Multimedia and gaming on a budget
Oflate, we have seen an uninhibited growth in the number of mid-range multimedia laptops that are capitalizing on the demand for budget laptops in the market. The HP Pavilion g6 pits itself against the level headed rivals MSI FX600, Acer Aspire 5740 and the popular Dell Inspiron 15R series with Intel Core i5 processor configuration within the Rs. 45,000 price range.
The Pavilion g6 comes with a glossy charcoal-grey finish on the lid, with a predominant HP logo etched on it. The glossy black finish on the keypad and the body contours surrounding it, adds a nice contrast with the charcoal grey finish on the areas engulfing the palm rest and the contour of the keypad. The lack of dedicated numpad keys is a major flaw.
The Pavilion g6 ships with some intresting apps like with Magic Desktop software, which will allow you to work on another virtual desktop, where you can lock access to your files and settings by assigning a master password. The HP Pavilion g6 is a strong performer in the sub Rs. 45,000 price category. A decent gaming performance across Doom 3 and Far Cry 2 benchmarks and coupled with the feature-rich configuration, it makes a strong statement. The g6 is aimed at the casual gamer, laptop under Rs. 45,000 – but it’s unsuitable for high-end gamers.
