Been a Gateway user for years. Only PC/laptop I'll buy, even though Acer bought them out. Great power, memory, and storage for the money. Fast 2GHz quad core processore! Cannot downgrade to Window 7 from 8 since there are only a few available drivers. Installed third party user interface to make it look and act like Windows 7. Works great. My wife is happy with it, and, if she's happy, I'm happy.

I'd had an HP laptop for six years. Originally, loved it, but it became a chore to haul it around. It was way too heavy and it'd gotten old and slow. This Gateway NE72206u is a racehorse. It boots up quickly, has a nice long battery life and I love every aspect of it's use.

I didn't have a huge budget for a new laptop, so this one was a great find. It's everything I needed for work and school, and still powerful enough for mobile gaming and high-def movies. Also, surprisingly light for a widescreen laptop.

This was a gift for a young lady who now needs one in middle school. It is more than whe needs at present but is fast enough and capable enough to serve her for a few years.

This is a really nice laptop. Not super portable, but I really wanted to higher screen resolution and size... that said. IT'S AWESOME. I want a portable desktop replacement, not something I can slip into a sleeve and haul all over. This is it.

I had a Gateway prior to this one and although it only lasted about 2.5 years... it was smaller. Ultimately that had a fan issue and it was prohibitive to replace even though the part was low cost... I HATE, HATE, HATE trying to repair laptops and it proved me right once again... but that did not stop me from buying another.

i will say that many years back I was a top end ThinkPad loyalist... until Lenovo took over. I would prefer a $3000 laptop, but let's face it no matter what you buy you are looking at a 3-4 year realistic life on a laptop if you actually travel with it. That and they take much more punishment due to the heat and lack of cooling ability in the small space.

That said, this one has fabulous graphics for the business or casual user. A serious gamer would not be thrilled, but I am. I sell and support accounting software, and want to watch a netflix streamed in a hotel room a few times a year. I also require quite a lot of storage room for client files and databases (I run SQL developer, multiple instances) on here. It's perfect.

They all seem to be going to the flat keys these days, which is an adjustment especially since I hook all three of my computers up to a KVM and am used to a more ero keyboard. however the spacing and 10 key on this are great for on the road... it's just an adjustment from a standard type keyboard layout of course.
