Reviews for the Gateway NV55S07u-6344G50Mnrk
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
Gateway's aging NV platform is certainly starting to feel like updating. The NV55S07u-6344G50Mnrk does offer a quad core AMD processor which gives it better than expected graphics and the numeric keypad is something that many 15-inch laptops are dropping these days. The problem is that is the battery life is below much of the Intel based laptops in this price range and it lacks a USB 3.0 port which some of the Gateway NV series has included in the past.

Integrated processor graphics card (in the A6-Series of Llano APUs) without dedicated graphics memory and only 320 of the 400 shader cores.

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.

With this weight, a laptop is rather heavier than average. Devices in this range shine more with screen size and performance than with mobility.
