Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Today’s tech tip is my answer to getting things done. When I started doing more work in design, it became apparent very clearly that my old desktop wasn’t up to the task. I upgraded it as much as I could. Besides, I wanted to get a laptop. And so I did. I purchased an HP G60.

Several factors led to my decision. First of all, I trust the HP name. I’ve used their printers and desktops. I’ve been pleased with the service and the longevity of the products. Price was also a factor. Certainly, the sky’s the limit on a laptop purchase. My price range was under $1,000.

I read several reviews on different laptops. HP was a frequent visitor in the various top 10 lists. My ideal laptop would have at least 2, preferably 3 gig RAM. I wanted an integrated wireless card. It had to be dual core Intel for good performance. I didn’t care about any packaged software, certainly not Microsoft Works. The kicker for purchasing the HP G60 was the 10-key pad. I use my desktop’s 10-key pad all the time. I didn’t want to not have it with my laptop purchase. It does make the laptop wider. The HP G60 is 14.88″ wide, something you need to bear in mind when purchasing a laptop bag for it.

Overall, I’m thrilled with it. I have the great-performing computer that I needed. I can work anywhere, anytime. It’s fast. I like the touch of the keyboard. I actually feel like I’m discovering new things about it frequently. Now if I could just make it so my cat wasn’t jealous of it on my lap at nights.
