HP Pavilion g4 (1215dx)

Netbook, schmetbook. If you were thinking of going undersize just because netbooks are cheap, take a look at the HP Pavilion G4 (model 1215dx) instead. At $379 (as of November 7, 2011), this Best Buy-only, all-purpose laptop with a 14-inch, 1366-by-768-resolution display offers much better all-around performance than a typical netbook in a far more usable size. It even supports games adequately at low resolution. A major factor contributing to the G4's low price is its use of AMD's affordable new 1.9GHz A4-3300M processor. You also get 4GB of DDR3 memory, 512MB of which goes to the integrated Radeon HD 6480G graphics; a 5400-rpm, 320GB Hitachi hard drive; and a DVD burner. The unit weighs 4.5 pounds, meaning that it's easy enough to carry though perhaps not truly svelte. Battery life is an acceptable 4 hours, 13 minutes at the laptop's default power settings. The G4 earned a score of only 77 on PCWorld's WorldBench 6 test suite, but subjectively the unit feels quite sprightly. If you don't mind reducing your display to a resolution of 800 by 600 pixels, the system can deliver playable gaming frame rates in the low 30s.

HP Pavilion g4 Review

The HP Pavilion g4's $379 price will make your eyes pop. Available exclusively through Best Buy, the AMD A4-3300M-powered laptop doesn't have the specs of a high performer, but at this price point, shoppers are looking for a competent system for web surfing, light media consumption, and e-mail. Fortunately, with strong audio, wide viewing angles, and a comfy keyboard, the Pavilion g4 is a lot more than just competent.The Pavilion g4 has a simple, understated design--it doesn't have any interesting embellishments aside from a slightly raised HP logo on the bottom corner of the lid. Our unit was a nondescript charcoal gray, although HP does offer the laptop in other shades (Pearl Pink, Pewter, and Sonoma Red) for $25 more. Despite being made from plastic, the g4's glossy lid feels sturdy, but it's a fingerprint magnet.Open up the notebook, and you'll find the same glossy gray finish on the lid. Both the screen and the deck are framed in black, though the screen is bordered with a black matte plastic.Weighing in at 4.6 pounds and measuring 13.4 x 9.1 x 1.2-1.4 inches, the Pavilion g4 has just about the right heft for a machine of this size. (For comparison's sake, the 14-inch Lenovo IdeaPad V470--measuring 13.4 x 9.2 x 1.2 inches--has exactly the same weight.)
