HP G42-230US 14-Inch Laptop Reviews
| 33 of 34 people found the following review helpful  Decent computer, small drawbacks, By Living Life In The Midwest (Midwest USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: HP G42-230US 14-Inch Laptop (Personal Computers) !!UPDATED!!I have had my g42-230us for three months and found it to be a decent moderately powerful computer. The 7200RPM hard drive and 1Mb per core cache give it the extra "umph" it needs to compete with the Intel offers. This computer, like most consumer targeted systems, came loaded with bloatware (software that isn't required and slows down performance). I am a computer tech so the first thing I recommend for this and all consumer targeted computers is to make the restore DVD's as soon as you turn on the computer and before you connect to a network or the internet. Second thing I recommend to do is to get a genuine copy of Windows 7, then use it to reformat (and delete all extra hard drive partitions) and reinstall operating system. Doing this is almost literally the difference between night and day. You will realize more hard drive space, faster boot and shutdown, no software "nags" (other than Windows 7 "nags") or bloatware pop ups to activate and...

I looked at the specs and the price, and saw that it was a steal, and I abandoned my prejudice against HP for their past products and bought it. I am very happy that I did. I won't say the exact price that I got the computer for, but I will say that this computer is in the $600 and under category.This computer is a good mixture of good technology. The processor in this computer is a very good processor for a number of reasons. The L2 cache is 2mb as opposed to 1mb in most Turion IIs; the energy consumption is 25w, which is very low for a laptop processor of this magnitude. The M880 chipset and ATI Radeon 4250 provide a decent graphics setup; obviously, this computer isn't for modern gaming due to the lack of a dedicated video card... However, this video setup is much better than you will get with any Intel onboard graphics and will work just fine for most anything short of intensive 3D gaming/ 3D... Read more 19 of 20 people found the following review helpful Meets my needs well, By This review is from: HP G42-230US 14-Inch Laptop (Personal Computers) I have had this for over a month. Best computer I've every owned.*The keyboard feel is extremely comfortable, light, and responsive--highly important for a computer injury victim like myself. *The 14" 1366 x 768 is clear and easy to read, even for largish spreadsheets. *The 5 lb weight means I can carry it everywhere in my backpack. It's the right compromise between a heavier laptop with a bigger screen and a netbook. I have both with Windows XP, but I had to keep transferring data between them. Now I just use the G42 for home and coffee shops. *I find I like Windows 7 better than XP. I upgraded to Professional and installed the XP virtual machine to solve any compatibility problems, but haven't had to use it much. *Feels nice and sturdy. *Decent price *HDMI output. |
