HP G70-463cl

The HP G70-463cl gets you into a desktop replacement notebook for around $700.

Low price. Spacious hard drive. Good battery life. HDMI port.

Mediocre performance. Lacks media-player controls. Screen has limited viewing angles.

Review: The HP G70-120EA – An Office Dream?

With the credit crunch looming over us everyday, people want a laptop to offer them as much performance for their pound than ever before.

The Love Didn't Last

I purchased a similar model about 6 months ago. I hope this isn't a planned obsolescence thing...

Large, fast and flexible. Love the smooth touchpad

After 18 months a vertical yellow line appeared on the screen. Shortly thereafter, the wireless connection started dropping every few (~5 - 15) minutes for 1 - 2 minutes at a time. Then the keyboard decided to respond to only about 75% of the...

Great buy... But HP tech dept..?

if cust service was included in the review of the product i would have given a 2 egg rating. it got 4 for the fact it didnot come maxxed out on memory, and the fact of the keybourd failure. i didnt expect the battery to last long any ways for the large...

Has the speed to almost keep up with my desktop, large screen, large HDD, My wife loves it when it works...more to follow about that in the cons and other thoughts. but overall the laptop does what i want it to do despite the operating system of Vista...

Cons.... why not put the full 4 gigs of memory in it from the factory? so that way it would be dual channel?!!! HP cust service tech are the worst!!!!! 2 hrs online, to diagnose a hardware issue. if you typed it would jumble the letters in a random...

HP G70-250US NoteBook Intel Pentium dual-core T4200(2.00GHz) 17.0" Wide XGA+ 3GB Memory 320GB HDD 5400rpm DVD Super Multi Intel GMA 4500M

Great note book so far

Hp does not provide drivers to roll back to Windows XP. Sound is week, have to have it turned all the way up to hear. I'm using head phones, and that works out ok

It is OK and a value for a money

HP is ignorant and does not care about HP products owners. HP cares about wallets of the owners. Is HP next GM? Processor is not that for desktop - it is regular notebooks processor with 35W thermal envelope and this is good - NB does not heat and...

It is good choice fore those who keeps it on the desk and does not pretend special performance. Keyboard feels good, has clear interface. Screen is good too - shiny as all other notebooks. Sound is tiny tinny as expected. I did not have any problems...

Con 1. Horrible and offensive bloatware. It takes a while to figure out what is for and what it does and how to get rid of it ; Con 2. NB came without restore disk. Based on previous reviews, I expected to create emergency Image disk and I was wrong....

Great Laptop

Overall this is a great machine. It could use a few tweaks to make it better. (bigger battery and louder volume).

Fast processor, Lots of Ram, Lots of HD. Memory card reader. Can turn off the touch pad. Large display. Built in wireless

Battery life but that is expected with a large LCD display. I get about 3 hours out of it on the default power management settings

Great Laptop

I love HP's slick machines that run really well whe they run perfectly, but mine had a small defect and HP has HORRIBLE tech support for new machines that have a hardware issue. Newegg got this to me THE NEXT DAY!!! with rush order. (standard shipping)...

Great speed, super cheap, and all around a great machine

Mine came with a defective ODD that couldn't play or burn CDs for some reason so I had to spend 3 hours with tech support chat with 3 different people that wouldn't even admit that there could be a problem hardware-related

Good notebook

Starts really fast, nice and easy keyboard. Fingerprint is okay and in my opinion it is not a noise laptop ; I have always used with the battery plugged so I don`t really know how long it lasts. Regret on not buying the backpack together since it is a...
