Hewlett-Packard HP G70-120EA (NG503EA#ABU): Reliable Low Cost Notebook

Performance and reliability are two key elements that Hewlett Packard continues to improve on in each product. The core development is always focused on the speed, delivery and soundness of the machine. The Hewlett-Packard G70-120EA is another performance-oriented laptop from HP. Almost all of HP’s laptops have a robust, solid and a conventional design. The same process has been infused into the G70-120EA business laptop making it durable and relatively reliable.

Powered by a 2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T5800 processor and a 3 MB DDR 2 SDRAM this laptop has more than sufficient computing power to tackle basic processes. The 160 GB free memory provided on this may seem like ample storage space for movies, music, images or other business related data. However in this day and age when developers are pushing the limits and increasing space storage dramatically, HP should follow suit and probably increase the capacity of its hard drive. The 17 inch WXGA+ TFT active matrix screen is a sheer delight as it brings to life rich colours and vivid details. The 1440 x 900 resolution capacity makes the images crisper and sharper. It comes pre-loaded with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium definitely makes the experience as user-friendly as possible. It comes equipped with 3 USB slots and 5-in-1 card reader that greatly increases the connectivity. The HDMI connector offered is a great option only if you have an HD television. The WLAN onboard to wirelessly connect to the net is a great feature though it has become a standard with most devices now. The Hewlett Packard HP G70-120EA notebook also features a webcam with an integrated microphone for video chatting on the go. The NVIDIA GeForce 9200M GE video graphics card increases the graphics tremendously. It comes equipped with a Blu-Ray DVD±R/RW Drive. Although the eject button is placed in such a manner that it makes opening the drive a tad bit difficult. Driven by a 6 cell lithium ion battery the power back-up is decent enough.

The most remarkable aspect that needs to be mentioned is the capacity of the laptop to remain relatively cool even though it might be running heavy games or programs. All-in-all an efficient, performance-based, reliable and durable laptop that fulfils most requirements.
