PC Magazine have published a review of the Gateway NV55S05u laptop. 'Although the laptop's shiny plastic enclosure is a three-year old design, it's bright white hue and flowery decorations is pleasing enough to offset the inexpensive materials. But it's no match for the luxury of the aluminum covers found in the Lenovo IdeaPad V570-1066A9U ($629.99 list, 4 stars) and Asus U56E-BBL5 ($649.99 list, 4 stars). For a desktop replacement, the NV55S05u isn't overly bulky; its 5.6-pound frame is in the same ball park as the 5.5-pound Asus U56E-BBL5 and 5.6-pound HP Pavilion dv6-6013cl ($649.99 list, 4.5 stars). If you need a lighter 15-inch system, the 5.2-pound Samsung RV520-W01 can provide that.'

MobileTechReview have published a review of the Gateway ID49C13u laptop. 'The Gateway ID49C has Windows 7 Home Premium and Microsoft Office Starter 2010 that includes Word Starter and Excel Starter 2010, but doesn't include PowerPoint 2010 or Outlook 2010. Cyberlink PowerDVD and Nero 9 Essentials are included for multimedia playback and a Norton Internet Security 2010 60-trial is pre-loaded. The Gateway ID49C is a nice looking laptop in silver and black. The cover design is similar to the Gateway EC series that has a flat silver cover with a small wave line at the end. The wrist rest and keyboard are also silver; with touch controls above the keyboard for multimedia playback and DVD drive control.'

PC Magazine have published a review of the Gateway NV55C03u laptop. 'The Gateway NV55C03u ($479.99 list, at Best Buy) is a budget laptop that costs a bit more than the true, bottom-of-the-barrel laptops you find in the store. Those hover around the $400 mark and feature low-end parts like a single-core processor and lack standard features such as a webcam. The Gateway NV55C03u provides modern laptop basics, including a dual-core Intel Pentium processor and a webcam, along with a roomy 15.6-inch display, a multi-touchpad, and an HDMI port. In order to hit its low price, however, corners needed to be cut and, indeed, the plastic chassis looks and feels cheap, the keyboard is substandard, and the audio output is underwhelming.'

A review of the new Gateway NV59C09u 15.6" laptop has been posted over at MobileTechReview. 'The Gateway NV59 has a glossy screen with wide viewing angles. The screen looks gorgeous for Blu-ray movie watching and playing games. If you don't like glossy screens though you are out of luck since the Gateway screen is very glossy. The 15.6" backlit LED display has 1366 x 768 native resolution with 16:9 aspect ratio, and it looks bright and color saturated. To compliment the nice screen, the Gateway also has loud and full built-in speakers. The webcam also got an upgrade to 1.3 megapixels.'

Laptop Magazine have published a review of the Gateway NV59C09u laptop. 'After churning out umpteen NV notebooks with updated specs but the same design, Gateway has re-thought this line of laptops. Following a trend set by HP and Dell, Gateway ditched its super glossy lid and instead went with a subtly patterned one whose finish has a bit too much kick to be called matte, but is still subdued enough that it's not reflective. The result is an attractive, more understated surface that masks fingerprints. The lid and palm rest's silver color and fine pattern of wavy lines should also prove gender-neutral.'

PC World have published their review of the Gateway LT2120u laptop. 'At 2.76 pounds, the LT2120u is hardly a featherweight, though it's about average for this category of netbook with a battery capable of this kind of run time. You can access the hard drive and memory module via screw-secured access panels on the bottom of the unit. Since the netbook has only one accessible memory slot, upgrading to 2GB to improve multitasking will require replacing the existing 1GB module. You'll also find a vacant miniPCI Express slot underneath the hard drive panel; if you have the need to add a Bluetooth or other card later on, you should be able to do so easily.'

PC World have published their review of the Gateway NV7915u laptop. 'The Gateway NV7915u has a massive chassis, and weighs a beefy 6.8 pounds. Still, the classy design offers a few nice touches. In contrast to the smudge-prone glossy finish on the outside, the keyboard and wrist rest have a subtle matte finish to minimize fingerprints. Above the keyboard is a sleek row of status lights (Bluetooth, hard-drive access, and the like), as well as touch-sensitive LEDs that let you instantly activate data backup, Wi-Fi toggle, touchpad disable, mute, and volume control. The NV7915u also comes with a good but not spectacular set of interface and media features: a DVD drive, four USB ports, HDMI- and VGA-out, an SD Card reader, and network and modem ports. Overall, the machine exhibits good craftsmanship, but it's nothing dazzling.'

PC World have published a review of the Gateway NV5807U laptop. 'The 320GB SATA hard drive and the 8X dual-layer Super Multi optical drive will give you plenty of storage space, and the standard array of ports (two USB ports on each side of the laptop and a multiformat card reader) and connectivity options (56-kbps modem, gigabit ethernet, and 802.11a/g/n Wi-Fi) will give you plenty of ways to fill that hard drive up. Note that the NV5807 doesn't have FireWire, so if you have a video camera that requires it, look elsewhere.'
