For The Budget Conscience The Hp G62T: Laptop Computer Review

With HP presenting the G62t as a budget friendly everyday use laptop we didn't want to expect to much in the performance section or build quality section. However by just looking at the specifications we can't help but hope that the G62t laptop will prove us wrong. Keep reading to find out just how well this 15.6″ laptop could be positive additive into your daily life.

Affordability and style

The first things you'll quickly realize when shopping around for this laptop is that you'll be able to get a better system if you configure it on the HP online store. The online store offers you a chance to upgrade just about everything on this laptop. The base price without any fiddling for the HP G62t is $599.

Once you do get yours in-front of you the other thing that will become very obvious is the borrowed styling from HP's premium level laptops the HP Envy 13 and 15. The body styles for both the G62t and the Envy's is apparent but the difference is the roughly $1000 more you pay for the Envy series laptops over the base G62t.

Great multimedia capabilities

Onto some important components, the screen is very important and HP didn't cheat you on the screen for this 15.6″ notebook. With some adding of some options like the optional blu-ray drive this notebook could easily become an Entertainment Notebook. The G62t uses a 15.6″ LED back-lit display that has the only draw back of only being 720p capable. Other than the 720p which isn't much of a downside the 16:9 LED monitor will offer a noticeable upgrade to any previous generation budget notebooks.

The next important thing to talk about is the laptops build quality. With the HP G62t build quality and all-around thoughtful design can't be stressed enough. Starting off with the decision to use a matte finished outer case instead of the glossy ones you see on their similarly priced laptops was great. With the matte finish you don't have to be constantly wiping off the finger-prints that would be all of the place with a glossy case. The rest of the body is made from the same magnesium alloy that you'll find on the HP Envy series and Mac Book Pro laptops.

Keep the lights on when using this one…

The touchpad on the G62t is blended into the palmrest and really only has a noticeable outline to let you know where it is. It feels just as the palm rests do and this could be a problem for some. The buttons for the right and left click are one single bar placed below the space for the touchpad, this can also prove to be a problem for some.

Some perks added by HP to this laptop include the Altec Lansing speakers, webcam and the Energy Star of approval for efficiency. However the Altec Lansing speakers performed Less Than spectacular so we do recommend some headphones or external speakers for this laptop. We found the webcam to be satisfactory and the Energy Star sticker to be reassuring that we are helping reduce environmental damage.

Conclusion

The sturdy and modern styling of the HP G62t laptop was much appreciated and for the starting price of $600 we hope other companies start doing this. The pluses for this laptop both in performance and in function far out weight the conundrum of the touchpad. For the price you really can't go wrong with the HP G62t laptop.
