Welcome to a Laptop Battery specialist

I don’t know about you but when I see a laptop that’s under 500 Euro I get pretty skeptical about the products real quality. From past experiences laptops that are that cheap come with some pretty big caveats. The cheaper laptops usually have all-plastic designs, poor battery life, slow performance, and a small low-end display.
Today I came across the HP Pavilion g7-1002sg a 17.3-inch laptop that offers some attractive, on paper, specifications for 499 Euro. The laptops main specifications were like so:
◦17.3 inch 16:9, 1600×900 pixels
◦1.8 GHz AMD Phenom II X4 P960 quad-core processor
◦AMD Radeon HD 6470M 1GB graphics card
◦4 GB DDR3 RAM 1333 MHz
◦750GB HDD 5400 RPM
◦6-cell Lithium-ion
◦2.796 kg weight; 31 x 412 x 268 mm (height x width x depth)
The HP Pavilion g7-1002sg is a new laptop for 2011 and it’s a part of HP’s new redesigned family of consumer notebooks.
Now all those product photos and those main specifications, and let’s not forget the 499 Euro base price, is all pretty enticing but how good is this laptop really? For that we need to look at the findings of a laptop review by Notebookcheck.net. The HP Pavilion g7-1002sg described and photographed above is the model reviewed very recently at the notebook review website. To quickly sum-up their findings the HP Pavilion g7-1002sg is rated as a 74/100 machine which is only average.
To go deeper we need to look for results from a few tests; the first would be the build quality, second comes performance, third comes display quality.
In build quality Notebook Check described the HP Pavilion g7-1002sg as being all plastic but without any major flaws in construction. The laptops expansion bay that’s on the bottom is easy to get access to for RAM or hard drive upgrades, all you’ll need to do is remove two screws. The plastic keyboard and multi-touch touchpad on this laptop are rated as just average.
Performance on the 499 Euro 17.3-inch laptop isn’t what you would expect from a quad-core laptop. The 1.8 GHz AMD Phenom II X4 P960 processor is not the best that AMD has to offer, in tests the quad-core processor did worse than the new quad-core AMD Fusion APUs and worse than even the low-end Intel Core i3-2310M dual-core processor. The HP Pavilion g7-1002sg is misleading machine when it comes to performance but to be realistic for 499 Euros the laptop isn’t too bad. The dedicated AMD Radeon HD 6470M GPU did alright but it’s not enough for HD gaming for any current PC titles.
As for battery life this laptop didn’t do well at all. In Notebook Check’s tests the Pavilion g7-1002sg lasted more tan three hours only when the laptop was left to idle (no WI-Fi and screen brightness low) but under normal usage the 6-cell battery such as Hp F2299A battery, Hp F3172A battery, Hp Pavilion ZT1000 battery, Hp Pavilion XZ200 battery, Hp Pavilion ZT1100 battery, Hp Omnibook XT1000 battery, Hp Omnibook XT1500 battery, Hp F2019 battery, Hp F2019A battery, Hp F2019B battery that comes with this affordable laptop can last 2 hours and 12 minutes.
The 17.3-inch LED back-lit display on this HP Pavilion is HD+ with 1600-by-900 pixels being the precise resolution. In test the display isn’t too bad with color reproduction, the glossy displays isn’t good for viewing in direct light, and finally the viewings angles for this laptop aren’t optimum if you’re not looking dead-on into the screen. Notebook Check notes that the display performance of this laptop is typical of low-end TN panel LCDs, low-end TN panels are commonplace in low-cost laptops.
