The Gateway NV55C38u Review

June 6, 2011 - PRLog -- Powered by new Intel Core 2nd generation a new wave of more powerful yet energy-efficient laptops are emerging. The Gateway NV55C38u is one of them, featuring an Intel Pentium P6200 processor and other high end components.

Designed for both artistic form as well as fingerprint proof function the Gateway NV55C38u features a wave texture pattern on its lid that keeps the smudges away while making the laptop look good. The increased tactile feel of the wave pattern makes the laptop easier to grip too. The laptop uses a special moulding method for its more streamlined look that keeps the laptop looking as thin and stylish as it is compact. Despite the standard 15.6-inch sized screen the laptop weighs a bit less than the standard laptop of the same class.

Featuring a more affordable price point the Gateway NV55C38u surprisingly manages to fit in an Intel Pentium P6200 processor, which is faster than the average P6100 processor you tend to see in laptops of this class. With 4GB of memory and the integrated Intel GMA HD graphics you can expect faster performance with better graphics. This means the laptop can handle HD video, office applications and even some light gaming. Utilising a 6-cell battery the Gateway NV55C38u offers more than four hours of battery life unplugged, more than enough time to watch two HD movies, do a presentation, answer several emails, finish off some work or have an afternoon of gaming. The built-in speakers are good enough that you don't have to lug around a pair of external speakers and if you want to keep it private you can always hook up a pair of headphones. The 1.3 megapixel webcam is quite responsive and lets you do a variety of things including video calls or face to face time with your loved ones.

Overall the Gateway NV55C38u is a 15.6-inch laptop that stands above the rest, even among the new wave of better and more powerful laptops of the same class. Combining a better and faster processor with great components and a compact yet artistic wave design the laptop makes the perfect travel companion for those who need a bit more bang for their buck than the average user. Even those looking for a performance desktop replacement unit won't find it wanting, as it easily delivers on all fronts.
