This lap top is reliable and it is fast, a lot of memory who can complain about that. It is very easy to use as well. And the Price was best for its kind and I did research

Keyboard needs getting used to. The fan i see I'm not the only one now. The size of the lap top if you need portability

Gigs, Ram, and Processor speed all make this a great laptop for the price

Keyboard is finicky even after 6 months of breaking it in. Fingerprints are a little annoying but not enough to warrant another purchase, the mouse buttons are hard to click and very ineffectual

Gateway MD7818u Review

By Kevin O'Brien (NotebookReview.com)

The Gateway MD7818u is part of a new affordable notebook line that shares most of its components with the high-style MC series. This notebook offers many of the same features as its more expensive brother; like the touch-sensitive hidden multimedia...

Great build quality ; Great styling with impeccable fit and finish ; Good battery life from the battery supplied in our review unit ; Excellent cooling system

Limited screen tilt angle from hinge design ; Tips the scales compared to other 15” notebooks

This notebook offers two headphone jacks that allow you to share a movie or some music with another person. The audio output from the jacks is great, and peak volume levels were above my comfortable listening levels

To lower the cost Gateway removed some features that not everyone needed, like the leather palmrest, all-glass display, and backlit keyboard. Does this new notebook still impress us as much as the MC7803u? Read our review to find out

Gateway MD7818u

By (cnet.com)

Handsome design ; good component mix ; big hard drive ; good battery life

Fingerprint-prone ; weak speakers ; lacks standard ports such as FireWire, eSATA ; no Bluetooth

Gateway's affordable multimedia laptop, the MD7818u, has some high-end design touches, but is a little too big for travel.
