alright, so I was looking for a new laptop for college, and I just happen to come across this Yahoo! article about great laptops for around $500. One in the lineup was the Gateway NV5929u. Once I saw the name "Gateway" I was immediately turned off. However, I kept reading about it and the article said this laptop was one of the most powerful in the lineup. Another good thing about it is that this laptop was MISLABELED from the factory when A LOT of them shipped. The price of this laptop: $599.99 on NewEgg. When they shipped, they were labeled as the Gateway 5927u, which is a slower, less powerful model. The result? A good laptop for the cheaper price

Specs (only complaint I have is the GPU, but this laptop has good reviews, and the price range my mom would pay for was like $650 MAX)



It's also got 4 USB 2.0 ports, 1 VGA out, 1 HDMI out, headphone and microphone ports, 5-in-1 card reader, and a webcam. So I think it's a pretty good buy, and she already ordered it today. should be here monday

Any reports on how it runs games?

Haven't found any actual customer reviews on gaming yet, but Circuit City's description includes "Play demanding computer games." Still looking atm.

Nice :D

looking nice, for gaming i think it's ok, the nice thing is the intel hd graphics accelerator, what's used in alot of macs because of de hd-tech in it so if the laptop has the turbo boost to 2,53 GHz, i think gaming will be very nice 4 a laptop with that price.

If i was you i would go with a i3 or i5 they are currently the same price

if price is the same, i agree

it is an i5, lol.

and this is mostly gonna be used for school, but I'm gonna see if it can handle BC2, because I REALLY wanna play it

I hope the graphics will work. That is the only thing that worries me.

My friend i work with recently got a nice new laptop for $1100, specs:
Gateway (w/free 3 YR warranty)
Core i7M
500GB HDD
8GB DDR3 RAM
ATI Radeon 5850
Wireless N
Win 7 Home Premium 64 bit

Atleast now, you should be able to run hl2dm flawlessly..lol..
I doubt you'll be able to run BC2

It's a good one, i like the spec.

like I said, it was for school, not gaming, so if it doesn't play BC2, oh well i'll just wait to build a gaming desktop. lol

Ok it came in

This i5 model is a dual-core, not quad, but it's still very good for the price.

Yes it is, you're right

All LAPTOP i5s are dual core
All DESKTOP i5 are duals except for the i5-750
