HP G60 review
Rating:3 out of 5 stars
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!
Good value for the money

I purchased the HP G60-237NR notebook PC in February for less than 550.00. This laptop has all the features and ports I needed. I have had good customer service from HP when I had questions. I have Vista and we bought this same laptop for my Mom last month at Amazon with the new Windows7. I would recommend this laptop for the average user. I use it for email, shopping the web, MS application software, Skype, LinkedIn, DVD play, and watching Hulu tv over the web. The volume was not loud enough to watch a DVD movie while on vacation in our RV so I bought small external speakers to plug in at a cost of less than $30.00.
Don’t buy at Amazon

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.
