Gateway NV5933u review

A Core i3 processor, Blu-ray drive, and 320GB hard drive for $629.99 -- does the Gateway NV5933u really need more of an introduction than that? We didn't

Really affordable ; Great performance for the price ; Onboard Blu-ray player

Poor viewing angles ; Preloaded with too much software ; Disappointing battery life

Gateway NV5933u

If you're looking for a portable multimedia machine, the Gateway NV5933u--which features an Intel Core i3 processor and a Blu-ray Disc player--might be for you. This 15.6-inch all-purpose laptop multitasks with ease, and it even has a number pad next...

Has Blu-ray Disc player ; Good at multitasking

Touchpad is unresponsive and hard to use ; Poor game performance--no discrete graphics

The Gateway NV5933u makes a great portable Blu-ray Disc player--complete with a computer.

Gateway NV5933u review: Gateway NV5933u

Gateway NV5933u

Great performance for the price; Blu-ray drive; HDMI-out port.

Awkward touch pad buttons; no Bluetooth; screen resolution isn't full HD; disappointing battery life.

Budget computer shoppers, take note: if you're looking for an affordable way to get Blu-ray on a laptop, the Core i3-powered Gateway NV5933u is one of the best values around.

Review: Gateway NV5933u

Think cheap means slow? Not in the case of Gateway's NV5933u notebook.

Unmatched price-for-performance ratio. Extra-large trackpad surface. Numeric keypad. Thoughtfully located USB ports (and four of ‘em). Blu-ray — it’s still the way of the future

Superflat keyboard is hell for touch-typing. Ultra-narrow, single-piece mouse button doesn’t always register clicks. Crappy graphics. A tad on the chunky-monkey side

Gateway NV5933u Review

OK, so we're finally ready to admit that Blu-ray looks like it's here to stay for a while. That doesn't necessarily mean that many people are ready to make a ...
