You can make the base unit flex if you use both hands, but only very slightly. The compact-looking case is robust and has a high-quality appearance thanks to its clean workmanship. The surface stands up well against fingerprints and greasy smears, which only appear on the glossy screen bezel. It is non-slip and yet still feels smooth. The plastic surface has a pattern of prisms all over it, and comes in a colour which HP call ‘biscotti’. The surface of the top of the base unit has a pleasant feel to it. The 2.55 kg case is suitable for mobile use thanks to its durable surfaces and its sensible appearance means it will fit in anywhere from a home office to student digs. However, the eye has been deceived by the black base plate, as the case does in fact taper a little towards the front. Where other base units try for a modern slim-line effect by tapering towards the front, HP seems to have decided on a simple symmetrical profile. But the case is not made of a single sheet of aluminium in fact it is made up of several homogenous-looking pieces. HP has gone for a unibody look, similar to that of the MacBook. The G62-130EG’s case is refreshingly different.
