awesome, all hard drives depending on your configuration, are @ 7200 rpm,the base CPU is the new i3 core by intel, of which is upgradeable too the i5 or i7. It also features the new L3 cache, giving you a smoother ride then the older L2 cache systems. The system bus is well over 1066MHz, uses very quick DDR3 ram of which this unit is upgradeable too 8 gigs of ram. In addition the graphics are in right native, and surveillance a dvd was an experience, with the Altec Lansing audio surround. OK now for multi-task, I have compared it too the Macbook Pro, With the Intel core 2 duo running @ 2.8 Ghz, the consequences were very impressive, The HP (base model) not only beat the Macbook Pro in muli-tasking, but also ran apples own software like itunes and others with small effort, running adobe CS4 was so quick I may possibly not judge what I was seeing. As far as surfing the web, I have never been on a mobile device that has speeds that are just unbelievable. HP and Intel have place together a product that surpasses systems worth $2000 and up. Of coarse if you deside too get your HP G62 FULLY loaded with the i7 intel cpu, blueray, 500gb hard drive, and dedicated graphics, and built in bluetooth, this unit will run you about $2400. Now weather you get the base model or upgraded version, 1 word….Kickass, its about time a PC company challenges the bar, weather your a casual user or an extreme user, makes no difference, this unit is built for decades too come! Well worth the money!
I picked this up on sale at Best Buy for $549, I was first inspired by the looks the the unit, as well as the texture of the casing. But I went and looked at just about every other laptop in the store in similar price range. Most of them tended to be the previous generation T4400 processors, rather than the new i3 series processors. One of the other things that caught my eye nearly immediately was the posted battery life for the unit. Most 6-cell laptops you expect to get 2-3 hours of treatment. The G62-144DX has 5hr 15min (admittedly, the way those battery lives are calculated is with just about everything shut off and the laptop not being used, but still significantly higher) I looked around at the other i3/5/7 series, the i3′s and i5′s all tended to have significantly longer battery life. They are the perfect mix of low electrical power employment and high performance. Plus the fact of the DDR3 reminiscence and the 500gb hard drive (most laptops tended to top out at 320gb), it was really an unbeatable deal.
Most of the other i3 laptops at the store were running at least $100 higher or more, and didn’t have all the specs of this unit. It is reasonably a speedy system for a very reasonable cost.
I’ve had this laptop for a week. The first issue I noticed was the touch pad buttons were too hard to press. The second issue is that Norton seems to be built-in. I’ve installed Web-Root Anti-virus, but the system keeps asking me to activate Norton. It also seems unstable. Windows 7 and/or IE8 seem to be crashing twice a day. Not sure if there’s a hardware compatability issue or if it’s the software.
I like the weight and feel. For the price this is a fantastic laptop.
I bought this laptop about 2 weeks ago to replace a HP Pavilion. I thought it had relatively excellent features for the price and I liked the look of it. My problem has been with the trackpad. The trackpad is made of the same material as the outside take in and is not very responsive to the touch. I have tried multiple settings to remedy the problem with no luck. I am disappointed with the performance of this laptop and although it is groundbreaking new I will probably replace it soon.
