This review is from: Gateway NV5921u 15.6-Inch Laptop (Midnight Blue) (Personal Computers)
I have had nothing but Gateway desktop pc's. This my first laptop and very happy with Gatweway NV5921u! Fast,quiet and very cool running! The blue cover looks awesome with the alligator motif! The touchpad has the multi-gesture feature! I have to get used to it but neat feature! The blu-ray player is nice feature and will output to HDTV. Time will tell how she holds up but I think this baby will keep on rockin!
The only downside might be battery life--about 3 hours-but that is about average I understand.--the blu-ray player really sucks the power BTW! Did I mention how "Light" she is! Way more portable than a 17 inch laptop! The 15 inch screen might be smallish compared to a 17 incher but fine for me! A Webcam is included as well. Grab one now!

| | AK_Chicago, February 16, 2010 I bought this primarily for Blu-Ray player, to occasionally hook up to HD TV in family room / bedroom, and not needing to invest in multiple BD players. Generally good machine but found out couple of annoying things with the blu-ray player. This comes with Power DVD8.. specifically when playing blu-ray DVDs (1) The output can go to EITHER built-in screen or the TV but not both simultaneously and (2) the mouse does not work to control/select (menu items etc), it has to be keyboard with arrows/enter keys, like in DOS days!
So I contacted gateway (thru the customer service "chat"), who, after "registration" info and rest of my life history tell me that they do not support "third party" things (like this Power DVD) and only hardware + OS. But here is the kicker, they will be happy if I called "answers by gateway" where the charge meter will start one minute into call.
So machine is ok (even good, but there are many out there) just the customer service and the main thing I wanted (blu-ray player) to work reasonably well, sucks. I should have done more research and stuck to more 'standard' brands, in hindsight, learning you get what you pay for.

I bought the NV59 series about 3 months ago, and I absolutly love it. The best feature, in my opinion, is the BluRay Drive, and the HD resolution. When I viewed my first BluRay disc I could see the pimples on peoples faces, thats how clear it is. The only thing that I have had trouble with is the mouse pad, it kinda has a mind of its own now and then, its kinda hard to describe so I will show you what happens..... I hopeweather is nice the.... It kinda skips now and then, it gets frustrating especially when you notice it after you typed everything you need too and then have to retype. I just use the button that "freezes" the mouse pad, and use a regular mouse. Other then that this computer is a gem, its fast, and there is plenty of room. More then enough room. It is good for a gamer or just to use as a business computer. The battery life is kinda low, but thats never a problem for me as I keep this plugged in most of the time. I think the life is just over 4 hours. That can be fixed by buying a battery that lasts longer or changing your battery settings. Among the many other things I love about this computer, I especially like that its lite, easy to carry around and doesnt weigh you down.... With that said, to sum it all up I absolutly love this computer and wouldnt trade it for anything!!!! | | | |
