Overview

The HP G62-339WM (model XH058UAR#ABA) is a refurbished 15.6-inch notebook built on AMD's 2010-era mobile platform. The AMD Athlon II P320 is a 45nm dual-core processor running at 2.10GHz on a single memory channel — an architecture that was competitive for entry-level computing at the time of manufacture but represents a significant performance gap against any current-generation mobile processor. The 3GB DDR3 configuration is an unusual non-paired capacity that slightly constrains memory bandwidth compared to a matched dual-channel 4GB setup. Storage is a 320GB 5400RPM spinning hard drive, which will be the primary felt bottleneck for OS responsiveness and application launch times. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 brings UVD 2 hardware video decoding, which meaningfully offloads H.264 playback from the CPU and makes 720p and 1080p video consumption practical on this hardware.

The G62-339WM occupies a specific and narrow role: affordable, functional computing for tasks that do not demand modern processing performance. Web browsing, word processing, spreadsheets, media playback, and light multitasking are within its operational envelope. The 15.6-inch 1366x768 LED display, integrated webcam, full-size keyboard, optical drive, and five-port connectivity profile make it a self-contained platform that requires no additional peripherals for basic use. The critical caveats are the Windows 7 operating system — end-of-life since 2020 and a security liability on any internet-connected network — and the unknown battery condition inherent to any refurbished unit of this age. Buyers should treat this as a budget platform for offline or isolated-network use, or budget for a Windows 10 migration and potential SSD upgrade to extend its usable service life.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • 15.6-inch 1366x768 LED display provides a full-size viewing experience at a form factor and weight appropriate for mobile use
  • 5-in-1 digital media reader, integrated webcam, and three USB 2.0 ports cover the peripheral connectivity requirements of basic computing without additional hardware
  • ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4250 with UVD 2 hardware decode reduces CPU load during video playback — a meaningful capability given the 2.10GHz processor ceiling
  • Refurbished pricing provides access to a functional 15.6-inch laptop platform at significantly lower cost than comparable new hardware
  • LightScribe SuperMulti DVD+/-R/RW drive handles optical media read/write tasks that many modern thin-and-lights have eliminated

👎 Cons

  • AMD Athlon II P320 at 2.10GHz is a single-channel dual-core processor from 2010 — its per-core performance is outpaced by low-power mobile processors from subsequent generations by a substantial margin
  • 3GB DDR3 is a non-standard capacity that limits OS memory management efficiency; 4GB is the practical minimum for smooth Windows operation under moderate multitasking
  • Windows 7 Home Premium has been end-of-life since January 2020 with no ongoing security patches — internet-connected use on this OS introduces unmitigated vulnerability exposure
  • 5400RPM spinning hard drive is the primary performance bottleneck for OS boot times and application load — a replacement SSD requires manual hardware installation
  • Battery condition on a refurbished unit of this vintage is unpredictable and replacement OEM cells are no longer manufactured by HP

Frequently Asked Questions

The HP G62-339WM XH058UAR#ABA is factory refurbished, indicated by the "R" suffix in the model number. This means the unit has been returned, inspected, repaired to HP's specifications, and repackaged. Cosmetic wear may be present. Performance should meet original factory specifications, but the unit is not new and does not carry a full retail warranty.
The G62-339WM shipped with 3GB DDR3 in a 2-slot configuration (typically 2GB + 1GB). Maximum supported RAM is 8GB across two slots using compatible DDR3 SODIMMs. Upgrading to 4GB or 8GB will improve multitasking performance meaningfully given the 2.10GHz dual-core processor ceiling.
Yes. The HD 4250 supports UVD 2 (Unified Video Decoder), which handles hardware-accelerated H.264 and VC-1 decoding — the codecs used by Blu-ray and most streaming video of that era. This reduces CPU load during 720p and 1080p video playback, which is relevant given the processor's moderate clock speed.
Windows 7 reached end-of-life in January 2020 and no longer receives security updates from Microsoft. For internet-connected use, this represents a meaningful security risk. The G62-339WM can run Windows 10 with appropriate drivers, though official HP support for Win10 on this hardware model is not guaranteed and some driver workarounds may be required.
Battery performance on a refurbished unit of this vintage is highly variable. The original 6-cell battery specification yielded approximately 3–4 hours under light use when new. A refurbished unit's battery may have degraded significantly. Replacement batteries are available from third-party suppliers but HP OEM batteries for this model are no longer in production.
