HP has created some of the top laptops on the market, but the HP Pavilion g6t Series is one of their less advanced models. The g6t features 8GB of RAM and a large 750GB hard drive, but only a second generation processor. The high-resolution display does give it an edge over a few laptops, and this device does live up to the HP name, but be aware that there are laptops that are more powerful.

The processor on this laptop is an i5 with 2.5GHz of speed. It can get up to 3.1GHz with Turbo Boost, but this second-generation processor doesn't have the energy and cooling capabilities you find in third generation processors. You can choose to upgrade if you want, which won't require a huge financial outlay.

The upside to this laptop is the graphics card isn't integrated; instead of built into the CPU, it’s a separate processing unit. A separate graphics card can focus exclusively on its own tasks, which will give it more horsepower to do the more powerful graphics work with less overheating. It is an Intel HD Graphics 3000 graphics card.

You will find 8GB of RAM and 750GB of hard drive space available on this laptop computer. This laptop features a 15.6-inch screen with a resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. The display is large enough that you can enjoy movies, TV shows or simply web surfing. While the pixel resolution is not the highest available, it is what you would expect to find on a basic laptop computer and provides sharp and vibrant images. This device can work over seven hours on one charge, which is great when you take into consideration the display and graphics card.

The basic features on the HP Pavilion g6t Series include Wi-Fi. There is a media card reader located on the device, along with three USB ports, a VGA port and an HDMI port. The HDMI port is a large benefit as it allows you to connect the laptop to a larger monitor or an HDTV for a more enhanced viewing experience.

In addition, there is a webcam and a built-in microphone on this device for video chatting capabilities. There is no Blu-ray drive included, but it is an optional add-on when you're configuring the laptop.

HP offers excellent customer support to its laptop users. If any questions or technical problems arise, you can contact a customer service representative through email, phone or live chat support. There is a user forum located on the HP website where you can get additional assistance and feedback from other HP users. This device also comes with a one-year warranty.

Summary:

There are several benefits of using the HP Pavilion g6t Series laptop, such as the large screen, extended battery life and up to 8GB of RAM. There are a few areas where this device could see some improvements, including a newer and faster processor. But if you are looking for a basic laptop that will simply help you accomplish everyday tasks, this is a fine choice.
