HP Pavilion g4-1318dx - 14" LED Backlit Laptop/ Intel Pentium B950 Reviews

Customer Ratings:

I got this product at best buy for 350 dollars. The graphics are great, it is only 4.7 pounds, and does not get hot. the only thing I would change about this computer would be to make it have a longer battery. Another con is that the CD drive sticks out a little bit. These two cons that I found should not stop you from buying this product. This is one of the best computers out there for less then 450 dollars.

I bought this at bestbuy for $350, must I say I am impressed by the laptop! you cant beat that performance and battery life at the pricepoint. HP has left dell and lenovo WAYY behind in terms of quality. I love the laptop, and love it that i didnt have to break the bank to purchase it.

Like many others, I got this laptop for $357(yes, tax is an expense too) from Best Buy, and it is honestly one of the best investments I've ever made. I've had this beautiful laptop for a little over a year now and wow has it been absolutely phenomenal in every way. The keyboard is very nice and the CAPS LOCK button has a cute light right on the button itself. The touchpad has a lock feature which never once was activated by accident, but it's a super helpful feature when watching a video. This little powerhouse has 3 USB ports, CD/DVD drive, ethernet AND HDMI ports! I've never had any speed issues, it is not unpromising if the connection is okay. I can watch a youtube video and skype at the same time with not a single lag in both program's performance. I only give a product 5 stars if I REALLY REALLY LOVE it, and it's a huge shame that this has been discontinued. I fear I won't get another laptop this good for such an affordable price ever again.

Honest reviews on HP Pavilion g4-1318dx - 14" LED Backlit Laptop/ Intel Pentium B950

This is my first laptop, although I have used others, primarily a Toshiba Satellite series (which was over $200 more. I find this extremely fast (especially with Roadrunner as my ISP). The graphics are sharp and crystal clear. The CD/DVD player is about the only downfall I have experienced with this, but I do have an external cd/dvd drive, so I just use that. It puts my Dell Optiplex desktop to shame. The only "issues" i have experienced in the 5 months I have been using it are fairly new (within the past week or so)occasionally the wifi does not turn itself on nor will it turn on when the key button is pressed. (I just restart it when that happens), battery life is shorter than it could be and when I play YouTube too long the laptop will freeze and make a very annoying noise (I just restart it), if I pay close attention I can catch it before it freezes (the video will stop but the audio continues).

I will admit, I am not into the WOW or online games like that so I cannot rate it's perfomance in that category. But for what I want it to do online surfing and some old school non online games like American Mcgee's Alice, the Command and Conquer series, Sports Mogul football and baseball, Sim city, etc. With the portability it works great. I am extremely happy with it for the price I paid. Compared to the Toshiba I had used in the past, this is definitely a much better laptop/notebook, for me and when I know it was so much more affordable then I truly have no complaints and LOVE HP (BTW this was my first HP product besides a printer).

now, this is my first laptop, so I don't have EXTENSIVE knowledge about comparisons and the like, however, I do like this laptop. its not too big, but its also not too small. I do think that it could be a little bit faster, but for my first laptop, its pretty nice. you can't bog it down with a bunch of resource-intensive programs but I have frostwire, gimp, audacity, skype, AVG(my anti-virus), and CCleaner(who doesn't love CCleaner??), and it still works fine! this is one of those computers where you HAVE to take care of it, you can't be like most people and not clean out the history and the cache and all that. CCleaner is a NECCESSITY for this computer, otherwise youre going to have a $400 paperweight :/ overall, very good product for a cheap price. OH! and I LOVE the trackpad! its got these ridges so its tangible, the smooth trackpads just feel weird to me. (I actually bought a wireless mouse to use with it because the mouse buttons aren't very good quality if you like to click on a lot of things, they start to get loose, and that just worried me, so I got the mouse!)
