I had been looking to get a new laptop for the past few months and finally I found one, the HP G62 234DX. It is a mid-range laptop that I got for $499 at Best Buy. The story of how I got it is worth telling. So a few months back I found this laptop advertised online, but it was out of stock. I figured I would wait a few days until it got back in stock. The next thing I know, the model is removed from the website and there is no trace of it. I search for information in it online, but there is very little out there. So I decide to hold off on getting a laptop because there are no other models that I wanted.
Then about a week ago, I check Best Buy online and the computer is back for the price of $499. This is a great deal for the specs that it comes with. I notice that it is not available to purchase online, but you can reserve it in stores. Then I see that it is sold out in most of the local stores. I manage to find availability at one of the stores not too far away so I add it to the cart and buy it. It was ready for pick up the next morning.
A day after I go to check it out online again at the Best Buy website, and to my surprise, the price had jumped $200 to $699! I am so glad I was able to get it at the $499 price. So far I have been pretty happy with the laptop. You can check out my full detailed review of the laptop here: http://hubpages.com/hub/HP-G62-234DX-Laptop-Review
Update 4-8-15: It has been almost 5 years and I still use the HP G62 laptop daily. I spend a lot of time working on the computer and it has held up well over the years. Haven't had to many issues. There have been a few hiccups along the way but nothing that could not be fixed relatively easy. Overall I am satisfied with this laptop and would probably buy another HP again.
