 1 Star? I think NOT! January 9, 2010
Hoobobba (NYS)
I can't believe this has so many 1 star ratings. I have had this laptop now for over 4 months and have had no problems with anything whatsoever. I've never bought a Gateway before, and I honestly never thought I would. After going through an Acer, which lasted me a little while but never truly enjoyed, I wanted to get something that I COULD enjoy. So I did some research and read some reviews and decided on buying this one. I spent a little bit more then I had hoped, but boy was it worth it!
Absolutely love the FULL size (or as one reviewer put it gigantic) keyboard with numeric pad. For the record I have small hands too! Probably not too good though if you are typing with 1 finger though. With some laptops the keyboards are so small I almost thought I could have been using a cellphone. As for the mouse, I never have liked any laptop mouses, and don't think I ever will which is why i just have a real one whenever possible. The design wasn't the best but its not hard to click down unless your like 3 years old and not any louder then a real mouse. But if you think it is you can just double tough the track pad and that works just like a left click.
I do like the power button on the side. However, I think they should tell you where the power button is. I had to google to figure out how to turn it on, I would have never thought to look on the side! I also like the touch pad panel controls. My cats have never turned anything off, heck even my little nephew hasn't turned anything off, then again I think kids like buttons they can really feel and see. Can it happen I'm sure, but really how hard is it to just turn it back on?
Battery life could have been better but they don't lie. I've seen some that say they have a 6 hour battery life and your lucky if they last for 4 doing nothing. This one does last 3 hours and you can physically surf the web and what not and get just about the full 3 hours.
I watch a lot of youtube, hulu, and what not so I absolutely love the widescreen. If thats not big enough for you, you can also hook it up to your tv, which I have not done yet because I think the screen is already big enough. I'm not much of a gamer, unless you consider Solitaire and Farmville, but I think you should have little problems with most of them. I have multiple windows and tabs open and the computer is still fast. I have 8 tabs open right now as I am writing this.
So look at the specs, look at the reviews, and then look at the price and YOU decide! I don't think you will disappointed if you pick this one though, I know I'm not!

 Laptop is good, keyboard is horrible December 8, 2009

This laptop delivers quite a bit for the money. However, the keyboard is terrible. The keys are too large and touch-typists or those used to good keyboards will find the keyboard on this computer frustrating. I'd look elsewhere.
 Excellent Computer November 19, 2009

Love it. Light, long battery life, and fast. One issue that may or may not be a big issue. The charger doesn't seem to charge to battery unless it is plugged into the laptop and oriented in the correct direction. This sounds weird, but the charger plug (that connects to the side of the laptop) must be pointed up in order for the laptop to charge. This could be a potentially big problem if the connection is weak and ends up failing. Customer support so far has been unhelpful and I noticed that another poster had a similar if not the same problem.
Overall great laptop except for the power issue.

Great turn around time on my order. Product arrived ahead of schedule and in perfect shape. It works as advertised and no problems found with it to date. Good company to do business with.
