desktop replacement (and not to be moved around)

Nov 24, 2006

Rating: 5 out of 10 (Average)
Pros: powerful
Cons: too many
Opinion:
bought this second hand, so the previous owner's treatment might affect things.

this is the fastest laptop I've ever own, but also the heaviest. definitely desktop replacement. fast and powerful, but the list of downsides is longer. its so hot, you would never want to put it on your lap. its so noisy, so prepare to get comment from people around you.

Mine just recently broke its power-slot (YES!), after few weeks of using it on the bed. so keep it sitting on a table.

shortly before this the monitor also failed (not completely, but to the point 1 color is dominant than the others).

the other thing is that it seems I just cannot connect my iPod to its USB ports. (it always ask for reformatting my iPod, while it works fine in my Toshiba laptop).
can be helped only by using USB2.0 adapter (PCMCIA)

Problems Problems

Pros: 6
Cons: 9
Opinion:
I have been impressed on the whole with is performance but as the machine gets older, problems with overheating seems to become more and more of a problem. Battery lasts little more that an hour and now my computer shuts down 9 or 10 times a day. Overheating probabaly.........anyone know how to fix this problem?

 


Noisy but effective

Pros: 
Cons: 
Opinion:
Computer is very loud. Computer overheats with high-powered applications. Not really a laptop - more of a desktop than anything else. Battery life is no good. Computer is okay for its price i guess.

 


Great performance for the price

Rating: 9 out of 10 (Spectacular)
Pros: 
Cons: 
Opinion:
I have had a G732 for two years. It has heat issues and it is very noisy. However, I paid less than half of what an equivalent notbook would cost from HP or Dell. The craftmanship on the frame is somewhat shoddy, and I have sent it in twice for repairs. Though it is out of warranty, the repair service is quick and relatively inexpensive.
