Do not buy a computer at Amazon. If you do not like it, there is a restocking fee.
Sometimes saving a few dollars if it is that much is not worth it.
In today’s day in age, you can find just as good buys or better locally. Sorry I did not. Just trying to stay away from the crowds, not smart.
Battery life is way to short. HP has many models with longer battery life.
The speakers sound good if you can only hear them, the volume is way too soft at max settings.

The machine’s main advantage is as a movie viewer. The image is clean and sharp.
It has a few disadvantages the main being that the keyboard, supposedly touch pad misses out letters on the screen. My other laptop is a dated IBM Thinkpad (which I am using now) and the key board outshines the new HP.
I also use the computer with a head set for Skype. Again the sound quality, particularly on the part of the recipient is poor. The old IBM is far superior.
Whether the HP G60 is good for you will depend upon your needs. If you require traditional computer functions such as keyboard for word etc, it does not match up to my expectations. If you want it more as an entertainment center, then it as an improvement on my previous model.
I guess my ten year old daughter won out. She uses it all the time to watch “Merlin”, whilst I am still banging the keybord on the old IBM!

This laptop has everything my son asked for in a computer. He uses it every day.

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.
