Fun, light, and deeper than it appears.  Pretty and great pacing for what it is; a light euro that can also be a gateway game.

For everyone elso who doesn't know about euro board games.. buy it.. get hooked.. drink the Kool-Aid.. go to Board Game Geek
and enjoy wonderful "unplugged" time with that special someone or many friends..

This desktop is awesome.  I watch hd videos all the time and surf the net too.  It's lightning fast and I never have any issues with it.  You will not find a better bargain than this gateway.  The processing speed along with the compact design have exceeded my expectations which says a lot since I'm so hard to please.  No buyers remorse here!

It's not a killer gaming card. But when you need an edge above your typical stock card, it dose the job and will give a non hard-core gamer the frames they need. Best features are it's low power draw and the fact that doesn't jam when it meets a non efi bios.

FYI: I dual boot. Win8=drivers updated automatically.
Ubuntu 14 and it's forks require Nvidia Drivers 340 available at ppa xedgers.

Purchased 2 motherboards and built 2 gaming PC's. All the software bugs seem to have been updated now so the MSI Live Update works great. Bios is easily updated from windows. My advice is to buy all new components. Windows 10 is a super buggy OS. On 2 separate installs on different PC's I had different issues. I have been running the PC's everyday non stop for gaming and the motherboards have been solid. All the issues I have encountered have to do with windows 10 drivers. Use a good SSD, Memory. Make sure every component you buy is compatible with Windows 10. The Bios interface is the best and this is by far the easiest board to overclock due to the bundled software. If your building your first gaming PC this is the board to use. Instructions are great and even include links to videos to show the connections. The only thing I encountered during the install was the nuts that are on the IO shield. Remove the nuts and screws on the IO shield before install into your case otherwise the board will not sit flat. Use the screws provided with your case to install the IO shield and motherboard (Simply hold the IO shield to the board and use a single screw). I don't know why the would leave nuts attached to the bottom of the board I just figured it looks better with the IO shield attached instead of loose in the packaging. On last feature I liked was the temp counter display on the board for the processor. If you have a see thru case its easy to see. Overall I would highly recommend this motherboard, easy to install, great bundled software, super easy overclock....

Install the drivers
Uninstall the Belkin Utility Tool (it doesn't work)
Use windows configuration for wireless

Works like a charm!  Strong 54G!  Using it alongside a Belkin Wireless repeater on my desktop and it beat out a Trendnet 54G PCI Card (actually trendnet looks cool, but I've had 3 wireless cards through Trendnet and they DO NOT retain their range or connection).

***UPDATE:
the 3002 version has many hiccups when I'm gaming - sometimes from 10 ping to 700.  Even when the ping is constant it'll lag.

I got the 4001 version from tech for less and it works well.  No hiccups, runs smooth.  Only issue is that when I shutdown the pc locks up.  So I either have to force shutdown (hold power button) or pull out the USB stick before I shutdowna and then put it back.

Either way, DO NOT USE Belkin wireless utility.  Just uses windows wireless manager.

I installed this on an older PC running Ubuntu 10.10 so that I could make use of an extra monitor.  After a couple of reboots and installing the latest drivers, this guy was pushing 2 monitors with no problems.  The picture is crisp and clean and the card handles the all of compiz's 3D effects with aplomb.
I don't know that I would recommend this for gaming, but it is just the thing for anyone trying to convince an older PC with PCI-E to run dual monitors.

These products worked perfectly upon attaching them to my new Gateway Win 8.0 (now 8.1) computer.  The donglegizmo is teeny weenie tiny.  Don't lose it!
Note also that both the key board and mouse havepower switches that might be useful to save batteries.
If your device doesn't have a usb port, you can't use these.

the CybertronPC Borg-Q is pretty awesome. the only problem is my lousy internet connection, other than that i would recommend this computer to gamers on a budget.

Great! I ended up getting an nvidia shield and gifting the GBOX but it did everything I wanted it to.  Worked great with emulators, KODI, etc.  You may have problems getting particular things like emulators and specialty apps if you're not android savy, but there are tutorials out there for most everything you can think of.

I have had this laptop for over a year now and it has performed flawlessly.  I love the design and the coolness of the machine if it is resting on my lap.  More importantly I appreciate the ease with which it operates, the speed is fine and the storage is perfect.  I need good graphics for photography and this supports gaming technology at a very affordable cost.  From my research at the time, the Quad Core processor was highly reviewed and I've had no problem.  While the speakers are weak, that problem is easily solved with the purchase of a set of small portable speakers.  I have had 2 Gateway desktop computers and my 2nd one is still running after 10 years! I'm considering upgrading the RAM in the desktop since it runs so well otherwise.  This is my first Gateway laptop and for the price paid I have been very pleased!

I just installed this graphics card into a Gateway computer that had only a 300 watt power supply and everything went SMOOTH!
I am running the Beta version of Windows 7 and it installed the correct driver and I was able to crank-up my monitor
BTW - Windows 7 rocks!

I had other things on order from other sellers and this arrived before any of my other items. So far it's been great! I will add one caveat. I used to play a lot of online games and I don't think this would be ideal for that application unless your router is close and unobstructed by walls. For hard-core gaming you can't beat a hardwired connection. For net surfing, E-mail,  Facebook, streaming video from Netflix or Amazon this device works as advertised. Very happy with it.

Paired this up with a amd 6300 black edition, the difference between this setup and my old one(amd x2 3.2 lol) was night and day. The UEFI bios on it makes setup easy and painless with mouse support built into it you don't have to go thru a list to get the option you want. The Network adapter works like a charm and made a huge difference in latency for gaming. Only draw back is i would liked a PCI slot rather than a third PCIE 4x slot but with so many pros this seems minor.

Purchased this RAM for a Gateway desktop with an AMD chipset.  Major improvement on the performance!!!  The system is running on Vista but, I will upgrade to Windows 7 Pro since it does run smoother...  Buy this product!!!!

ill be concise and simple.

Machine can run every pc game in 2011 smoothly on recommended settings. With regards to 2012, max out the ram (16gb) I believe and it should do 90% of all current games. This thing is a monster for the price.

AMD a8 is a 3rd generation processor. It is meant to compete with the intel i5; though many say its not as fast, a minute difference at best, realize one thing both are coupled with a videocard. AMD's is far superior; simply put amd is for gamers.

Style wise, the pictures aren't great on the website so it feels like a gamble. If you want a good idea, youtube it, you should get this single video where in it the guy has random dumb images appear as he unpacks his laptop, this is it. Too lazy to do that, then imagine the red gateway laptop with the amd a6, just black with a metallic gray keyboard.

The sound is pretty good, and the image quality is amazing, better than my lcd desktop monitor.

With regards to the battery, it says it maxes out at 5 hours, But that's probably on a dark screen playing solitare. For movie watching or surfing on powersaver it should be around 3.5-4 hours.

Material wise, its a solid laptop, its really solid plastic, with a metallic keyboard background to prevent things from intruding inside. I find it way better than the quality of my old dell.

Style wise I love it, it has a geometric pattern on the black portion and the lid closed looks like other nv's when closed.

If you still want more review on the laptop, look at the Acer Aspire V3-551-8469 15.6-Inch Laptop. It has 32 reviews, and is from what I find the exact same laptop, just acer branded, and 25$ more. Realize Acer bought Gateway in 2007, and gateway is a branch of it. I looked at the various pics and specs, even the touchpad is positioned like this model.

Honestly if you want a solid sturdy laptop, to play games, watch movies and surf the web this laptop is a wet dream for the price of %420.

Happy shopping :P

I never thought I would like windows 8. the OS was quick to install and somehow found my motherboard drivers and every other driver without needing a disc. very impressive for a custom built gaming rig. sure there is a learning curve, but I am ok with that

This Gateway laptop fits the bill for what I wanted. I was a little worried that the cpu might not be enough but it has run everything fine, including a couple of games.  The video is really pretty good too. I hooked up the laptop to my Toshiba LCD tv thru the hdmi cable and it worked without to much effort. I purchased this at Amazon awhile back for $425. I think it was a good deal!
