Gateway Review NV55S05u

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.

The 15.6-inch screen does not really stand out, as the brightness level of 1366 and reference 768 are compatible with their peers. For the ultimate experience of the screen, you have to pay a significant premium for the Dell XPS 15z ($ 999 direct, 4 stars), whose resolution can be adjusted to 1920 by 1080. The typing experience is usually a toss in this price range, but Gateway did not disappoint here. Chiclet-style keys are raised to an ideal height so you do not feel the fingers are tapping on a hard surface. The V570-1066A9U Lenovo, however, it is best keys keyboard with more curves that takes into account the shape of the fingers. Gateway digital camera added a full-size keyboard, as opposed to mid-sized 1066A9U Lenovo V570. The mouse buttons are not as flexible as those of V570-1066A9U Lenovo and Asus U56E-BBL5, but the overall experience of surfing NV55S05u expectations.

Features

The set of standard features as it gets in this price range. It has three USB 2.0 ports, eSATA and USB 3.0 technology or that have higher speed USB 2.0 transfer. A USB 3.0 port can be found on the Asus BBL5-U56E. The lack NV55S05u the latest wireless technologies like WiMAX and wireless display 2 (WIDI 2.0), which can be found on the Lenovo V570-and-U56E 1066A9U BBL5 (although you do get Wi-Fi and Ethernet for network connectivity) . Since each desktop replacement, the NV55S05u has HDMI and VGA, a webcam and a media card reader. Despite its 640 GB 5400 rpm hard drive matches that of Samsung and Asus RV520-W01-U56E BBL5 is impressive that Gateway has included in this great laptop less.

Performance

APU Llano fusion are based on AMD processors yet powerful, enhanced by excellent graphics (which is on-die Radeon 6620G), and low power consumption (in my opinion, a good battery life). This particular chip has four physical processing cores, compared to two Intel Core i5. It looks impressive from a marketing point of view, but its results are more performance dual-core Intel Core i3. For example, i5 NV55S05u drawn with Lenovo 1066A9U-V570 (2:00, 2.6) and Asus-U56E BBL5 (1:55, 2.6) processor-intensive tasks such as hand brake (3 minutes 33 seconds) and Cinebench R11 0.5 (1.88). It took me two minutes to the end of the other two scripts Photoshop CS5 (7:48), multi-threaded test, which should have been triggered by 6Gb laptop memory and multicore processing. In the real world to talk, you do not notice these differences unless you change a huge video files, or do the 50 images at a time.

As for games, the A8-3500 NV5505u they have a significant advantage over a i5-equipped laptop. He scored 6038 in 3DMark 06, which is 30% better than the V570 Lenovo 1066A9U-(4414) and Asus U56E-BBL5 (4840). The NV55S05u also garnered the highest frame in Crysis (36.7 fps) and Lost Planet 2 (38 fps)-two very demanding 3D games. With integrated graphics, but you get better results by calling the parameters for an average quality.

In the past, AMD laptops still suffer miserably in battery tests compared with laptops equipped with Intel, but the story changes with the new AMD APU Llano. The NV55S054u scored 4:54 minutes in our battery test, which survive the Lenovo 1066A9U-V570 (4:41) and arrive at a short distance of the HP dv6-6013cl (5:17). With a bigger battery, the Asus BBL5-U56E was the winner with a score of 7:34. However, this type of battery life is unprecedented for the components of AMD.

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.
