Gateway NV55S05u

The Gateway NV55S05u, running a quad-core 1.5GHz A8-3500 APU, can tackle almost any task thrown at it, lasted almost 5 hours in our battery tests, and is priced to move.

Low price. AMD Llano APUs surprised in graphics power and battery life. Solid keyboard. Full-size numeric keypad. Big 640GB hard drive.

Trails Intel CPUs in hardcore tasks like video and photo editing. Lacks advanced features like USB 3.0, eSATA, and latest wireless technologies.

Gateway NV55S0 review: Gateway NV55S0

The Gateway NV55S05u is a budget laptop with more-than-average hard-drive space and RAM, and the included AMD A8 APU has better graphics than you get on similarly priced laptops.

The NV55S05u has no-frills features and a generic design, and with the AMD A8 it performed everyday tasks more slowly than equivalently priced Intel Core i3 laptops. The battery life was underwhelming, too.

You could do a lot worse than the Gateway NV55S05u for a solid RAM-hard drive combination and an all-around decent processor in a 15-inch laptop, provided you can live with poor battery life.
