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.

Best Deals for Gateway NE56R50u 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black)

This computer is well made, and I bought it primarily because I've owned two other Gateway computers (1 laptop, 1 desktop). I still don't quite know how to feel now that I've seen the "Acer Computer" label on the bottom. It has an LED backlit screen, and the display is phenomenal. If I'm not mistaken, I believe it is HD. When I was comparing the features Amazon listed versus other similar models, the video card wasn't listed as anything special, but I found it is the same as the comparable Dell model.

On the downside, it runs on Windows 8, which I don't like. My previous laptop came with Windows "Vista", (which SUCKED), so I upgraded it to Windows 7. Maybe in time, I'll get used to the new operating system,but I doubt it. It works well, I just don't like it.

If you're thinking of buying this computer, I don't think you can go wrong. It is fast, has nice sound, a fantastic display, and a built in numeric keypad (which I unfortunately don't need now, due to a job change). It's a good buy.

Honest reviews on Gateway NE56R50u 15.6-Inch Laptop (Black)

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.
