Gateway MC7803u review: Gateway MC7803u

Gateway MC7803u

Low price; discrete graphics; attractive, minimalist design; 16:9 screen perfect for HD movies; backlit keyboard; handy light-touch media controls; recessed touch pad.

MC7803U

I'll say one thing about Gateway's MC7803u: It sure doesn't look like it costs only a thousand bucks. Honestly, I'm a little surprised by how the company managed to craft a slick-looking all-purpose laptop and still keep it on a tight budget. Of...

Gateway MC7803u

The Gateway MC7803u surprises us with its trendy, stylish design and low, $1,000 price.

Magnificent design. The backlit keyboard and touch-sensitive media buttons are superb features. Exterior is attractive. Gorgeous glass screen. Excellent price point.

Heaviest 16-inch laptop on the market. Limited screen resolution.

Gateway MC7803u

The MC7803u doesn't sport the highest resolution screen on the market today, but it does display a good-looking picture.
