Black Friday: HP G60 121WM Notebook for $448 at Walmart

Walmart will be selling the HP G60 121WM notebook as a Black Friday special for $448. A similar model normally costs $778 from Walmart, which means there’s a substantial $330 in savings if you can get your hands on one of these on Black Friday.

This Black Friday notebook is a retail-only HP computer with a model number built exclusively for Walmart. The G60 121WM model number won’t be found on HP’s Web site or at other retailers, but if you want to do some comparison shopping just compare all Pavilion G60 notebooks with similar specs. There may be minor variations between G60’s found at various retailers in terms of processor speed and hard drive size, but all G60’s will have the same set of features.

The G60-121WM comes with 3GB of memory, 160GB hard drive, DVD burner and an AMD Sempron 2.0GHz processor.

This notebook should serve its purpose for basic home use, but it’s definitely one of HP’s lower-end notebooks.

Unfortunately, the screens on all G60 series are prone to breaking. HP techs are quick to tell you HP does not warrant the screens even though they are aware of the widespread defect. It starts as a black spot on your screen but eventually stripes all the way across it. HP techs told me to pray for a recall because unless that happens, I can expect to replace my screen every 6 months. There are so many other options out there, I'm planning on going with another brand.

THE BATTERYS ARE PRETTY GENERIC THE COME WITH THIS COMPUTER
UPGRADE WITH A 2 HR MEMORY BATTERY
TRY DRAINING YOUR OLD ONE THEN RECHARGE IT

THERE IS A TRICK TO RECHARGING THE BATTERY , AND YOU CAN FIND OUT MORE ABOUT IT ON THE NET.
YOU CAN ACTUALLY PUT MORE MEMORY LIFE INTO THE ONE YOU HAVE FOR PENNYS

Dan

I bought it andthe battery life is terrible. Lasts like 30 minutes top. Computer works great, maybe just purchase another battery.

Travis W

Jesse

u obviously got a return or screwed up one cus i just bought one 2 weeks ago and freakin love it it hasnt screwed up on me at all and is fast and great

Ratchet

It's a garbage computer. I bought it on Black friday sale. DO NOT GET THIS! It's a single core and gets hung up on applications easily. The cursor gets frozen and the computer has to be put to sleep and reawoken to get it to work again. It plays videos choppy, and the audio is out of synch with the video. Thank god I'm returning it within the 15 day window.
I rather pay another $100 and get a better laptop at Best Buy. I will get a Dell , and never again an HP

Roberto

I have also gone thru the asle to get one from Walmart on Black Friday; i have also gotten the one from Best Buy (Toshiba L305D-S5892) and am undecided wich to keep; i haven't openned either or. If anyone is interested in this one i will sell it for $600 Email me if interested: robavila76@hotmail.com

Jenn

I bought it and the specs in the add say it has a webcam and it doesn't has anyone else that bought it realized this yet??

darrell

How can you put XP on a Vista machine Im pretty sure the drivers will not match up and none of your built in devices on mainboard will work.....maybe someone knows somehting I dont! I have tried to do this with an HP and it did not work I had horrible graphics and couldnt even get the touchpad to work! On HPs website it did not even give me the options for xp drivers to download either

Alex

I have this laptop brand new sealed let me know if you are interested in buying it I live in atlanta
gordee33@hotmail.com

Anderoo

David, the Intel Dual Core T3200 will blow this processor out of the water, but all in all it's not a bad basic CPU. I'm still looking for more feedback before I open it and mess around with it. People who do that just to see if they'll like it are jackarses.

Alex

I went to walmart and I got it!! If somebody miss the sell you can get it from me for $677 if you interesting send me an email to info@anvadvertisement.com
Thank You

Dante

runs wow just fine! I good deal and worth the lines! only had 30 of them at our little store.

Adrienne

I just bought it too! I really like it. Vista is much better than I expected. It was totally worth the hellish crowds.

Cameron

Just bought it, very sharp. Basic laptop. Runs good with vista. Hope it last!

Sam

Does it include a built-in web-cam??

David

How does the AMD Sempron processor compare to the Intel Dual Core T3200 processor? Would this laptop be sufficient for movies, games, etc.?

Dante

could you play wow on this?

or

could you upgrade the graphics so you could?

thanks

Brittany

Xavier- im looking for a new one because its an '05 model, keeps a charge for 10 min, and the touch pad is going out (2nd time replaced)

Ryan

In case anyone is actually considering buying this laptop, its got a Sempron processor in it, which basically means its a piece of junk.

I know you may think "Well its all I can afford, and its a good deal" but its not.

Save your money, dish out the extra $100 for the other laptop Walmart has for sale (which is substantially better) and is definitely worth an extra 100 if you're going to spend 450 anyway.

My personal opinion is you may just want to reconsider getting a laptop on Black Friday and utilize E-bay and Microsofts 25% cashback on search.live.com, or save your money and buy a Core 2 Duo / Centrino 2 Laptop.

Xavier

Brittany- It completely depends on the specifications of your dv6000, but the dv6000 is a relatively recent notebook and I wouldn't suggest trading it in quite yet unless there's something you're really not happy with.

Brittany

I have an hp dv6000 entertainment laptop right now and am looking for a new hp. Would you recommend this computer, or would buying this be like 'downgrading' from what i already have?

Xavier

Mahmoud- you can always install Linux or XP at your own convenience if you have the skills to do that, but the G60 121Wm comes as it is-no customization available.

Mahmoud

How much extra is it to get it with a stable OS instead of Vista? I'd like to get full use of the RAM instead of sacrificing most of it to Vista while the applications I bought the laptop for run like a smokers marathon.

Matthew

Does anyone have experience trying to get something like this from Walmart? Any guesses as to whether they will actually have this in stock? Is this one of those deals you have to get in line early to get or can I just drop by sometime on Friday and pick it up?

Tim

Guys, I would the walmart.com info:

randy

junie

I'm only able to watch 30mins of a 90 to 120min movie. The battery capacity is terrible. I'm considering returning it.

Xavier

Barb- either the HP g60-121WM or the Black Friday Toshiba notebook will be fine for basic photo uploading/editing.

Barb

I need a laptop to upload tons of kids pictures and do scrapbooking stuff. The Toshiba is also a good price -- would either of these work well for me?

Jacob

haha thank u josh this helps me alot.

Josh

Jacob- i was wondering the exact same thing. i looked it up and im 90% sure it will. I dont understand graphics cards very well but im sure this will be fine. if my brothers crappy laptop can play it, this can.

Xavier

Travis- thanks for the correctiion- had the wrong AMD processor in the table. It's accurate now.

Travis Longley

These specs listed here are for the Toshiba satellite L305-D-S5897 for $548, not for the Hp.

paige

Would i have to buy a new charger for it every other 2 months?

Shawn

I would like to buy a laptop that i can use Autodesk Inventor on! It is an architect program! Im not sure if the graphics card will handle it!

Jacob

Is this a good laptop to play WoW on? good gameing laptop at all?
(world of warcraft)

James

I'm looking at this laptop to play World of Warcraft. Can it handle it and run it sufficiently?

Clay

Is the processor capable of downloading video and allow movies to be made and burnt to DVD's?

Feline

You can. I personally bought this computer from walmart on black friday and i have made a couple of home movies to share with my family

Linda

Thanks Xavier! Usually save photos to CD after downloading to computer so this should work.

Xavier

Linda- this notebook will do just fine for that. Just be sure to get yourself a backup drive if you're going to wipe your memory cards after transferring them to your computer.

Linda

Looking for an inexpensive laptop that will allow internet access via wireless router while traveling in our RV. Don't need lots of bells and whistles just internet access, picture download from camera, that sort of thing. Will this unit do the job?

Adri

This notebook comes with 802.11b/g wireless LAN a wireless LAN is an Internet connection that can be accessed by radio waves instead of through traditional wires and cords. Also known as Wi-Fi or 802.11 connection, they are becoming more widespread.

justin ruggles

Is this laptop capable of running beginner art apps

stephane

Does this laptop have a wirefire or wireless fire built in.

Tim

Yes, it can burn CD/DVDs

Leslie

Wanted to get this for child who wants a DVD burner. I know nothing about laptops but wanted to go to WALMART to get this. Does this have a DVD burner??

Warren

I appreciate the info. I'm in search of a laptop that would work well when using Lightroom and PShop. This looks like it won't fit the bill.

thanks.
