This laptop provides a great deal with both performance and economy (price). The monitor size is generous (17 inches), which is important to me because I write lots of technical documents. Its weight is somewhat large (nearly 10 lbs), so if you are looking for ultra portable notebooks, this is probably not what you are looking for.
With the ample memory (3 GB), Vista runs smoothly and programs load up quickly. Program installs proceed without hiccups. Even when the computer is running lots of programs, I do not notice any thrashing to the hard disk and the machine purrs on.
Other comments: Laptop does not get heated up. The keyboard size is ample, allowing the hands to rest on the laptop while typing. Battery life is somewhat limited (typically less than 3 hours), but the machine performance does not degrade when disconnected from AC power.
All in all, a great buy.

Great graphics, lots of memory. The one minor drawback, and it is only minor for me, is that it's a bit heavy. I don't have to spend my days toting it around, so it's not an issue for me.
Alot of bang for your buck here, and I'm glad I bought it!......
HP Pavilion G60-230US 16.0-Inch Laptop
I had been searching for a 16 in laptop to replace my desktop, and chose this HP. So far, I have been extremely happy with the choice, and have no complaints. I am no techie and find it easy to deal with and perfect for my non business use.......
This machine performs as I expected it to. There is quality written all over it. I am very pleased with the amount of pressure/resistance in the keys, the size of the keys (except the function keys at the top -- should have been larger), and the finish.......
I purchased this laptop after comparing price/performance for low cost laptops. I ruled out AMD CPUs as comparable Intel mobile processors are faster. I have been using this HP for 10 days and have found it to be an excellent computer after a number of changes as follows:
1. Uninstalled all the trial software and other programs I will not use.
2. Ran MSConfig, Startup, and removed every program from Startup except the four items for the Intel Graphics processor.
3. Went to Administrative Services and comparing it with the recommendations on [...] changed a lot of services from Automatic (startup) to either Manual or Disable. This removed a lot more programs that ran at startup.
4. Added a number of new programs that I use.
5. Upgraded the memory from 3GB to 4GB.
Even before I performed step 5. above, this computer was now very fast It uses an Intel T4200 mobile dual processor which is only about 8% slower than the Intel T6400 processor featured in most of the higher priced mainstream laptops. If you wish to upgrade memory, there is one step that is not included in any instructions I have seen. After changing a memory module, you must disconnect the hard drive for 5 seconds or more or your computer will not start. I found this out after an hour on the phone with HP tech support. I highly recommend HP tech support as I found them to be knowledgeable even if they are in India. Upgrading the memory will not void your warranty. One thing to note - the HP warranty is 90 days with HP paying for shipping both ways, labor and materials. After that for the balance of one year you pay shipping and labor and HP pays for parts.
Everything works well, from easy wireless connection to the modem, etc. I like everything about this laptop and recommend it if you can buy it a low price. HP has a rebate on this computer until June 27th, and also offers a full or partial rebate on certain HP printers when you buy this computer.
