Reviews for the Gateway NV75S17u
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
The spec sheet for the Gateway NV75S17u may make it seem like a high end desktop replacement laptop but its price under $650 is much more telling. In terms of a budget 17-inch system, it has some good points to it including a quad core processor, improved integrated graphics and a Blu-ray compatible drive.

DTR are mainly intended for stationary desk use, where weight and energy hunger don't matter. In return, you enjoy the advantages of high resolutions (more details, better legibility).» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.
3.3 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.

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.
