Gateway NV7915u - A Solid Performer
It's hard to beat the value of the Gateway NV7915u. Not only does it include a 17.3-inch display -- a rarity among sub-$800 notebooks -- but it also offers a 1,600-by-900-pixel display (most budget laptops have 1,366-by-768-pixel displays).
Reviewers are also impressed by the other components, including an Intel Core i3 processor, 4 GB of memory and a 500 GB hard drive (you'll only get 320 GB or less on most cheap notebooks). Four USB ports and an integrated optical drive are also standard. Experts say the Gateway NV7915u laptop is an excellent value and a solid performer.
