Gateway ID49C07u

 

The Gateway ID49C07u is a slim, eye-catching 14-inch laptop with a pretty good price--just under $580 at the time of this review. The ID49C07u (a Best Buy exclusive model) has a 2.28GHz Intel Core i3 processor, 4GB of memory, a 500GB hard drive, a...

Good price ; Extremely thin and attractive

Touchpad is not very responsive ; Keyboard is a dust magnet

This laptop is very stylish, especially for the price, but it sacrifices performance for sexiness.

Review: Gateway ID49C07u

 

Dashing good looks and cutting-edge performance don't have to come at a steep price, and for scholars heading back to school this fall, there's only...

Solid performance for a great budget price. Modern styling. Well-positioned USB ports. Very portable, fairly lightweight and quite slim

Still not used to the mega-click touchpad after a week of testing. Keyboard has next to no travel. Needs a serious kick in the graphics pants

Gateway ID49C07u

 

The Gateway ID49C07u makes a strong fashion statement with its aluminum skin and glowing touchpad, all at a modest fee.

Trendy aluminum design. Glowing touchpad is a neat gimmick. Very inexpensive. Four USB ports. Fast Core i3 processor. Very good battery life.

Flexing keyboard. Noisy, springy touchpad.

Gateway ID49C07u review: Gateway ID49C07u

 

Gateway ID49C07u

Slim, eye-catching design; Core i3 processor; affordable price.

Awkward backlit touch pad is very uncomfortable to use; screen feels washed-out; flimsy keyboard.

As a thin, affordable Core i3 laptop, the Gateway ID49C07u excels as an attractively priced back-to-school buy; however, its ergonomics and thin feature set might turn others off.
