A high quality laptop from Hewlett Packard
Review with images
09/03/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Lightweight and extremely easy to use
Disadvantages None for me

Before I begin my review I have to admit that I am not the most technical minded of people, but as I have a husband who is an expert with anything that is electrical I have learned quite a lot over the years and am still learning. Prior to meeting him I had no option than to rely on other people, which isn’t like me at all, particularly as I prefer to do things myself. We now live in a society where we seem to use computers for almost everything although I’ve yet to find one that will clean the oven or carry out the ironing! If you said to me five years ago that I would be shopping or banking ... more

I'M Happy With HP 10/05/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages windows 7, great for everyday computing
Disadvantages poor webcam and speakers

When it came to buying a laptop I spent quite a long time looking around and comparing specs. I was looking for a laptop for general everyday use which would surf the web, run office applications and hold a decent amount of songs and photos in the hard drive. It also needed to be wireless to connect to the BT home hub from different parts of the house. The laptop which I chose was the HP G56 106 which cost £349 from John Lewis in December 2010; I chose to shop there because they offer a two year guarantee as standard on laptops as opposed to having to buy the second years warranty from other ... more

Fantastic Laptop By HP! 18/09/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages sleek, stylish, modern, fast, efficient
Disadvantages No memory card slot!

P G56-106SA Introduction # Basically at the start of the year (2011) i broke my laptop after having it for two years, the screen smashed and i needed a new one quick for my work. I looked around on websites for one which had quite a nice amount of memory and looked stylish, just a couple of things which i look for in a laptop. I found this laptop which i really liked the look of and had a good memory so that was it, i went out to buy it. I bought this laptop from PCWorld because from what i could see, it was the cheapest place to get it, and i know that you can get a good customer service from ... more

A little Piece of My Heart- HP G56. 19/04/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Look, memory and speed.
Disadvantages None really.

Now, the main things I look for when buying a new computer is: 1: price and 2: memory. This laptop really was the best of both costing £399 in PC world with a hard drive of 500GB. This is more than enough space for my music and school work. I have only recently bought this computer, last week infact and it really is worth every penny I paid. HP have always been a reliable source for printer, but I have never considered them a good laptop brand, that is before I bought one. *-*-*General info about the laptop-*-*-* The laptop is black with lsome light up buttons to help with the function of the ... more

Excellent product, quality manufacturer and an excellent price! 21/07/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages 250GB Hard drive, 3GB Processor, Quick, Durable, Easy To Use.
Disadvantages None

The HP G56 is a fantastic looking laptop with excellent features. The speed is very fast, it looks great and is excellent value for money. The laptop, at £299 is a great buy considering how easy it is to use and how well it functions. First of all the speed of the laptop is very good. The laptop boots in around 2 minutes and is ready to function straight away. The laptop comes fitted with Windows 7 which is easy to operate, functions quickly and doesn't give you any problems. The laptop can easily run numerous applications such as the internet, games and word processing documents all the same ... more

I'm using for a Hp G56 laptop. it's a great laptop. The keyboard feels lovely. The webcam is great. The sims 3 runs great on it load really quickly.

The screen is big and it is relatively light for carrying It has wireless to connect to the BT home hub from different parts of the house. The laptop which I chose was the HP G56 there because they offer a two year guarantee as standard on laptops as opposed to having to buy the second years warranty from other stores.There is ... more

superb laptop - very powerful graphics 17/05/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages superb memory capacity, exceedingly powerful processor
Disadvantages the laptop camera could be better

this laptop is an incredibly powerful laptop at a very reasonable price. nothing about this laptop lets it down really. it is an almost flawless setup, with many strong points about the hardware, and very little in the way of negatives. the graphics card sharing memory is a good idea - and means it can run even the most complex of games with relative ease, however this could cause problems if you are playing for extensive periods of time (like six hours at a time) the only downfall with this machine is the camera could be a higher definition, however the bundled software seems to overcome the ... more

Nice Speed 05/12/2011

User recommends the product

Advantages Nice Speed
Disadvantages Poor Speaker

The first time I saw this laptop, I think it looks normal, nothing too exciting from its shape. It seems just the same as other laptops. But unlike when I try to use it. This laptop is really easy to use. After several minutes of trying, I began to fall in love with this laptop. With 13-inch screen, very comfortable to use. not too small and not too wide. then I think that this laptop is very good. With the processor and 3GB 250GB Hard Disk Drive makes this laptop has a very high speed. Prices are affordable. But the speaker is not good. But no problem, I can use headphones. I really want it ... more
