If you're on a tight budget, or you just don't want to spend a lot of money, I think this is definitely a great choice. The processor and memory are sufficient for ordinary use, the hard drive is ordinary, it has a ten key on the side, a good quality webcam, reasonable screen resolution and graphics, etc. It will work great for homework, and everyday use. If you play internet video games, it may not be the best choice, but otherwise, good for it's price. Others have something to brag about, and then a weak link to compensate the cost, but this laptop is well balanced to work well.

This was a purchase made to replace an old desktop that was running on its last leg. So far the only thing I dislike is windows 8 but nothing having to do with the actual laptop (Windows 8 does take a little getting used to).

The specs were right where we needed (expandable to 8 GB RAM) as this will mostly used for school work and not design or entertainment. Videos play with no problems, the wireless works with no connectivity issues. I was able to get MS Office installed and works right into the look of windows 8. The apps included are ok, but very easy to uninstall. No disks sent with the computer but not a problem for us.

I have not owned many laptops, I find this Gateway superb. It has taken a few days to get used to Windows 8, this is just learning.
This seems to be a nice laptop, so far I have been able to do everything I wished to. It is faster than my desktop, for some things.
I have yet to install some programs, this is due to getting used to 8.
I have found no problems, and the Wifi range is great. My Kindle, and other things using wifi, get maybe 2 bars, this laptop gets 3 to 4, which is good, since I use this at the other end of the house.
My next step will be to install FFXI game, on this, and a few other programs, I use daily.
