The HP Pavilion g6 is, above all things, totally average. It’s definitely not a performance machine, or a sexy piece of art, but if you’re just looking for a decent laptop for Web surfing, word processing, and lightweight photo editing, it’s a pretty good deal. The only real drawback I see is battery life-HP says you’ll get 5.5 hours, but we managed to get only 4 usable hours out of the g6’s battery in our testing.
