I've had this laptop for just over a month. Setup went smooth as silk and no issues to speak of since then. Its fast and battery life has been solid (though I havent timed it to see how long it takes to run it down). I have been more than happy with this purchase and would certainly buy it again.

simply gorgeous

This was a present to myself to replace my old 2004 Gateway laptop. What a deal! For less than $600 you get a super-fast processor, tons of storage space, and Windows 7 (which, BTW, is leaps and bounds better than Vista). I like the feel of the keyboard. It's not quite as cramped as a typical laptop keyboard, so your hands don't ache after typing a lot. It's also got a set of number keys at the right of the letter keys, which I love. This computer has a built-in wireless card, and it makes connecting to the internet extremely easy. I hardly had to do anything at all to make it connect to my home wireless network. Yay! The screen is bright and crisp. And the whole thing weighs about 5 or 6 pounds...SO much easier on my shoulders when lugging it through an airport!

The very few cons I found with this laptop deal with the mouse pad. I had to play around a bit with the mouse pad properties to make it as sensitive as I like. It took a bit of digging to find the "Mouse & Pointers" folder in the Control Panel, but I think that is a Windows 7 issue and not a Gateway issue. The other thing is the mouse buttons. Sometimes the left-click button is too sensitive, so you wind up selecting/unselecting an item when all you want to do is just select it. It's not a huge deal...just a little annoying. But I do find the multi-gesture mouse pad to be pretty cool. It makes it very easy to scroll through long documents or web pages.

The only other con is the Office package it comes with (and I think this is across the board with Windows-based computers these days): It comes with Microsoft WORKS rather than Microsoft OFFICE. MS Works kind of stinks...it's a watered down version of Office, which I don't care for much because it doesn't have the same capabilities as the real programs like Word and Excel. You do have the option to purchase MS Office after a 60-day trial, but I wish I didn't have to bother with the download. I'd rather just pay extra up front and have it already.

Overall, I found all the pros outweigh the cons. I love this computer and I am very happy with it. Gateway computers have served me well over the last 15 years and I wouldn't buy anything else.

Gateway P-7815u FX LX.W4302.010 Laptop Computer

Best laptop for your money.

This computer is the best for the money at this price. HP, Dell, Sony, and Apple dont have laptops at this price range for the quality. Mainly the video card but the processor is sufficient for a laptop, you don't need anything else faster than this. It comes with a good amount of ram, this one has 4. But if you get over 6GBs of ram its pointless because it stresses the memory board. The webcam is awesome. 17" Big screen for gaming and cinema. I am hoping to get one when I get into college this month. I really love this computer, it even has a nice orange trim. 100% best purchase for laptops. Way to go Gateway! And Tiger Direct better save me one! =)

Gateway NV5936u 15.6-Inch HD Display Laptop (NightSky Black)

Gateway NV5937u Laptop - love it!

-- 2010-04-19
I love this laptop! It has the hard drive capacity and processor strength of laptops that cost a LOT more. I haven't had any problems at ALL. It has run smoothly, and was very easy to set up and begin using. The ONLY thing that I'm not crazy about is that the number pad on the keyboard is smaller than most laptops that have a number pad. The number keys are smaller, and the decimal point is not at the bottom of the numbers, where it is SUPPOSED to be.... It is at the top. So, that confuses me and will take quite a bit of getting used to. Other than that, I have totally loved it! I would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Gateway NV5336u 15.6-Inch Laptop (Brown)

My computer did not bring the installation disks and drivers.

-- 2010-08-20
This computer is excellent, but did not bring the drivers. I had to reinstall windows, since my mother does not handle the English language, and surprise had no driver, I did not care much, but after installing all the drivers I noticed that the touchpad does not work the scroll. For the rest is very good, my computer!

Awesome laptop

I bought this laptop about 2 months ago and I must say that it is awesome. It runs fast. HD movies look awesome and it runs very smoothly The keyboard is soft and very comfortable too. The only problems I have are with the touch-pad (very uncomfortable)and the control panel on top of the keyboard which easily gets smudge with fingerprints if used with hands that are not so clean.

On the whole, I'd definitely recommend this laptop. I use it for college for engineering and Computer Science tasks. I even ran it once as a server. If I could, I'd get another.
