60% Gateway 15.6-inch Ultra Slim Notebook review: Big screen on a budget
Source: PC World
The Gateway 15.6-inch Ultra Slim Notebook’s biggest saving grace may be its potential to work as a cheap desktop replacement. Real-world performance is pretty snappy, you can upgrade the memory if needed, and the HDMI port facilitates easy connections to external monitors. Using this laptop with an external display, keyboard, and mouse would sidestep many of its biggest shortcomings. You'd be hard-pressed to find a comparable desktop for $400.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.

60%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
