For the budget minded users, the HP Pavilion dv7t and the Gateway NV79 are godsends. The Gateway NV7901u offers a large display, the newest Core CPU, a built-in DVD drive and strong dedicated graphics power, all under $1,000. Sure it’s over 7 pounds,...

This laptop can do it all, I play l4d2 with all 'medium' settings and get 50-110 FPS with about 65-70 average (even during big action parts.) It has a nice huge screen with a good case. It doesn't get hot easily and cools off quickly. Personally I...

The case trim is nice but I have a feeling it might not take to much to break it, then again I could be very wrong. To address a few other's concerns, the keyboard at least for me does seem a bit awkward at first but I got use to it fairly quickly and...

nice machine workes well when it wants to problem is it will only start up after removing the battery 3 or 4 times

will not start up black screen got it to run long enough to update it but when you hardboot does not want to start up going to have to return it

This laptop is well made, looks awesome, is thinner than I expected and has a high quality feel. I think the hardware on here is fantastic for the price. The screen is nice and bright and has decent resolution, the Radeon HD 5650 graphics card is...

My cons are small. The power cord falls out of the laptop port sometimes. There is very little separation between the keys which makes it a little harder to type. Like most laptops now, the cover is a finger print magnet

No heating issue at all, this laptop does not get hot like the old ones and burn your legs off. I love having dual hard drives running, this is the first laptop i have had with this feature and it is nice to have a raid running. I love the multitouch...

no lights to illuminate the keyboard, and no light to assist the webcam. the bios is pretty locked down so dont think too much about overclocking or anything unless you want to flash the bios. speakers are a bit low for my likings. card reader could...

It has a huge screen with high resolution and is very bright/crisp ; The Core i5 processor is great, I have yet to put it under any great strain ; Fast boot-up, 1 to 2 minutes ; ATI Radeon HD 5650; That powerful of a video card at this price? Are you...

I'm nitpicking but ; Fingerprint magnet ; Battery life is only around 2hrs 30mins, 3hrs on power saving settings, but that's to be expected at this screen size with this kind of hardware ; Lots of bloat ware, but you can remove it within 20 minutes ;...

Keyboard is well laid out. The power cord is easy to work around. Screen is large and bright. I haven't given the video card a workout yet but so far it's been great ; This is my fourth laptop and by far the best I've owned. The sound is better than...

The top of the laptop is not as bad as the Acer I just returned to Newegg (that one had same specs and video card but many artifacts at times). the inside does get dusty and if you wipe the area above the keyboard you can turn off the volume, the...

After agonizing between purchasing this or a 15.6 inch model from a competitor with identical hardware, I have been very pleased with my choice. One of the main reasons I chose the Gateway is that it runs about 10 degrees cooler than the other model,...

I don't like the pressure-sensitive buttons or the fact that they glow red when in use, but this is just my preference. The keyboard has a few issues; the keys are too close to each other and slightly larger than I would prefer - I find myself striking...
