60% Gateway NE56R12u 15.6-inch Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
Gateway takes their NV series of laptops and gives them an even more affordable makeover with the NE56R12u which can typically be found for under $400. The system is certainly affordable and is sufficient for many that just need basic computer needs. Heck, it has the same memory, hard drive size and battery life as system that cost nearly twice as much.

70% Gateway NE56R02I Review
Source: Tech2.in.com Archive.org version
This particular variant (B812G32Mnks) of the Gateway NE56R is priced at Rs. 22,999. It’s one of the best looking laptops in the segment, with its dual-tone colour scheme and glossy accents. The NE56R comes with a one year warranty and the service is taken care of by Acer India. If you’re planning to buy an entry-level laptop for a budget of up to Rs. 25,000, this model deserves serious consideration. The feature set is good and the price includes a Windows 7 Home Basic license.

70% Gateway NE 72206u review: An affordable, but not so swift, big-screen laptop
Source: PC World Archive.org version
The NE72206u is a lot of laptop for $500, even if it’s not the swiftest or lightest. Weighing 7.7 pounds with the AC adapter, it’s not for weak shoulders. It is great for working around the house and for playing movies and casual games—but darn, I wish that second drive bay had a SATA connector.

The Gateway NE72206u is an affordable desktop replacement laptop that will meet basic user's needs, but mediocre performance and a dated feature set leave some things to be desired. While the price of the Gateway NE72206u may fit your budget nicely, there’s more to a laptop than price.

While the price of the Gateway NE72206u may fit your budget nicely, there's more to a laptop than price. The NE72206u offers passable battery life, a decent feature set, and a large display, but other competitors offer better value. The Editors' Choice Dell Inspiron 15 (I15RV-6190 BLK), for example, offers similar performance for nearly $100 dollars less, and the Toshiba Satellite C875-S7340 offers better performance, which will translate into a faster, more enjoyable experience.

Living with the Gateway NE72206u for a few weeks has convinced us that we probably overbought with our past few family PCs. The Gateway NE72206u shows just how high you can reach on a low budget in today's laptop market. Yes, it's missing some creature comforts and performance overall is merely adequate, but if you want a 17-inch bargain with great battery life, you'll want to check it out.

Comment

Gateway: Gateway, Incorporated. is a computer hardware company based in California which develops, manufactures, supports, and markets a wide range of personal computers, computer monitors, servers, and computer accessories. AOL acquired Gateway.net, the online component of Gateway  Inc., in 1999. 2007, Acer completed its acquisition of Gateway for approximately US$710 million. The market share outside of the US market is rather low.

In 2014 to 2016, Gateway did no longer belong to the Top 10 laptop manufacturers/distributors. Newer devices from Gateway are hardly reviewed by specialist media any longer (as of 2016).

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Intel HD Graphics 3000: Integrated graphics card in the Intel Sandy Bridge processors (Core ix-2xxx). The HD 3000 is the faster (internally GT2 called) version with 12 Execution Units (EUs).

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

AMD Radeon HD 8400:

An integrated GCN-based GPU with 128 shader units and no dedicated VRAM. It is typically clocked at 600 MHz and paired with AMD Richland A6 "Kabini" processors.

Intel Pentium:

B950:

Intel Celeron:

B815:

AMD A-Series:

A6-5200: Quad-core APU for low-end laptops, codenamed Kabini. Based on the Jaguar architecture. Integrates an Radeon HD 8400 graphics card.

2.5 kg:

3.2 kg:

A laptop with this weight is comparatively heavy and less designed for mobility than for use at the desk. Therefore, the devices tend to shine less with battery life than with a large screen and higher performance.

66.67%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
