Everything runs very smoothly and without (Micro) stuttering. It is not a gaming laptop but hopefully no one expected from a notebook with integrated GPU. Everything else is the HP g6 i5 very easily and very well done. Wireless reception is not open to criticism and as well as an integrated wireless card of the latest styles in the PC's that we have.
When initially powered on WIN8 initialized, to which there is no separate DVD but an independent recovery partition on the hard drive. What you do with it in case of problems, I'll try to find out when a problem occurs. To date, yet none has occurred.
Here we have two computers with WIN8 and the first thing that is done with it and was, Classic Shell is a very good free software that must be installed WIN8, optionally missed the look and feel of XP or Win7.
After that you can then as I had Win7, work very well with the computer and from time to time in the tile world look (if you want them).
Getting used to is only the touch pad, which is roughened with small "Hubbeln", and so gives an unfamiliar feeling work. Well, I think that the function keys are assigned already without Fn detour with the intended function. So you have to go the opposite way: Press Fn to activate eg F8..
Working speed is very neat and the built-in 4GB Ram is enough for almost everything except video and image editing with Adobe products. Since then, however can upgrade the memory as needed and if necessary. Change to SSD.
The g6 i5 I feel as a very successful budget notebook for use in and with family to "normal" sized work, play etc. without business or gaming ambitions. For both of these purposes, there is then much more expensive, more stable and perfomantere regarding graphics performance notebooks.
