HP Pavilion g6-1a69 Review
HP Pavilion g6-1a69 4 Star Rating: Cheapism Good Pick
Summary:
The HP Pavilion g6-1a69 captures the essence of the typical, basic cheap laptop. Neither its hardware nor its performance is above average. Users seem satisfied with the speed of the Pavilion but not blown away by it.

The HP Pavilion g6-1a69 seems to be an average laptop in nearly every respect. An HP Pavilion review by CNET finds that this laptop's performance is hampered by its older first-generation Intel i3 CPU, which is harder on battery life than the current second-generation processor. Users and experts seem to like the laptop's display but don't rave about it in HP Pavilion reviews. The color and contrast are typical for a PC in this price range, according to an HP Pavilion review from About.com, as is the performance.

The HP Pavilion g6-1a69 offers a 15.6-inch display, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive. It has an Intel i3-380M CPU under the hood and is powered by a six-cell battery. This laptop comes with three USB 2.0 ports, an HDMI port, and a DVD-R optical drive. It supports 802.11b/g/n wireless connections.

The Pavilion g6-1a69 is a prime example of a typical budget PC. Its hardware isn't outstanding, but it gets the job done well enough. While nothing sets this computer apart from other budget laptops, it doesn't have any glaring shortcomings either.
