Product Description
The HP NW144UA G60-440US 16-Inch Notebook PC has a 16-inch widescreen. It's a little larger than a 15.4-Inch screen but, when it comes to viewing video or playi9ng games, alot more fun. Smaller than 17-inch means greater mobility - a little lighter to hold and carry. It's a notebook PC for those seeking the best of both worlds. Pared down to the essentials, the new G60 series is defined by minimalist lines. High-gloss reflective top cover and palm rest area surfaces contrast cleanly with matte everywhere else. HP Imprint finish in piano black on the top cover with silver across the palm rest and touchpad provides greater durability than traditional painted surfaces. The streamlined look is enhanced with a color-matched keyboard and touchpad. The HP G60 series delivers easy-to-use entertainment. Enjoy full-screen DVD playback on the crystal-clear 16:9. 16.0-Inch diagonal HP BrightView display. Burn audio CDs and DVDs to share your favorite songs and video clips with friends and family. Create custom laser-etched disc labels right in the drive with LightScribe and preinstalled Cyberlink DVD Suite. Just burn data on the disc, flip it over and burn the cover image using any scanned image and/or text. Built-in Altec Lansing speakers bring your entertainment to life. And the 5:1 digital media reader enables photo transfer in seconds. It's time to play! 16 diagonal (1366 x 768) High Definition BrightView Display Built-in Webcam and Microphone Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M with up to 1309 MB Shared Graphics Memory LightScribe SuperMulti 8x DVD+-R/RW Drive with Double Layer 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN 10/100 Base-T Ethernet LAN 5-in-1 Bridge Media Adapter - MMC, SD, MS, MS Pro, xD Connections - 3 x USB 2.0, Headphone out; Microphone-in, VGA, HDMI, RJ-11 (Modem), RJ-45 Approximate Unit Dimensions - 14.88 (L) x 9.9 (D) x 1.72 (H) Approximate Unit Weight - 6.57 Pounds

 Poor Quality Computer August 11, 2010
Christine Dickson (Mount Laurel, NJ, US)
After doing some research, I purchased this computer based on techs and price. My last laptop was a Dell. I thought I had made a good decision only to have a key pop off within 2 months. To get this fixed, I would have to send the computer back to HP and it was not worth the inconvenience of not having my computer to have it repaired. My computer is now over a year old and out of warranty. I just found out that my battery failed and will cost $122 to replace. The battery has a very short life as it is not an Li-ion battery. Overall, I wish I had spent a few more $$ to get a higher quality product.
Customer Service Nightmare December 15, 2009

I've had my HP G60-440US laptop for four months now. During those four months, the laptop's been out of order (non-functioning) three different times for an aggregate period of about five weeks. During the first month, the hard drive crashed, and I couldn't turn the computer on. Then the little chippie-thing that allows the computer to connect to my wireless modem broke down. Most recently, the dvd player died while, at the same time, the new wireless card went kaputt. Consequently, I've had to send my laptop away to the service department twice, and have had to reinstall some chip or other part so that the computer could pick up a wireless signal. The computer has been a complete lemon. My friends warned me about purchasing an HP product, and I didn't listen.
One of the worst parts about my HP experience has been the attitude of the customer service people. The technical guys in India were nice enough, but they kept me on the line for more than an hour before they agreed that I wasn't lying about my hard drive having crashed. My experience with the managers in the U.S. was much worse. My conversation with customer service - notwithstanding all the scripted "I'm sorry to hear that, sirs" left me feeling absolutely powerless and with the feeling that, now that HP had my $500, they cared not a bit about my needs or satisfaction.
So, be warned - this is not a good product. I wish I had listened to my friends and spent a little more cash for a better product instead of this toy laptop.
Roxio Creator Insert December 10, 2009

I just bought my Notebook this past October 2009. I like the note book and think it is great for what I need it for.
HOWEVER!!!! In my package along with many other inserts came an insert for LightScribe (Disc Labeling) On this Insert indorsed by HP it says unbder bullet point
"*Burn a custom, silkscreen-quality monochrome label directly onto the face of the disc using the Roxio Creator software alreadyinstalled on all LightScribed-enabled HP PC's."
I have spent HOURS with HP's outsourced customer service representatives and also with Case Managers. This inser is very clear that the Roxio creator software was installed onto all LightScribed-enabled HP PC's. I have gone back to Staples and checked ALL of thier instore PC's and they do not have the Roxio Program as well.
talking and with the HP Representatives they have basically said they do not use this software anymore and have not for several years. Well, NOT ACCORDING TO THIS INSERT! When talking to HP they basically said have you read the specs. I let her know that I did but this was basically false advertising and she stated "If that is what you want to call it."
WOW, this could have been solved very easily a LONG time ago but since the OVERWHELMINGLY HORRIBLE SERVICE I am going to see this one out.
Thanks I hope this helps you and contact me with information if you have the same issues.

 Awesome for Linux October 18, 2009

I agree with the comments about HP support. They are overseas, know little about the product, and are idiots.
I repartitioned the drive (after shrinking the Windows partition with instructions from ubuntuguide dot org) and installed Kubuntu 9.04 Linux within 1 hour. Everything worked right away -- from webcam, to wireless, to video, to VMWare. This is one of the best laptops for Linux. I consider myself proficient at computers, so I also installed a few other OSs (on multiple partitions). No problems. I love this laptop. It is fast, and the widescreen great for movies. After 2 months I have discovered no problems (other than that Windows Vista sucks, but we all knew that, and the need to remove all the junkware that HP pre-installs.) But don't use the recovery disk(s) -- it wipes the entire hard drive clean and wipes out all your data. I learned this the hard way. HP sucks at software (and support), even though the hardware is great.
 Good for Games and surfing the internet October 13, 2009
G. Rodriguez (Bakersfield,California)
I bought this laptop for my grandson and he uses it mainley to play games and to look up information on the web. Hes always using it, so I gather that hes happy with it and it works well. I have not heard any complaints from him yet ,regarding any problems.
