5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, January 28, 2010

By	Benjamin D. Kittrell "Ben" (Wichita, KS USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: HP G60-630US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)

This laptop worked perfectly right out of the box! I had absolutely no problems setting this machine up or in getting it to connect to my network. It does everything that it was advertised as being able to do. Even the built in webcam works great. If there is even a single negative , it's that it comes with a lot of superfluous HP software. Other than that, I am incredibly pleased with this laptop.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great laptop for everyday use - battery could be longer lasting, February 1, 2010

By	MB "dharma bum" (Massachusetts) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HP G60-630US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)

Overall, I'm very happy with this laptop. Works great, is fast, clear picture, and love the Windows 7 vs. my old Vista. Only gripe is the battery lasts under 2 hours with normal use - not the 3.75 hours listed. We keep ours plugged in mostly, and use on the go as necessary. Would buy similar one again, just upgrade the battery.

1.0 out of 5 stars Internal microphone does not work; HP says it's a known problem with entire G60 series. Do not buy!, March 13, 2010

By	Temporary Texan (Fort Worth, Texas) - See all my reviews

This review is from: HP G60-630US 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black) (Personal Computers)

The internal microphone is broken, and not just in the one I bought. According to HP, it's broken in the entire G60 series of laptops. I've had mine for one week; I discovered the microphone was broken on the second day, and I've been talking with HP's case managers about my options. Looks like I'm going to return it, because there's no fix in the works at HP. And who needs a laptop that you can't use for videoconferencing, Skype, Gmail Videochat, and so on? It's a shame, too, because the laptop is otherwise great.

Why is HP still selling this product when they know it's dysfunctional?
