I bought an HP G62 laptop in January and have been thrilled with its performance. Wireless works great, webcam, audio, ACPI, everything I feared might have problems was great out of the box with Kubuntu. No, I take it back, I had wireless problems whose origin I couldn't identify, and never solved, because I booted it up the next day and the problem was gone.

Right now, my only issue is that the touchpad button jams sometimes. But it was a cheap laptop, so I expected problems like that.
