[fallingcities200]

All commenters. He doesn't know much about computers, projector thing, lock thing paper on top. There really (in the same order stated) VGA, Kensington lock, and anti static wrapping. Maybe he forgot to mention that it has ati radoen graphics the processor clock or memory clock. Maybe the model number so we know the g6 that's 600 from another 600 g6 laptop. I stopped watching halfway through because he didn't know anything.

[leafspie2020]

@fallingcities200 listen smart ass no i dont know much i just did a quick review... im glad you stopped watching since you know more than me:) go fuck yourself

My mate got the same laptop as me and he had ATI Radeon HD graphics and when we checked the laptop he got his graphics level was rated 5.8 and mine was rated 5.1 ><

[cj3win]

hp pavilion G6 is better than Packard bell EasyNote TS Core i7...

[jimbob20051]

i have the laptop you have except with these specs: AMD phenom(TM) II P960 Quad-core processor 1.80GHz 4.0gb ram

64-bit operating system windows 7 home premium

[leafspie2020]

@jimbob20051 good:)

[Game4Trailerz]

@leafspie2020 do you know what these are like for world of warcraft

[xboxlivelover17]

@Game4Trailerz there great I have a Hp G7 but it's basically the same laptop but it's a 17.3 inch, gaming wise the laptop is great I'm actually shocked because I didn't think it was a gaming pc when I baught but I'm happy I did because it's awesome.

[HYLGBow]

[NobleCreator]

[leafspie2020]

@NobleCreator what do you mean by vegas? and webcam is not hd its normal

[NobleCreator]

@leafspie2020 sony vegas pro 10 its a video editing software.

[leafspie2020]

@NobleCreator oh ya ok.. my buddy has that and it should work fine on this pc

[itsmrhoax]

Is it still working fine? Should I get it?

[leafspie2020]

@itsmrhoax still working fine.. its a good laptop for its price

[Newbiegirl101]

Does it overheat or reach really high temps when gaming?

[leafspie2020]

@Newbiegirl101 I don't game on computers but you should get a cooling pad if you game just in case

[Billerica34]

@Newbiegirl101 my hardrive overheated from gaming -_- get a cooling case and it should be fine!

[5876mg]

I bought a HP 2000 Notebook on August 8.

- Bluetooth

$450.00

[XInfinityXify]

yo i have the same laptop as you and my ctrl key sometimes randomly comes on.... does it happen to you?

[leafspie2020]

@XInfinityXify im not sure what you mean by your ctrl key coming on... i guess it doesnt happen to me since i have no idea about the issue..

[XInfinityXify]

@leafspie2020 At random times, my my laptop thinks my ctrl key is being pressed... Should I return my pavilion g6 laptop?

[leafspie2020]

@XInfinityXify oh that sucks.. may be a faulty thing not sure, i would go to the store you got it at and have it checked out and if they see the problem they will fix it and i doubt it will be an expensive fix.

[XInfinityXify]

@leafspie2020 oh thankssss

[leafspie2020]

@XInfinityXify no problem

[TheZiggiization]

whats the price for it in u.s ?

[leafspie2020]

@TheZiggiization should be same price in canada too, $599 (my model)

[MooseTomson]

@leafspie2020 a saw a 4 gb 500 gb hardive hp pavilion g6 for 379.99

[leafspie2020]

@MooseTomson thats a good deal

[JazzingJasmine]

@MooseTomson where?

[MooseTomson]

@JazzingJasmine I got mine from office max for 329.99 but you have to spend 50 in store.

[AzzyIrons]

does the laptop have bluetooth and a mic? :D

[leafspie2020]

@AzzyIrons yes for both

[emokiddy666]

so is this i5 a quad core? a true quad core i mean, as the cpu gadget on my desktop shows 4 cores, i dont know whether its 4 physical cores or two physical and two virtual, oh and thats weird with 4gig ram i have 6 in mine stock.

[lilry511]

How come mine only has i3 :(

[XEXinital]

mw2 runs smooth if you play it at low settings ;)

[XEXinital]

you can game black ops on this computer but it laggs on mine i got 4gb ram 500gb i3 cs runs smooth and minecraft isnt lagging much at high settings

[smajjd]

dont forget wanna play games on a laptop i suggest u use a joystick!!!!

[smajjd]

have been using is laptop for about 2months with a graphic card have no complaints what so ever... oh yah played games like assasins creed brotherhood, revelations, nfs run and hot pursuit high end graphics did not find any lags or jitter may be i got i out of luck or some thing....

though the keyboard is bad but the lap performs fine depends on how people use it...

looks simple.. performs well am pleased with the battery 4 hrs ....

[leafspie2020]

@smajjd good to hear!

[BurgessCalvin]

Does this computer bring u pleasure?

[leafspie2020]

@BurgessCalvin calvin you son of a bitch! brings me more than pleasure!! haahhah ;)

[BurgessCalvin]

Does this computer bring u pleasure?

[BurgessCalvin]

Does this computer bring u pleasure?

[BurgessCalvin]

Does this computer bring u pleasure?

[MaTThEwDKeLLy]

Can this run minecraft on high settings?

[leafspie2020]

@MaTThEwDKeLLy i can comfortably say it could run it on low settings looking at specs but i am not sure about high settings. I do not play pc games so i dont know for sure:(

[Soer8808]

Can this pc run games well?

[leafspie2020]

@Soer8808 yes low-medium settings (depending on the game) :)

[Soer8808]

@leafspie2020 What if it just games like CS, Team Fortress 2, GMOD and some other small steam-games?

[leafspie2020]

@Soer8808 ya im sure it could run games like those i cant say for certain if it will be able to run them on high settings.

[jlm18299]

What's better g6 or dv6?!?

[leafspie2020]

@jlm18299 dv6 are better but are more expensive. g6 is the cheaper end of the scale but are reliable and work great. dv6's are usually built more durable etc.. they are both great models though. :D

[Munger88]

this laptop play modern warfare 2 and skyrim? i noticed the skyrim wallpaper...

[leafspie2020]

@Munger88 yes, low-medium settings

[scooterkingbristol]

there only 350 pound at currys at the moment yes

[OviJohn]

please answer!Is good enough for Heroes might and magic VI?

[leafspie2020]

@OviJohn i dont play games on the computer so i cant answer you directly. this lap top can play most games on medium settings usually. hope this helps:)

[331Marius]

mine have i3 procesor

and 3gb ram 

[OlafLooL]

Yo i subscribed Thanks! But i have one quisten Is it a good computer to play on?

[leafspie2020]

@OlafLooL thanks man, really appreciate it:D you can play games but medium settings usually; its not the best lap top for games. :)

[bdblank01]

@leafspie2020 i got mine just 3 days ago haven't open'd it do you have ATI 6440m & can you play skyrim V on this with a good config with good textures or battlefield 3

[OlafLooL]

@leafspie2020 Ok Thx ;)

[leafspie2020]

@OlafLooL no problem:)

[xMandalorex]

Any screen problems dude ?

[leafspie2020]

@xMandalorex nope

[xMandalorex]

@leafspie2020

hmmm

my G6 has a screen flicker NOW AND THEN, not always there it shows up once a blue moon.

nothing at all ?

[leafspie2020]

@xMandalorex oh man that sucks:( no hasn't happened to me at all.

[xMandalorex]

@leafspie2020

Just replaced mine and no problems at all

do you know how much ram it can take ? mine has 6GB and i was hoping it can take 16GB? 2 x 8GB Sticks.

??

[leafspie2020]

@xMandalorex honestly not sure, i dont want to give you a guessed answer. my suggestion is if you go to the store you got it from and ask the guys there, the guys there should know. :)

[xMandalorex]

@leafspie2020

kk cheers man,

[leafspie2020]

@xMandalorex cheers!

[conorlovesfaces]

@xMandalorex It takes a max of 6gb.

[xMandalorex]

@conorlovesfaces

impossible

because mine has 6GB ram one 4GB stick and the other a 2GB stick, wouldn't make sense i would say it would handle 8GB max, also the G6 has had a BIOS update F.43

[conorlovesfaces]

@xMandalorex From what I read, it was a max of 6GB. In any case, what use is 8GB ram going to be without a decent GPU or processor? an i3 processor can only get you so far, 8gb of ram with that is useless. I'd say stick with 6GB, like you say it's most likely that it can take 8GB max. No point in upgrading it any more.

[xMandalorex]

@conorlovesfaces

Mine isn't an I3 tho, mines a AMD Quad Core 2ghz, and i've just found out it does take 8GB max.

[firekiller1414]

you can change sensativity

[Mac799158]

Hy bro nice video i subscribe to you , but i need help i konsidering of buying this laptop onli for surfing and serching web and for facebokk,twiter,my space ans skype so wil this machine do the work??? :D

[leafspie2020]

@Mac799158 hey man thanks for the kind words and the sub, really appreciate it. I use this lap top for exactly like what you want to use, i surf and use facebook, twitter etc... it works great. Since this lap top is on the lower end of the scale (price wise) it still works brilliantly for things like this. the mic is good, only issue i have with the webcam is that it isnt HD. there isnt a big lag in the webcam either so thats good:) i think youll really like this lap top like i do:)

[TheCashman007]

hay did you get any cd's i have the red one and i did not get any cd's

[leafspie2020]

@TheCashman007 recovery disks? if by cd you mean the recovery disk for it ya i got the recovery disk for the laptop.. had to pay an extra 50 or 60 bucks for it though :/

[jallohabubakarr]

NOT BAD FOR A KID LIKE YOU KEEP IT UP WHAT ABOUT THE MANUAL ?

[leafspie2020]

@jallohabubakarr what about the manual?

[jallohabubakarr]

@leafspie2020 DIDN'T YOU BUY THE PC WITH A MANUAL

[leafspie2020]

@jallohabubakarr yeah but im not sure where i put it (i dont use it)

[jallohabubakarr]

@leafspie2020 I'LL BE HAVING MINE TOMORROW I DON'T IF IT'LL BE A MANUAL

[BlackMagixFTW]

750GB Hard Drive

Just for anyone that's interested. Sorry if this comment is annoying :D Its available in PC World :)

[leafspie2020]

@BlackMagixFTW thanks for the comment:D

[BlackMagixFTW]

@leafspie2020 Its alright :)

[TOILETSMELLER13]

Just got this laptop this evening at best buy for $399. It was an Awesome deal!

[ashnaw100]

im going to buy this laptop next week, and I've also heard many things about hp laptops overheating etc.. So can anybody who use this laptop, tell me whether it overheat when gaming and stuff??

Thanks in advance!

[leafspie2020]

@ashnaw100 hey, i dont play games on this so i cant say it will or wont heat up playing games, i doubt it but someone else may answer that question; but in general this lap top doesnt heat up at all, and ive been on it literally all day sometimes for school and stuff and it doesnt heat up:)

[ashnaw100]

@leafspie2020 ow.. ok. if you say you use it 'all day' and it don't heat up then I think it'll be good for me.

Thanks for the reply!! :D

[leafspie2020]

@ashnaw100 ya and when i use for long periods, i have my lap top on my desk.. if you use this lap top on your lap a lot on your bed or something it does heat up..

[ashnaw100]

@leafspie2020 ok. :) actualy i had already ordered a cooling pad as some kind of 'precaution' when playing, so i'll be using it on desk..

[leafspie2020]

@ashnaw100 ok ya thats great, cooling pads work cuz i used it on my old lap top and it helped a lot:)

[GoldenGigabyte]

@ashnaw100 hey, i would suggest buying a other laptop if your planning to game. this laptop does over heap a lot, and lags heaps. i suggest the compaq cq-57, its fast and reliable and good for gaming.

[ObservedFIREFLY]

lol my g6 is the 1009sa, 2.3ghz dual core amd k10, 4gb ram, 500gb hard drive, if only it was a quad core, i wouldnt be so envious of this guy

[DaveMitchelli]

6gb i5 is best

[leafspie2020]

@DaveMitchelli it is :D

[AidanHoots]

can you game on it like star wars old republic?

[leafspie2020]

@AidanHoots i dont play pc games but it should run star wars

[NSYNCFAN19]

i have intel core i3

[leafspie2020]

@NSYNCFAN19 cool:D

[bhenne56]

@NSYNCFAN19 me too

[ImCreePo]

run minecraft ? and IS It HP PAIVILON g6 1240sa ?

[leafspie2020]

@ImCreePo yes it will run minecraft and i have (G6-1C58CA)

[TheNormine]

can it rin minecraft

[leafspie2020]

@TheNormine yep

[ADruggedHobo]

@leafspie2020 Ok, thanks! :)

[ADruggedHobo]

can this computer run battlefield 3 and skyrim?

[leafspie2020]

@ADruggedHobo yes, low setting though

[monster3754]

@leafspie2020 can it run skyrim on higher then low

[leafspie2020]

@monster3754 not sure but spec wise i doubt you can run skyrim on the highest settings

[monster3754]

@leafspie2020 i have i5 6gb ram and AMD Radeon HD 6470M

[leafspie2020]

@monster3754 nice:)

[oMeGaLoVeGB]

im seeing this video in my hp pavilion g6 :)

[VivaLaMin3crafT]

Will it be able to run Starcraft2?

[leafspie2020]

@VivaLaMin3crafT yeah most likely it would be able to

[elementsk8er4114]

im watching this on my new hp g6 :)

[TheAkmdad]

@elementsk8er4114 me too :)



[elementsk8er4114]

do this come with microsoft word and slide show

[leafspie2020]

@elementsk8er4114 no many computers come with a 60 day trial of Microsoft office which has word, PowerPoint and excel. u need to buy a new one or reinstall a Microsoft office cd if u already own one. and by slideshow if u mean movie maker then yes, it comes with movie maker.. it also doesnt come with a recovery disk, no computer comes with a recovery disc now, u need to pay an additional 60 or so bucks for the recovery disk. just a fyi

[Dylanboy10]

Cant wait to get this laptop

[rezjwanx]

Do you think that I could play games on this laptop like skyrim?

[leafspie2020]

@rezjwanx a game like skyrim would need to be on low settings i think

[rezjwanx]

@leafspie2020 Oh sorry, I wanted to get the Hewlett packard G6-1220SD will it still be hard to play skyrim on it?

[leafspie2020]

@rezjwanx there pretty much the same lap top spec wise, u might be able to pull off playing skyrim but on low settings:( give it a try though

[ShadowKaiserin]

@rezjwanx Yes, I have this laptop and it plays Skyrim beautifully.

[leafspie2020]

@ShadowKaiserin thanks for confirming man:)

[leafspie2020]

thanks for all the viewers helping each other out!! :)

[4tado]

getting this tomorrow :) thanks for the review

[leafspie2020]

@4tado ya no problem! enjoy the laptop:)

[Facemix]

hey buddy can you play Modern Warfare 3 - Call of Duty on this laptop?

[leafspie2020]

@Facemix the graphics card isnt good for games, this is a excellent laptop for everyday use like school or work, you can try playing mw3 on it but it will be pretty shitty i think.. :(

[rsmeuemo]

@Facemix I play on mine Battlefield 3 on medium settings and works great! I think it also runs MW3.:)

[drinzan]

@rsmeuemo hey man you have a g6? I have been wondering whether I'd be able to run bf3 on it...could you tell me...did you choose the optional graphics card, and if so, what were the full specs of your pc, it would be a great help to me :D (side note bf3? frame rate avg, and resolution/settings? which are you running on)

[rsmeuemo]

@drinzan My Laptop specs: Intel Core i3, 2.2 GHz, 4GB of RAM, Windows 7 64-bit, video card: AMD Radeon HD 6470M 1024 MB, 320 GB HDD. That's how I bought it, nothing optional. It runs Battlefield 3 on medium settings fast and nice.  And I'm a girl:D.

[rsmeuemo]

@rsmeuemo It also runs Need for Speed: The Run on high settings! Just installed it! It's great. I'm so happy with it<3

[FaizanA95]

@rsmeuemo I'm looking for a girl just like you!! :P

[OMOCY9]

@leafspie2020 do you know if it can run minecraft on max settings with like 60 fps?

here are my specs:ram 4GB,Proccesor intel cor i5 2.3 Ghz,Hard Drive 500GB,Video Card AMD radeon HD6470M 1GB
