TechReviewSource.com checked out a budget notebook from HP
The HP Pavilion g6t-2000 is a fantastic budget laptop that offers good performance, a flashy design and good sounding audio. The battery life is sub par, however, and the graphics performance could definitely be better. For the sub-$500 price tag, it is still a great buy.HP Pavilion g6t-2000 Review
The HP Pavilion g6t has always been a budget laptop and this late 2012 refresh brings a speedier, albeit second-generation, Intel Core i3 CPU. It also has a wider keyboard with numeric keypad and upgraded Dolby audio.
HP designed the g6t with the average user in mind. It comes in many different colors to suit the preference of almost anyone. The four choices include blue, purple, red and white and are available for an additional $25. The lid does smudge quite a bit though with fingerprints, but that's only cosmetic.
