NV55S05u Gateway Review

That some difficult to identify a replacement laptop for the office is negotiating to see if the parts are worth it. NV55S05u Gateway ($ 579.99 list), a budget laptop 15 inches, get the first crack in the recent merger of AMD APU (codename "Plain"). Although it can outperform a similar offering from Intel, this laptop can tackle almost any task thrown at him, lasted nearly five hours in our battery tests, and is priced to move. Conscious of its procurement budget: This notebook should be on your radar.

Design

Although the laptop is a glossy plastic housing is a design to three years in the shade is bright white and floral decorations are nice enough to offset the cheap materials. But there is no match for the luxury of aluminum cover found in the Lenovo IdeaPad 1066A9U-V570 ($ 629.99 list, 4 stars) Asus U56E-BBL5 ($ 649.99 list, 4 stars). For a desktop replacement is not too bulky NV55S05u, and 5.6 kilos frame is in the same ball park as the 5.5-pound Asus U56E BBL5 and £ 5.6-6013cl HP Pavilion dv6 ($ 649, 99 list, 4.5 stars). If you need a lighter 15-inch system, the Samsung RV520-W01 5.2 kilos this offer.

15.6-inch screen, not because of its very high brightness levels and the baseline in 1366 to 768 are in line with its peers. To experience the final screen, you have to pay a significant premium for the Dell XPS 15z (999 dollars directly, to 4 stars), whose resolution can scale to 1920 by 1080 typing experience is usually launch in this range price, but Gateway did not disappoint here. Chiclet-style keys to increase the ideal height, so that you do not feel your fingers are pounding on a hard surface. Lenovo 1066A9U-V570, however, has a better keyboard, a curvier keys, which takes into account the shape of the fingers. Gateway has added a full-size numeric keypad, as opposed to half-size One-V570 can be found at Lenovo 1066A9U. The mouse buttons are not quite as soft as 1066A9U Lenovo V570-U56E-BBL5 and Asus, but the overall browsing experience NV55S05u expectations.

Feature

The feature set is standard as it gets in this price category. It has three USB 2.0 ports and no eSATA or USB-3.0 technology, transfer speeds faster than USB 2.0. A USB 3.0 port can be found on Asus BBL5-U56E. Lack NV55S05u the latest wireless technologies such as WiMAX and Wireless Display 2 (WiDi 2.0), which can be found in the Lenovo V570 1066A9U-and-U56E BBL5 (although you get free Wi-Fi and Ethernet network connectivity). Like all other desktop replacement, NV55S05u has HDMI and VGA outputs, a webcam and a media card reader. While 640 GB 5400 rpm hard drive is the Samsung and Asus RV520-W01-U56E BBL5, it is impressive as it included a Gateway laptop a lot.

Performance

Llano APU based fusion AMD processors more powerful, however, supported by excellent graphics (with on-chip Radeon 6620G HD) and low (that good battery life). This particular chip has four physical processor cores, compared with two Intel Core i5. It looks impressive to a marketing point of view, but its performance scores are more in line with a dual-core processor Intel Core i3. For example, the i5 dragged equipped NV55S05u 1066A9U Lenovo-V570 (2:00, 2.6), Asus U56E-BBL5 (1:55, 2.6) in the intensive tasks, such as the hand brake (3 minutes 33 seconds ) and R11 Cinebench 0.5 (1.88). It took two minutes to complete the other two scripts Photoshop CS5 (7:48), a multi-test to be funded under the 6 GB of portable memory and multicore processing. In the real world speak, not to see these differences if you edit video or rendering huge 50 photos at once.

In game terms, the A8-3500 in the NV5505u has a significant advantage over a laptop equipped i5. He scored 6038 in 3DMark 06, which is 30% better than the V570 Lenovo 1066A9U (4414) and U56E-BBL5 Asus (4840). The NV55S05u also won the largest part of Crysis (36.7 fps) and Lost Planet 2 (38 fps) and two very demanding 3D games. With all the integrated graphics, however, to get better results by calling the parameters of average quality.

Previously, the AMD-equipped notebooks would always suffer miserably in battery tests than notebooks equipped with Intel, but the story becomes the new AMD APU Llano. NV55S054u scored in 4 hours 54 minutes our battery test, beat-1066A9U Lenovo V570 (4:41) and that are very close to HP 6013cl-dv6 (5.17). When a larger battery, Asus U56E-BBL5 result was a clear winner in 7:34. Yet, such a battery is unheard of AMD components.

Gateway NV5505Su is the kind of money that will make you pause and wonder shortcomings that come with low prices and shares of AMD unknown. Well, I can assure you that AMD Llano ASSISTANCE A8, 3500, is just as capable as the Intel Core i5. The graphical environment is better than Intel, and the battery, the biggest concern of AMD was more than satisfactory. It may not work equally well with hard tasks such as video and photo editing, but its low price reflects these weaknesses. I would still recommend the Asus-U56E BBL5 because of its small fee is involved in a most beautiful design, more power and longer battery life.
