two of my usb ports on this laptop broke, literally, the black plastic guard around the teeth just came out...i didn't abuse it or anything, just the make of it was complete shit. I'm sending it in for repairs now, god willing they don't bullshit me and blame me for their shoddy construction of it and attempt to charge me..I've owned and still own several computers/laptops and there has never been a situation like this with any of my usb ports. Anyone else got the same problem with theirs?
@camfitz007 Actually, it did. My computer began restarting, because one of the pins was bent and continued touching one of the others (and began sparking at times, among other things, also,it was bent because i had been using the port, and somehow it had been working, till i wondered why the port wouldn't allow my connector all the way in. secondly, it is not a easy or inexpensive fix, because unless your soldering in a new usb port somehow, you need to replace the motherboard completely.
DO You guys think i should get this as my only computer? I had a nv5214u, but the screen broke. I Do play games, but not really new ones, the newest one i play is tf2 and garry's mod
Thanks for this post! Bought the laptop today and this video gave me an idea on what to expect. Like many, Im computer and technologically challenged and you did a good job at explaining!
This laptop is awesome! I'm going to make somebody mad but I went to get this laptop today at Best Buy for the advertised $599.99 (a good price anyway - compared to a $750 dell I saw with identical specs & components on display there) and to my VERY PLEASANT surprise the guy helping me (with a look of amazement on his face) told me the laptop was ringing up as only $450 because it was being discontinued! Man did I get the deal of a life time! I am elated. Praise God! Hallelujah. Amen. :-)
It was listed online for 600 and it caught my eye, and since I'll be able to get one real soon. Today when I clicked on my bookmark for the product listing, the page didn't exist. I'm wondering if they may still have some left. Do you think so?
I think it all depends on the local store, not the internet listing. When I found my laptop at BestBuy it was indiscretely stashed on the bottom shelf below the netbooks, not on display and was easy to miss. Luckily for me I saw the Gateway "spot" logo and went over to look at it. If I were you I would go to more than one BestBuy (if they are around where you live) and check. One store may have what the other doesn't. Good luck hunting. :-)
2 days ago..I bought the newer NV7915u ( Core i3 processor ) to this NV7802u. for $649.....
today...its $599.. I should have waited a few days to get this laptop then I would've saved $50. Its a GREAT laptop..and its fast too. Screen is HUGE. LOL.
im getting this its awesome for the price .i only wish there was a 15 inch version (with ddr3) .. but this is good for those like me that need something practical until i5, i7 , and usb 3.0 becomes the norm.. be it pc or mac.
Awesome laptop

@xKARASx when your usb ports broke apart did it affect the computer's performance? no. dont complain, thats an easy fix

yeah, ddr3 is NOT 2X faster than DDR2. In fact, it's not even that much faster.

Just for reference, DDR3 is NOT twice as fast as DDR2, everybody.
