Nice Laptop

 

I am giving this product three stars because although I ordered a new laptop, I am pretty sure what I received was a refurb unit. The foil seal on the box was broken, the bezel for the screen was loose and out of place (I had to forcibly move it and...

I am happy with this laptop, and especially happy about the large size of the screen. It runs fast, quiet and cool

Somewhat narrow viewing angle, and so-so battery life (which can be expected from the massive size of the screen.) It took about 20 minutes to uninstall all of the Gateway factory bloatware

Solid with the right price

 

Great laptop for home, nice big screen. Not ideal for a student as it is large and a bit on the heavy side for lugging around a campus.

Good price, good design, nice to have a choice with a bit of color as opposed to black and grey. Very fast boot up. Windows 7

pad is sensitive and when typing seems to get bumped easily, we ordered a wireless mouse and it works well

Better than others

 

I'm about to head off to college, so we'll see how this does there, but as of now, I think it's perfect.

Fast startup, not a lot of preinstalled bloatware, comes with a free trial of Norton Antivirus, big screen, reasonably sized keys, number pad, volume keys above number pad, can turn off screen brightness without putting laptop to sleep, can run...

No lights for caps lock, etc (Just shows up temporarily on the screen), touchpad is in the right place to accidentally hit while typing (although think that's pretty much universal)

Excellent, Solid, DEPENDABLE laptop

 

I swapped out the regular hard drive on my NV76R45u and put in an SSD. Now the laptop boots from cold start to Windows 7 desktop in literally 18 seconds!!! The speed of this laptop astounds me every time I use it! I always recommend this model whenever...

I purposely looked for another Gateway laptop since I have owned multiple ones over the years and this one is EXCELLENT like all the rest. You can't beat the price for 6GB of RAM and a nice i3 processor... and best... Windows 7 !!! It's very well...

The trackpad!!! WHY oh why couldn't Gateway have spent a little more and put in a Synaptics trackpad. I've never had problems with those. BUT... this Gateway has an ElanTech trackpad. I never heard of Elan, but it's BAD. Bad because it picks up...

Best Laptop at this Price Point

 

Beautiful display, Runs very cool/quiet, Unique coloring (some don't like it, I do), I actually enjoy the spacing between the keys on the keyboard. Great WLAN. Swap out the hard drive for an SSD and this baby flies

Trackpad (like many people have mentioned) is terrible. I bought this USB mouse for $13 and it has been a revelation ; http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA32C1DB2603 ; Even if you don't like that one, invest in a USB or wireless mouse...

Great Deal

 

The bloatware was there, but easy enough to remove and there wasn't a ton of it to be removed.

Fast boot, runs nice and cool, haven't had it become unresponsive in any way at all in my first month of ownership

I dislike the space between the keys on the keyboard but a negligible complaint as it still works just fine

Gateway Laptop

 

Need a solid computer that really gets with it, you should consider this model.

Product came within 3 days in a very secured package. This is my fourth computer from Newegg and as always they do a great job. Got this for my wife who is a nursing student and she loves the red color. I did the set up, made factory back-up disks and...

Not to much here except speakers are just ok and all the bloatware will take a little time to remove
