I am a Technical Student at a University and I live on the laptop. It goes where I go and does everything I could ever want it to do. It is a wonderful laptop.
The reason I have a 3 star for the quality is due to the past several months, the screen would glitch and shut off. I have now found after EXTENSIVE testing that it is a memory problem and not a graphics problem that will only cost 70$ to fix.
The only other things that it could be missing is an Optics out for audio and a TV tuner... but for the price it is jam packed with a lot especially the 1Gb dedicated graphics works wonderfully (COD MW2 is beautiful).
I would absolutely recommend this computer to anyone looking to get one. Just not to hold it on the sides and not the center (center is where the memory is stored and pressure can hurt it).
Also, check and see if you can get it for less then 1000.
45 days and its broken

Thing just shuts down when it wants to. Techs at gateway all tried to help but in the end it had to be sent back. Not for replacement but so they could look at it and try to fix it. This will be the LAST gateway I will ever buy.

Runs almost all games smoothly, and comes with a superior build quality to most other PC's in its class. There are a few problems though. The battery placement can be quite annoying, and its a fingerprint magnet. Other than these small problems it a great machine, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a great laptop.
Great for what it is

Got a new job out of state and needed something that would commute well, allow me to play my games on weeknights and do business applications with ease when away from home. Shopped around for many weeks comparing just about everything in the 800 to 1500 range and kept coming back to this one. After hunting down the UPS guy on xmas eve i quickly put in for my 7 upgrade in hopes that it'll be here before I leave town. After that tried to make the backup discs, FAIL! turns out the installed recovery program isn't 64bit compatible, need to download update from gateway after you search for it. Got that done, then updated to SP2 and all required nonsense. Removed bloatware and installed COD WAW as test, flawless on high and LFD2 is like watching an HD movie. This thing looks good, works well, has full size keyboard and num-pad, expandable HD to run RAID or backup drive. What more could you want in a high-end budget gaming-workstation laptop.. a better webcam
Great buy

You better pray that nothing stops working. The videocard went out on my new p-7801u FX. They fixed the videocard but I had to pay for the shipping and while they had it THEY broke the service door on the back and shipped it back to me that way. There was know one in this country (US) that could help me , they wanted me to pay to send it back again.

What Is LabelFlash? The Latest DVD
Laser Labeling Technology!
The Labelflash™ system burns pictures directly into a special layer added to
the non-data, or label, side of a DVD disc and eliminates the need for
special printers, and consumables such as ink.
High quality images on the disc label side:
Labelflash utilizes the existing recording laser in DVD-writers to burn high
contrast and high resolution images by changing the blue dye color to
colorless. Optimal image data processing is carried out in accordance with
the burning time, and pictures of high-resolution and high contrast can be
burned. Labelflash utilizes a newly developed, pick up and rotation
control, and high-speed signal processing system of image data. The special
Labelflash disc structure realizes the optimal focusing setting. Stable
burning of pictures can be completed in as little as 5 minutes.
Long-lasting, titles and pictures:
The picture-burning layer is located 0.6mm deep into the media and protected
by a polycarbonate layer. Images last longer since they cannot be touched
directly.
Labelflash disc features:
High-quality images can be burned on the
entire labeling surface.
With a Labelflash-compliant DVD drive,
you can burn a high contrast and resolution image by changing the blue dye
color to colorless and shading it using the same laser used for data
recording.
The dye used has high durability and
light-resistance, making it ideal for long-term storage.
Unrivaled compatibility with the drive:
The writing laser utilizes our independently developed “OXOLIFE” dye
coating.
Labelflash DVD discs utilize both photo
and organic synthesis technology thorough our independently developed
organic dye, “OXOLIFE.” This unique dye offers superb temperature/moisture
protection and light-resistance, making it ideal for highly-sensitive,
high-precision writing and long-term storage.
What is ExpressCard™ technology? ExpressCard technology is the name
of a new standard introduced by PCMCIA in spring 2003. The ExpressCard
standard delivers thinner, faster and lighter modular expansion to desktop
and notebook computer users. Consumers can add hardware capabilities such as
memory, wired and wireless communications cards and security devices by
simply inserting these modules into their systems. All ExpressCard slots
accommodate modules designed to use either Universal Serial Bus (USB*) 2.0,
or the emerging PCI*Express standards.
What Is
FireWire?
FireWire (also known as the IEEE 1394 interface) is a serial bus interface
standard, for high-speed communications and isochronous real-time data
transfer, used on PCs & MACs , with storage devices, and with digital audio
and digital video devices. The interface is also known by the brand names of
FireWire (Apple's name) and i.LINK (Sony's name).
FireWire has replaced SCSI in many applications, due to lower costs and a
simplified, more adaptable cabling system. IEEE 1394 has been adopted as the
High Definition Audio-Video Network Alliance (HANA) standard connection
interface for A/V (audio/visual) component communication and control.
FireWire is also available in wireless, fiber optic, and coaxial versions.
Almost all modern digital camcorders have included this connection since
1995, as do the vast majority of high end professional audio interfaces.
Since 2003 many computers intended for home or professional audio/video use
have built-in FireWire/i.LINK ports, even some iPods. It is also available
on many motherboards. FireWire has also become a dominant local
storage interface, for use with external storage devices, such as external
hard drives..
How Compatible Is HDMI?
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs, displays and consumer
electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
standard. Both HDMI and DVI were pioneered by Silicon Image and are based on
TMDS®, Silicon Image's powerful, high-speed, serial link technology. HDMI
supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel
digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and
supports 8-channel digital audio, and with 5 Gbps of bandwidth, HDMI can
accommodate future enhancements and requirements. Because HDMI was designed
specifically for consumer electronics applications, it offers an array of
additional consumer enhancements. As digital content can manifest itself in
a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, HDMI-enabled systems will
automatically configure to display content in the most effective format. In
addition, if implemented in a specific device, HDMI enables a single remote
point and click, allowing manufacturers to deliver home theater systems that
automatically configure from a single command from a remote control --
turning on or off the components necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD, or
watch cable or satellite TV.
What is the difference between HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.3a, or 1.3b?
For consumers, there is no difference between HDMI version 1.3 and 1.3a or
1.3b. These minor revisions to the specification typically relate to
manufacturing or testing issues and do not impact features or functionality
in a specific product. In addition, HDMI Licensing, LLC is actively working
with manufacturers to reduce confusion for consumers by de-emphasizing
version numbers and focusing instead on product features and functionality.
How can I identify which HDMI products
support a specific feature, such as DVD Audio or Deep Color?
The key for consumers to remember is that HDMI has consistently enabled a
variety of the most innovative new technologies (whether they are DVD Audio,
SACD, 1080p/60, etc.). However, in many cases, it is up to each manufacturer
to choose which features to implement in any given product. The manufacturer
can choose the mix of features that makes sense for its customers and
products. So, customers must choose devices that have the features that they
want (instead of focusing on which version of HDMI is implemented by the
device.). Consumers interested in confirming whether a particular consumer
electronics product supports DVD-Audio or any other feature over HDMI are
urged to review users’ manuals and product reviews, or check with
manufacturers directly.
What Is Firmware Upgradeable?
Many of today's electronics product are designed for today's standards.
Yet like personal computers, they have advanced capabilities that will let
them be upgraded for use with new technologies and standards. The
ability to upgrade the firmware of an electronics product allows you to
extend the useful lifespan of the device you purchase, and be able to expect
support for many (if not all) of the emerging new standards.
What is the difference between Active HDMI and Passive HDMI?
There is no active or passive HDMI in the HDMI specification. These terms
apply to cables. Active cables have built-in electronics to enable long
cable runs, and typically these cables require a power supply. These cables
use active electronics to help push the signal farther than typical passive
cables.
HDMI™ is the trademark of HDMI Licensing, LLC.
What Is A Cell? It's a
battery
Though technically a battery has multiple cells, we are accustomed to calling a
single energy cell a battery as well.
In
electronics, a battery or voltaic cell is a combination of many electrochemical
Galvanic cells of identical type to store chemical energy and to deliver it in
the form of electricity. The battery cells combine to produce more energy
(voltage or amps) than a cell by itself. When joined in this way, it is a
battery of cells. Almost all portable electronics use one or more cells -
rechargeable or disposable. The more cells, the more energy available -
meaning more hours of use usually.
In Notebook computers, the battery case usually
holds three or more cells. 3 Cell batteries tend to provide about 1-3
hours of use, depending on the energy needs of the Laptop. 6 cell (or
more) batteries provide much more energy, and many more hours of use. This
can be good or bad! More cells mean longer use, but more weight too!
So remember to always check for the number of
cells if specified, and choose the right configuration for your use.
Battery Trivia:
The invention of the first battery (known as a Voltaic pile) was in 1800 by
Alessandro Volta! The first known usage of the battery (as we know it
today) was in 1863 by the physician named Flora Bills.

What Is USB 2.0?
USB 1.1 was great when it was introduced almost a decade ago. But
the newer USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times
quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and
storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your
advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with
USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB
configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port, though some newer
devices are specifically designed for USB 2.0. It is always a good
idea to verify the version of USB supported by each device you want to use.
