WE USE OUR LAPTOP IN THE LIVING ROOM AS A SECOND COMPUTER. IT'S CONVENIENT, A GREAT SCREEN SIZE, LOTS OF HP EXTRAS LIKE FREE TRIAL GAMES,GREAT SPEED. I DON'T HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE EXTRA KEYS ON THE SIDE OF THE KEYBOARD- JUST NEED TIME TO GET USED TO THE KEYBOARD TOUCH, WHICH IS DIFFERENT ON EVERY NEW KEYBOARD YOU BUY... I MAY START USING A SMALL MOUSE, THOUGH. FINDING IT HARD TO ADJUST TO THE MOUSE BEING MY FINGER... HARD TO PLAY GAMES WITHOUT A MOUSE, AND I SPEND ALOT OF TIME MOVING MY FINGER AROUND FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER. IT'S HANDY FOR NORMAL WORKING ON A COMPUTER, BUT FOR GAMES OR INTERNET BROWSING, I'D RATHER USE A MOUSE.

I have never bought expensive computers, so I am not a computer snob who is comparing this to other expensive computers.Let me start out with what I like. I like the keyboard. It feels firm and the quick keys on the side are nice. The computer looks great and I really like the design. Also, has great features for it price like build in web cam, HD port, card reader,3 UBS ports, and speakers sound good.What I don't like. -The display looks washed out. I even try to adjust the color and 'gamma', but it seemed like I could not set the 'gamma' low enough to give me the idea setting. I don't know if this is just an issue with my computer's display or an issue with all of these. - The Mouse Pad looks cool, but does not work well. Fist the buttons are hard to press. Second the mouse pad is textured and flows right into the case. Looks cool, but sometimes hard to figure out where the scroll up and down or side to side is on the pad. Also the texture can get a little uncomfortable after using. Conclusion: After rebate I paid [$]. no tax, [...] If I could I would probable send it back and pay $100 more to getting something better. Since I can return. I am not to hurt being I got a good price for a computer that does work well but has some noticeable draw backs.

Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard G62-340US 15.6" Notebook Computer (Charcoal with Prism Imprint):
Excellent value.
Great for business & home.
The one thing that truly takes away the 5th star is the
touchpad - Takes a bit of thumb strength to use.
... Compared to a MacBook.
I would recommend this items for friends.

Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard G62-340US 15.6" Notebook Computer (Charcoal with Prism Imprint):
I use this computer for personal and business purposes. It has plenty of memory and a fast enough processor to manage my massive music collection. The size is about perfect. The screen is large enough to watch movies and the computer is small enough that I do not feel like I am carrying around a desktop. The mouse pad and the battery life are the only things that I would change about it at this point. The clicker is not as user friendly as it should be. the battery life could be a little better but is still not bad. Overall this computer was a great buy and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good personal computer.

The laptop is used at home for mix personal and professional purposes. Bright screen, comfortable keyboard, and very quick with Windows 7. Only minor complaint is the mouse buttons are not too sensitive and require more of an effort to activate than the very sensitive keyboard.

Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard G62-340US 15.6" Notebook Computer (Charcoal with Prism Imprint):
nice package but the touch pad and scrollbar are unusable you must use an external mouse. Not enough RAM to run windows 7 well, very slow and balky. The combination of the poorly designed touch pad and the abominable windows 7/ explorer 8 keep this unit on the shelf most of the time. I put a new HD in my old compaq and loaded Ubuntu, it runs rings around my new G62.

Comments about HP / Hewlett Packard G62-340US 15.6" Notebook Computer (Charcoal with Prism Imprint):
I'm not an expert on computers/laptops; I mainly use mine for the internet and listening to music - and this one does the job quite well! The scroller thing/mouse pad (I don't know what you call it)is a little weird to get used to. And after reading the reviews, I now know what everyone is referring to as "bloatware" -- first time I tried to shut off the laptop, it said to wait for the 55 updates to install!!! yikes! Still don't really know how to tame this beast....

I like the laptop for its price, but the exterior picture look nicer than it is. regardless, you get what you pay for. It's pretty fast, it's a good start up pc. I didn't know it doesn't come with backup cd's just incase you need to re-install.
