I am having a great time using my G-60. It’s great for watching movies with the widescreen ratio! The widescreen allows room for the number keypad.
Mine came with 32-bit Windows Vista, but I didn’t buy it at circuit city. I needed the 32-bit version because my Handycam required it.

I bought the D60-120US 32 bit version last October from Circuit City in Plantations, Miami. In December the screen just went blank and will not boot up. I noticed the hibernation light keeps blinking and will not go off even if unit is turned off and back on again. I was told it’s possible the graphics card failed.
The problem is I am in Trinidad W.I., I spoke to HP help desk and they told me that there are no HP repair centers in Trinidad. I was alos told the unit needs to be returned to ther US for the warranty to be effected.
Please advise.
