Discount HP Pavilion G7-1277DX Laptop (AMD Dual-Core A4-3300M 4GB DDR3 320GB

Customer Ratings:

I've had this laptop for 4 months. The build quality is pretty good and the screen is bright and vivid. Has a decent Radeon HD 6xxx series GPU and runs linux well.

My *biggest* complaint is while the laptop offers lots of physical room for expandability, HP has locked down the BIOS so no wireless cards or other upgrades can be made to the machine. Inserting any other mini PCIe upgrades to the machine results in the bios complaining at boot about a "unapproved upgrade" and locking.

Had lots of potential, but the lack of upgradability is a game killer.

I've had my laptop for a couple of weeks now and I am very impressed with the speed and capabilities that it has to offer. The graphics are awesome!!! The Windows 7 program that it comes with is also very easy and straight-forward. I'm really loving this. I would recommend this product. For the price it can't be beat.

I've hand this laptop for over a year now and its been exceptional. I use it as my secondary machine for when I need a larger screen to collaborate with others in meetings. I also use it quite a bit in my office. In spite of it being an A4 all my applications run snappy.

This week I upgraded to Windows 8 without any issues. I did use HP Support Assistant software to ensure that all the proper drivers were downloaded.

I like the imprinted touchpad quite a bit as well as the ability to turn it off with a double-tap when using a mouse.

I would like a firmer keyboard but I'm able to type fine on this one.

I have been using this laptop for the past 6 months.

+s:

Extremely good screen (you can't find this quality screen in many cheap laptops. It does not have the regular "mesh" pattern of other cheap laptops)

Very well balanced performance. Not very fast for intense calculations, but I can do almost anything with it. It will handle it, but with a bit of patience.

17 inch screen is wonderful for multitaskin (excel, word, paint, gimp, matlab etc all open at the same time)

-s: feels not very durable (plastic feeling). Won't dare to drop it.

fan noise (specially when firefox and opera run at the same time)

Not the fastest cpu. But having a nice cheap 17" system needs some sacrifices.

tmouse-pad is ok but scroll-down/up 2 fingers gesture is not easy in practice.

Unlike Dell, HP does not send a Windows installation cd. So if necessary, I will need to use Dell's cd to install a fresh Windows!

All in all, I can't complain about this considering the price. It is well worth more than the price at the time of purchase (~ $380). Did I mention how perfect is the screen?!
