Reviews for the Gateway NV77H05u

The Gateway NV77H05u is a solid performer when it comes to day-to-day tasks, but outside of that there's not much else this budget laptop offers. If you're willing to part with $20 more, then the Editors' Choice Asus U56E-BBL5 will provide more wireless features (WiDi 2.0 and WiMAX) as well as a better processor.

Gateway;s NV77H05u will appeal greatly to a very specific segment of buyers. That would be those looking to get a low cost laptop that features a larger screen with a higher resolution. At $600, it is very affordable and offers some surprising features including 6GB of memory and a USB 3.0 port. This is great for those that don't need high performance or 3D graphics.

17.3": Meanwhile the 17 inch display size is a more frequently offered standard format for desktop-replacements. The DTR-laptops can't be carried easily, need much energy but on the other side texts can be read easily and high resolutions are no problem. DTR mainly are intended for stationary usage on desks, where the weight and the energy need are unimportant.
