HP Pavilion G6-2235us

The HP Pavilion G6-2235us is a classic 15.6-inch budget laptop with only one stand out feature – a 750GB hard drive, as opposed to usual 500GB, aimed at those who download and store lots of multimedia files. You can playback these files with ease, including 1080p ones, thanks to the AMD A6-4400M dual-core processor. It’s also sufficient for all daily tasks the average user might trow at it (web, office), but it’s still a lower-mid-range chip. The AMD Radeon HD 7520G integrated graphics is excellent if you compare it to Intel’s counterparts, but it isn’t intended for 3D gaming, just like any other integrated laptop GPU. However, it can run decently 2D titles and some years-old 3D titles. To enjoy modern 3D gaming you will need a dedicated video card found in the more expensive notebooks. Regarding the display itself, it’s a 720p one with glossy coating – good for vivid colors and contrast, but bad for work in bright environments.

HP’s G6-2235us sports a utilitarian design with simple lines and glossy plastics all over it, just like all other models from the affordable g-series lineup. Also, the feature set is a standard one and includes stereo speakers with sound enhanced by Dolby Advanced, a web camera that can transmit 720p videos, three USB ports for your peripherals including two at USB 3.0 speed for faster data transfers, HDMI for hooking the laptop up to some hi-def TVs, old VGA video port, and a multimedia card reader supporting various card formats. For Internet connectivity, there are 802.11n for wireless and Ethenet LAN for wired access.

The laptop can be found for about $380 currently on the market. If you need extra 250GB of hard drive space and want to save $30, you can go for the g6-2321dx configuration with a 500GB HDD and the same other specs.
