Reviews for the Gateway NV79C50u

80% Gateway NV79C50u 17.3-inch Desktop Replacement Laptop PC
Source: Comp Reviews English Archive.org version

With a price tag of $830, the Gateway NV79C50u may not seem all that different from many similarly priced 17-inch laptops but it does have one distinct advantage. The ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650 graphics put it well ahead of the competition by making it a competent 17-inch gaming laptop that won't cost much and has a relatively slim profile.

Comment

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5650: Middle class DirectX 11 capable graphics card with a power consumption of about 15-20 Watt. Supports Eyevision (up to 6 monitors)

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Graphics Cards and the corresponding Benchmark List.


460M: The Core i5-460M has only 3 MB L3 Cache (compared to the I7-620M) and clocks between 2.53-2.8 GHz (Turbo Mode). Thanks to Hyperthreading, 4 threads can be processed simultaneously. An integrated graphics card (GMA HD) and a DDR3 memory controller are also included in the package.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
