@the3jake2 can you answer a question for me, is this laptop able to take and addon video card, cuz i have it right now and the video card sucks for gaming
@annihilatorVS1 actually no. this video was more than a year ago. Gateway doesn't even sell these outdated specs on this model... anyways this laptop would still sell for higher than 350$ new. I would buy it for 350 lol
May i ask you a question? Does the webcam come with a built in light too? I bought this laptop to my mom, but unfortunately she did not like the quality of the webcam, it was dark at the edge, so do you have the same problem? Do you know if there is a way that we can change the setting to make it look better?
@minamadi you can change the quality but once you go past 1280x800 it wont let you take video but you can still take pics. i dont really use the webcam that much so im sorry i cant really help you with your problem.
does anyone know how to disable the BLUE LED POWER BUTTON LIGHT??? plz help coz it's really annoying having to watch movies in the dark and have the blue light glaring at you! My old gateway laptop had a shortcut (Fn+F1) that disabled it... no idea what it is on this one.
hello i want to thank you for upload the video and ask a question: Does the DVD burner is dual layer? and also if you can mention some flaws please, I thank you too, bye
Hello. Thank you for this review. I wanna ask you about the quality of the webcam; is it any good? (Im thinking of getting this laptop, but Im worried about webcam quality as I will be primarily using it for video conferencing). Also now that you have been using it for several months, are you encountering any problems with this laptop? Will you still highly recommend it after having used it for sometime now? Hoping for your feedback and quick reply. Thank you again for your time.
@xameron7 the webcam quality is alittle grainy and dark but you could always buy a HD webcam for like $70-$100.
Also i will be making a "after thoughts" so to call it review in the upcoming week. my adivce for you is go to bestbuy or where ever else this laptop is in stock and test it out and the webcam.
i got a refurbished one of these babies a few weeks ago, and i LOVE it! the only artifacts of refurbishment are some small scratches on the inner black plastic parts, and some [what looks to be a little peeling] of the reflective layer under the little bar between the keyboard and speaker grille.
the i3 and 4 GB DDR3 chew through anything [minus heavy games, of course].
I'm already using this unit for professional music recording/ composing and school, and it simply works great!
I got the same model yesterday at BB for $499 and its identical to yours in every way except it doesn't have a blu ray player. I guess there are different variations of the NV59C. Great review.
@the3jake2 *****UPDATE***** 1st one the l.e.d. screen was defective, and on the 2nd one the processor stopped working. Wasn't going for a 3rd so i jumped into a similar HP and haven't looked back. Funny thing is that 3 days ago Best Buy stopped selling the gateway NV59C63U all together after only 3 weeks so i guess other people shared the same problem.
Love the finger print thing. They say on the gateway site that it is not supposed to show them but it is nice to hear it from a user. I want to buy one of these online but it is hard not holding it in my hands first.
Thanks for the review. I am thinking about purchasing it for my parents. I am wondering about its speed in specific situations…the two most important being
1) How fast is it when playing facebook games…such as cafeworld. I dont care what anyone says….all 700 dollar laptops are not the same and their is a significant difference.
2) Can it run adobe photoshop elements. Obviosuly I know it can, but is it practical.
@boodiums yes it can run adobe photoshop elements pretty fast and i dont know about facebook games because i really dont play games on facebook but i play games on addictinggames and its really fast at that.
exelente carnal yo tambien tengo una gateway y estan chingonas
