Reviews of HP - Pavilion G6-2278DX Laptop / AMD Quad-Core A8-4500M Processor

Customer Ratings:

So far so good. Love the space, love the numeric keypad, love how the keys feel when I press on them, the cam is good, mic is good. I'm not up to date with Windows 8 so navigating around has been kind of frustrating but I love the computer. Bought it for school so I think it could have came with a Microsoft package but ooh well. I still love it!

worked great with very light use until 2 weeks after the warranty expired. immediately after, the fan failed and the atheros wireless adapter disappeared from the device manager. after researching the issue, found out that this is a fairly common problem and that the cheap atheros card is dead. unfortunately, due to limited choices for compatible wireless cards, I had to order another of the same.

it works, but I've had to replace the fan ($24) and the wireless card ($15).

Honest reviews on HP - Pavilion G6-2278DX Laptop / AMD Quad-Core A8-4500M Processor

I've had HP laptops in the past and have been far from impressed but that reflects on the company itself. I purchased this laptop as I loved the new design and I heard HP is under new leadership and they were focusing on quality. Let me tell you this laptop does not disappoint! It is really fast and the AMD Quad Core does it justice. Huge HDD and operates super fast considering it doesn't have an SSD. Beautiful on the inside and out. Also Windows 8 is pretty nifty OS. Just bought a second one for my girlfriend and she loves it too! =)

I purchased this laptop because it was inexpensive and had some really great features, features I needed on the go. It has been a month or so and it has exceeded my expectations, and it only cost me $320! Refurbished?! Looked like new!

Pros:

Quad-core CPU at 1.9GHz (clockable to 2.8GHz!)

AMD Radeon HD 7640G (512MB Graphics memory at 686MHz with 256 shader cores!)

Decent sized keyboard and screen (15.6" LED at 1360x768)

Not too big or too heavy, sturdy

Standby battery life is great, while in use the battery life is average

Cons:

Arrow keys are TINY

Screen glare, the glossy plastic is garbage

If you have on old system and just want a quick upgrade to a decent laptop, get this! If you want to get a desktop, don't get this. If you want a top-notch gaming laptop, don't get this. If you just want to be able to play your favorite games on medium settings (LFD2, CS:S, Minecraft, COD:MW2, GTA:IV) , do some internet browsing and music playing, and want to play movies in 1080p: GET THIS!
