Gateway NX570X Reviewed

The Gateway NX570X business laptop has been reviewed over at PC Magazine. 'The NX570X's 15.4-inch screen is matted and coated with an antiglare film. You can opt for a transflective screen (a $25 upgrade), in which the pixels are illuminated from both front and back. This is particularly good for multimedia tasks like video and photo editing. The mouse buttons, actually the same ones found on the classy Gateway E-100M ultraportable, can get quite noisy. That's one of the few enhancements that shouldn't have been made. The keyboard is lovely for extensive typing, and Gateway keeps the surrounding area clear of add-ons such as application keys and a biometric fingerprint reader. Despite a new design, all the accessories are still compatible with other Gateway laptops. This includes the extended batteries, AC adapters, modular hard drives, and optical drives.

The NX570X's other features are generic for a Gateway laptop. You get four USB ports, a FireWire port, and an S-Video port. It does have a 5-in-1 card reader (for xD, SD, MMC, MS, and MS Pro) that covers most of your media formats. My configuration came with an 80GB, 7,200-rpm hard drive, but you can currently swap that out for a 200GB, 4,200-rpm one at no extra charge. A dual-layer DVD burner comes built into this system; again, it's pretty standard.'
