Laptop Thoughts: HP Offers New Notebooks For Those Pinching Pennies

"HP has added two new notebook options to the company’s line of customizable laptops. The new budget friendly HP Pavilion G62m and the desktop replacement Pavilion dv7t, which is a 17.3? notebook powered by Intel Core i processors."

The new HP Pavillion G62m and dv7t may not turn any heads, but they are functional, low cost notebooks that will do the jobs you ask them to without much fuss. With all the hype about netbooks, then slates, it is easy to forget that a lot of people still like the traditional notebook or laptop with a nice, roomy screen and keyboard. I am glad to see that for even what HP considers their budget line, the CPUs maintain dual-core performance. As common as they are now, I find it very difficult to justify single core computers unless there are some extreme requirements. Dual or more core computers just tend to run considerably smoother and is worth the extra price they command, and battery life they sacrifice.
