In general a description of any new laptop doesn’t have “$350”, “Assortments of features” and “new” terms altogether, but Gateway seems to change all that with their all new Gateway NV55C53u. The all new Gateway NV55C53u has a 15.3 in display and the system runs on Intel dual core processor and the graphics for the system are taken care by the HD graphics as well; and the best thing here is that you get all that for around $350 only from certain retailers. Now, generally it’s the features and upgrade options that tempts the users for any laptop; but here it’s the nice starting price of $350. The newly launched Gateway NV55C53u boasts a nicely sized 15.6 in LED LCD HD (high definition) wide screen display that has a native resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels  [...]

Gateway Laptop battery lasts longer if the brightness is pulled down. A lot of energy is spent in illuminating the display and hence you should lower it when not needed. If you are just listening to music, the display can be switched off completely. If you are typing on the laptop then you will need good brightness levels. Don’t push the screen brightness to a level where you cannot read it anything at all. It will be a miserable experience. In fact, it is always recommended that you keep the brightness of the screen low because it doesn’t strain your eyes much. Another way to get the best out of your Gateway laptop battery is too switch it off when not needed. Or if you are going to use it frequently, put the notebook in sleep mode between the sessions.  [...]

The Gateway ID49C08u is a thin and stylish offering from Gateway, the ID49C08u, comes with a slim form factor coupled with Core i3/i5 processors and an optical drive, and is different from the conventional designs that the company offers. When we last reviewed Gateway's fresh thin laptop, it was in the form of the budget-price $629 ID49C07U from our 2010 retail desktop and laptop back-to-school roundup. The ID49C08U is priced significantly high, and costs around $849, but at the same time it comes loaded with an Nvidia GeForce GT330M GPU having Optimus automatic-switching graphics and an Intel Core i5 processor. Though, the specifications here are tempting and the price is decent, but several similar systems having higher-end touches doesn’t cost that much, counting the HP Envy 14 that  [...]

Netbooks have carved their niche in the modern electronic market pretty nicely by offering PC functionality at the prices which even weren’t imaginable a few years ago. These netbooks comes with an emblematic setup of Intel Atom N450 CPU, a 10-inch display, Windows 7 Starter and 1GB of RAM, and could be obtained for as less as $299; and these are sufficient for several basic computing tasks such as e-mailing, surfing the Web etc. These low prices of netbooks indicates only one thing and that is the eagerness of the PC makers in market to up sell, and there even are some systems having larger HD displays, better CPUs, more RAM and graphics ability. One such example is the Asus Eee PC 1201, which combines a bigger screen with Nvidia's Ion GPU, which sometimes we calls a “premium Netbook”  [...]

“Reasonable price” and “attention-grabbing” these are two terms that you don’t use together too often in relation with a laptop. This is why when we saw the Gateway ID49C07u we were surprised, because not only it had an attention grabbing design, but at the same time it is affordably priced and hence fulfilling both aspects thoroughly. The thin, silvery ID49C07u is priced at $629. Powered by a Core i3 processor, a 500GB hard drive and 4GB of RAM the ID49C07u surely doesn’t skimp. The ID49C07u even some how managed to fit in a DVD-burning drive into its slim body. There are few Core i3 laptops, in the market that are as beautiful and as good-looking as the ID49C07u, that for the as less price as this one, but the good looks of the system aren’t complemented well by the great construction  [...]

As a matter of fact the midrange models are the trend of modern market, and keeping this trend in mind Gateway has introduced its all new midsize laptop. This graciously configured Core 2 Duo laptop comes in frame which neither is too bulky, nor will be mistaken for a Netbook anytime sooner. As, Acer and Gateway have merged, Gateway primarily is surviving in the market as a brand that provides a wide range of variation on Acer's offerings. In case of the all new Gateway NV5807u, the outcome is definitely worth considering, as the price what we see here is satisfactory for what it offers. Priced at $599, the NV5807u is a serious  [...]

A lot of people consider aesthetics as a major factor in deciding their laptop. For such consumers Gateway laptops are just what the doctor ordered and if you don’t believe us, see the all new Gateway NV59C09u priced at $799. The NV59C09u is a 15-inch notebook powered by a Core i3 processor and comes with Blu-ray combo drive. The NV59C09u clearly is a lot more attractive than its NV-series precursors, but considering the fact that the recently reviewed Gateway NV5933u comes at $649 and offers the same package, although in a tad different body, might keep some consumers away from this system. There also are a couple of other additional differences, but if you are not in love with the design of NV59C09u and are not OK with paying $150 extra, we don’t see a reason why you shouldn’t get  [...]

So finally we all seem to admit the fact that the Blu-ray drive is here to stay, and to stay here for a while. But that certainly doesn’t mean that consumers in the market are ready to put their money on a system, just because it has a Blu-ray player. But whatsoever, you don’t have to worry about that. The price of the Netbooks, having Blu-ray, is constantly dropping and many of the other machines are offering it as an upgrade option. But despite all this, the price at which the Gateway NV5933u, a 15-inch Core i3 laptop is offering is simply amazing. This Gateway NV5933u with Blu-ray is priced only meager $650. Design In terms of looks the Gateway NV5933u is pretty much identical to most of the recent Gateways that we reviewed from the NV line. And hence  [...]

Intel’s Atom CPU dominates the battle of Netbook market supremacy single handedly, though there are some stern contenders in the form of Via CPUs and AMD. This is what stunned us when we found so much to like about in the 11.6 inch Gateway LT3103u, which actually uses an AMD Athlon 64 L110 processor. On top of it the AMD Athlon processor of LT3103u gave it performance smoother than most of the Atom-powered Netbooks, but this didn’t have any impact on the price of the Netbook. The huge screen of the system has a high-definition 1366 x 768 resolution, which now a days is getting pretty common in the high-end Netbooks. But priced at $379, the Gateway LT3103u is reasonably priced than most of the other 11 inch Netbooks that we’ve seen, such as the Asus Eee PC 1101HA along with some of  [...]

The Gateway NV7901u is the high-end model of Gateway’s NV79 series, which features large screened laptops. The series range starts from NV7915u and goes up to the model that we have now – the Gateway NV7901u. Now if you remember the Gateway NV7915u, which we reviewed some time back and applauded for its 17-inch display, huge hard-drive capacity, Intel Core i3 processor, munificent RAM and lucrative price of $599. All these features made it a great all-around laptop for a dream price. Just as its precursor the Gateway NV7901u is a real deal at $849 and with a 2.26 GHz Intel Core i5 processor, in addition to out-and-out ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics which are much better than average.
