HP's G series offers "the essential, nothing superfluous". They aim to be both affordable and able to handle all round tasks. Worth a look for your first machine, simple and effective.

In spite of its entry level positioning, the HP G62 doesn't look bad at all. Its dedicated graphics card makes it an all rounder and worth a look for those on a small budget.
