The HP Pavilion g7-1375ea is a 17.3-inch laptop that comes with the WIndows 7 Home Premium operating system. It is powered by a dual-core Intel Pentium B960 processor, has a 4GB memory and a 750GB capacity hard drive. Other extras include HDMI output t...
  • Despite its size, the HP Pavilion g7-1375ea doesn’t feel as heavy as it should. It weighs 3KG, which isn’t exactly featherweight, but the weight just feels evenly distributed across this large laptop.Its dual-core processor and 4GB RAM also makes light work of most tasks. It’s quick to boot up and is capable of effortlessly jumping from task to task. And unlike some laptops, the HP Pavilion g7-13...
  • Unfortunately the HP Pavilion g7-1375ea suffers from the same problem that affects most laptops. Sound is not the best, and can be tinny at the best of times. The best bet here is to invest in a decent pair of earphones or speakers. The touchpad could also be better. It clearly works, but two finger scrolling feels unreliable. You’re better using a mouse here.
  • The HP Pavilion g7-1375ea is a great little (make that, big) laptop that offers pretty much everything one would need from a portable computer. Its performance is good, even playing games. Picture quality is spot on. Just be sure to invest in a pair of...

After evaluating two of the less expensive models with AMD's Trinity APU ( g7-2053sg with A6-4400M and g7-2051sg with A10-4600M) in the last few weeks, we decided to take a look at the most powerful member of the series - the g7-2007sg . This model retail...

For example, it has a quad core processor from AMD. The A6-3420M only clocks with 1.5 GHz, but it has an integrated graphics chip ( Radeon HD 6520G ). To increase the performance even more, HP treats the multimedia machine to a second graphics card. The R...
