I know everyone wants to ding Windows 8 -- yes Win8 is annoying.

But the laptop? Seriously fantastic hardware - no joke it's solid performance. Especially for the price with rebates. So here's how to enjoy the LAPTOP and semi-forget you're using Win8 as your OS.

1. Do a restore. That will clean slate it without the 3rd party apps.

2. Install "Skip Metro Suite" from WinAero. Just google it and install it. Bypass the Metro apps and remove all the hotspots with this app.

3. Install Classic Shell. Again google it, it's open source and hosted on Sourceforge. Install it and enjoy 'more like xp and 7' feel.

There ya go. No longer a need to return your amazing hardware due to being forced to use the most annoying OS Microsoft ever made...

Buying a computer with windows 8 installed, and designed for windows 8 was a huge mistake. It has been nothing but one headache after another to get it configured for my applications, get reconnect to my regular commercial e-mail account, had to find all new drivers for the office printers. I have wasted hours learning the new approach, and then getting rid of the pre-installed junk, such as ebay, music apps, etc. The new automatic start screen is a joke, and the "grab and pull" with the mouse pad doesn't work have the time. Microsoft has done everything to make it look like an apple product - and that is NOT why I bought a PC to run Office. If I had wanted an apple I would have bought an apple! I am very, very tempted to take this thing back!

    Comments about HP Pavilion g7-2240us 17.3" Laptop:

    I bought this laptop for my business. I was unfamiliar with windows 8 and saw that it got a lot of bad reviews but I have found it to be very easy to use. It has a desk top button that easily puts it back to the vies I am used to. This laptop is fast and easy to use. The keyboard is quiet but still feels like a normal keyboard. I love having the 10 key feature. I would defiantly recommend the computer to a friend. it is easy to use and easy to set up. It's perfect to use for a portable business too. The screen is very big and easy to see everything without hurting your eyes.

      I bought this to use for personal use. I use it mainly to look up on the web. I have not used the other features it has. It came with Windows 8 so I had to manage around learning a new program plus using the new laptop. So far I am pleased with the product and I hope to learn more in the future.

      I purchased this computer after doing extensive research. My research paid off because this computer has everything. I am extremely impressed with the speed. I am able to access firefox in approximately 30 sec after signing on which I feel is great. 3.45 to 4.00 hrs battery life. love Hewlett Packard products and was very satisfied with their performance!!! and Staples price for this computer was considerably lower than competitive stores. very happy with the price I paid for this computer. Paid extra for the ins. and damage and theft and wear and tear...
