| 1271365 | 2012-04-24 23:28:00 | The problem is in the past the HP consumer range hasn't been of the greatest quality. I have a macbook from 2007, we also have a HP Pav. from 2010. My Macbook looks like it did when I got it (only slightly dirtier) and the HP is literally falling apart. Might pay to look at one to see what the build quality is like. The HP Pavilion g6 is, above all things, totally average. It's definitely not a performance machine, or a sexy piece of art, but if you're just looking for a decent laptop for Web surfing, word processing, and lightweight photo editing, it's a pretty good deal. The only real drawback I see is battery life--HP says you'll get 5.5 hours, but we managed to get only 4 usable hours out of the g6's battery in our testing. Read more: www.pcadvisor.co.uk Seems a bit harsh. Only 6/10 and the only thing the could say was really wrong was the battery life. Whereas Asus (from memory) hasn't really ever been extremely unreliable. Nothing wrong with buy HP as long as you check out the model you're looking at extensively whereas Asus I'd feel much more comfortable going into a shop buying and leaving without doing much research (not that I'd ever recommend doing that :p). |

| 1271368 | 2012-04-25 00:18:00 | oh wait, 64 bit media included | GameJunkie (72) | ||
| 1271369 | 2012-04-25 00:36:00 | Yeah windows 7 keys go for both 32 and 64 bit. So even if you dont get the disk you can just download an iso or something. | icow (15313) | ||
| 1271370 | 2012-04-25 08:35:00 | What are you going top be using the thing for? If business and you want something solid, then a Thinkpad or an HP Probook. Both solid, both durable. I have a Probook 17.3" i7, a bit heavy on the gas if you run it with the Radeon graphics on, rather than the onboard Intel chip, but otherwise not bad, and all that brushed alloy means you wouldn't want to be hauling it around classes or lectures all day without the assistance of a good coolie. |

| 1271371 | 2012-04-25 09:04:00 | HP . . . hmm quality can be a bit iffy, have used 3x in the past . The newer ones are better but I recon it will take another generation or even two to get them proper . tbh, the only thing going for a macbook is the build quality . Other than that the price is just too high to justify it . OSX is nice enough but the specs, support and price dont add up |

OSX is nice enough but the specs, support and price dont add up Absolutely nothing wrong with the build quality on my HP Probook, it's sold, mainly metal, everything fits nicely and it hasn't fallen to bits as yet . Are you talking about HP Pavillions, which a different kettle of fish entirely? |
