Great laptop!
I purchased the 8GB laptop for my kids to do schoolwork and testing plus my husband and I watch movies and edit photos. So far everything has been working completely fine and we haven't had any problems. The battery life is actually really good as well. I would recommend this laptop. Its got a great price for the amount of stuff you can do on it.

THX is definitely not a good sound system
THX is supposed to be the new state of the art sound for these new computers. But even when I have the volume maxed out i can hear my husband's phone better even when he's in a completely different room. i was so excited about getting this laptop and now I'm just extremely disappointed. I'm still debating if I should return it.

    Great laptop, with some tradeoffs
    You're not going to find many laptops with four cores, 8 GB RAM, 256GB hard drive, and a 1080P screen for $349. That being said, there are a few trade-offs. The keyboard is not as smooth as an HP keyboard, and the right-shift key is half the size that it should be. On the HP keyboards, the up and down arrows are half-sized keys that fit in the same space. On this keyboard, the up arrow is next to the right-shift key, so they reduced the size of the right shift key. It's a bit annoying, but I've gotten used to it. In general, the keyboard is not as smooth to type on as an HP keyboard, but it's still a decent keyboard. The touchpad is not quite as sensitive as an HP touchpad. It's another small annoyance, but I'm also getting used to it. The laptop boots up very quickly, as one would expect from an SSD. The screen is a good size, the text is crisp and clear (I use the recommended settings 1920x1080, with 125% scaling), and the colors are bright. The THX sound is good, but not very loud (but at least you won't have to worry about blowing out the speakers). A good headset is going to sound better. I've run a few games on it, and the graphics are very good, especially for a non-gaming laptop. It can get hot. If you're going to be running games, you might want to put a chill pad underneath. I'd recommend that for any laptop. I've also installed Visual Studio, VS Code, SQL Server, SQL Server Management Tools, and Docker. Everything starts up quickly and compiles quickly. Bottom line - you're not going to find another laptop with these specs in this price range. Laptops with these specs typically run $500-$800. If you're willing to live with a few minor annoyances, it's a great laptop.

    Very disappointed
    The keyboard does not work. When you type in certain letters then two letters or symbols appear (ex. type a then .a appears). Discovered after initial set up after all account info was entered. Not returning it because hackers can still retrieve information. Been scammed too many times. Tried to contact Gateway, getting no response or help.

    Mostly great
    Specs on this computer are fantastic for the price. It's snappy, and from a performance perspective, I'm very pleased. Screen is better than I expected. Build quality of the laptop, keyboard, and track pad feel a little cheap, but I suppose there had to be a trade off to hit this price point. The webcam is not great. All things considered, I expected this from the reviews, and if this trade-off is acceptable for you, this is a great laptop with amazing value for what's under the hood.

    Battery life is terrible
    I can't get the battery to stay charged. Or charge at all. I have to use it plugged in to use it at all.

    Great budget laptop
    I've always purchased budget laptop's and I have to say that in the short time using this one I believe it's the best one I've had. It's fast and light, this is my first laptop with an SSD so I'm sure that has a lot to do with it. I don't like reviewing items like this until I've used it for a significant length of time but in the short time using this I'm very impressed.

    Functional but cheap.
    The machine is about what I expected for the money. A lower end usable laptop for basic home use. The TouchPad is pretty much useless because the edges stick horribly when pressed right out of the box. I use an external mouse so it doesn't affect me that much and I don't feel like going through the hassle of warranty work or returns. Speed and graphics are ok. Sound is ok. It's Windows 10 Home, It'll work.
