ill be concise and simple.

Machine can run every pc game in 2011 smoothly on recommended settings. With regards to 2012, max out the ram (16gb) I believe and it should do 90% of all current games. This thing is a monster for the price.

AMD a8 is a 3rd generation processor. It is meant to compete with the intel i5; though many say its not as fast, a minute difference at best, realize one thing both are coupled with a videocard. AMD's is far superior; simply put amd is for gamers.

Style wise, the pictures aren't great on the website so it feels like a gamble. If you want a good idea, youtube it, you should get this single video where in it the guy has random dumb images appear as he unpacks his laptop, this is it. Too lazy to do that, then imagine the red gateway laptop with the amd a6, just black with a metallic gray keyboard.

The sound is pretty good, and the image quality is amazing, better than my lcd desktop monitor.

With regards to the battery, it says it maxes out at 5 hours, But that's probably on a dark screen playing solitare. For movie watching or surfing on powersaver it should be around 3.5-4 hours.

Material wise, its a solid laptop, its really solid plastic, with a metallic keyboard background to prevent things from intruding inside. I find it way better than the quality of my old dell.

Style wise I love it, it has a geometric pattern on the black portion and the lid closed looks like other nv's when closed.

If you still want more review on the laptop, look at the Acer Aspire V3-551-8469 15.6-Inch Laptop. It has 32 reviews, and is from what I find the exact same laptop, just acer branded, and 25$ more. Realize Acer bought Gateway in 2007, and gateway is a branch of it. I looked at the various pics and specs, even the touchpad is positioned like this model.

Honestly if you want a solid sturdy laptop, to play games, watch movies and surf the web this laptop is a wet dream for the price of %420.

Happy shopping :P

It was $400. Considering that price, I love this laptop!
It's had a few hiccups, but nothing that makes me angry about the purchase.
The speakers are garbage. I think the sound card is too - even with decent headphones, it still sounds cruddy.
It loves to attract dust. Whatever.
The most notable thing is that (and I think this is a software issue) It keeps telling me that my folders are not usable. I have to go back to "users > select > documents/pictures/etc" to save and retrieve. That's annoying. Really annoying.
All in all... it's a decent purchase. It never has refused to follow a command or refused to run anything. Sometimes it thinks for a second too long, but again: AMD... Gateway... $400!
