Gateway NV56R10u 15.6-Inch Laptop (Glossy Black, Intel Dual Core,4GB RAM, 320GB HDD, Win 7 HP)

Gateway NV56R10u 15.6-Inch LaptopThe only other online review of this laptop says it's a good budget PC for students, casual users, and business. I'll agree. It'll pretty much do tasks like word processing, spreadsheets, and browsers, but don't expect to use it for demanding games and "power user" tasks. Video clips play fine, and the speaker sound on the okay side. I almost always use headphones or a portable ipod speaker for my background music. Sims 3 actually runs on this laptop well, although the game will cause the laptop to overheat and crash the game, so you'll want a laptop fan when playing. It's not too difficult to have the computer temporarily freeze because of multiple applications running, so optimize it by, for example, turning of Windows 7's Aero theme. Despite all this, with laptops becoming more powerful yet cheaper every year, most everyday computer users are now better off buying a new, better budget laptop every few years, than buying a more expensive high-powered computer for longer use.
