Gateway Laptop Reviews

"The UC7807u ($800 street), a mainstream laptop, is priced accordingly, and Gateway paid close attention to its design: The barreled hinge, the brushed aluminum interior, and the lacquered top are all noteworthy...But along with the aesthetics, Gateway also piles on the weight: The UC7807u is one the heaviest 13-inch laptops on the market...Its overall design is far from perfection, though...While the UC7807u's CCFL screen is bright and pleasant to work with, this laptop's frame shouldn't be that much heavier than those of the MacBook and the U330...Since it's an inexpensive system, the UC7807u's performance potential is inferior to that of the Lenovo U300 or the aluminum MacBook..." read more »

"I'm not good with writing reviews, however my Son, and I love all that this laptop can do...And I recommend buying this type of laptop...Then we needed to restore it but the restore partition was bad..." read more »

"Price is $799.97, and I think when most places change a price to NOT be .99 at the end, means they are closing it out - YMMV...HD2600 with 512Mb GDDR3 should be decent enough - Gateways aren;t usually too hard to upgrade the CPU on, and Costco has the 2yr warranty, 90-days no-questions-asked return policy...I've been mulling it over, thinking, wavering, finally 20 minutes ago I decide to pull the trigger, go to costco.com, create an account, go to add the M-6851 to my cart and..." read more »

"This is a full-featured, desktop-class gaming and media rig made to blow through process-intensive apps, memory-thirsty media and graphics-hungry video output and games...Sure, you could get these things in a desktop, but what good's that gonna do on your next road trip..." read more »

"The current Gateway C-Series consists the C-143 models, replacing the C-141 that had followed up on the CX200 Series introduced in October of 2005 and the company's initial M275 Tablet PC convertible...That said, the C-143 comes in two models, the C-141X, starting at US$1,079, and the C-141XL, starting at US$1,299...Essentially, what happened between the C-141 and the C-143 is some slight reconfiguration and dropping the US$879 loss-leader 141X model in favor of the much quicker 143X...Overall, the current C-Series hasn't changed much from its predecessor or even the prior generation CX200..." read more »

"The Gateway M-1618's slender case has just enough room for the basic ports and connections, with a few curious additions...The M-1618 lacks the mini-FireWire we've come to expect on a midsize laptop, though it does include a multiformat memory-card reader so you can still grab images and video from your digital camera...Priced at $899, our Gateway M-1618 review unit featured a 1.9GHz AMD Turion 64 X2 TL-58 processor, 2GB of RAM, and ATI Radeon X1270 graphics...Despite its pokey performance scores, the Gateway M-1618's performance is enough to handle the budget buyer's basic multitasking, Web surfing, and productivity use without any obvious stuttering...The Gateway M-1618 also posted mediocre battery scores, lasting just 1 hour and 40 minutes on our grueling DVD drain test..." read more »

"Though of course almost any notebook computer will do for typical home use, there are two types of laptops most suitable for home users: mid-size notebooks, which tend to be budget-friendly, and desktop replacements, which are usually packed with features...Tell us what you like about this product...Tell us what you don't like about this product..." read more »
