Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I bought 3 Gateway notebooks for myself and my family a short while ago, because they all had copious storage space and were well-priced. BIG MISTAKE.They ALL had problems within 2 months.Seriously.
This one, exactly a month in, just died.Had a blue screen, then black screen, then I couldn't get pass the setup screen.I was very carefuly with installing software, and didn't knock or drop the machine.No internal or external stimulus, it didn't occur when I tried to startup, I was in the middle of using it and BLINK!, it just died.I'ver never seen that on a computer.
So I had to send it in, and it takes a month for them to "fix" and then send my laptop back to me, so I'm withouta computer for a month.All my data is erased, even though the problem was hardware (the "SATA pins were loose") and they give no explanation what was wrong with it or what they fixed, none whatsoever.I have to log onto online chat THREE TIMES just to get this info, and they just tell me briefly that the "SATA pins were loose".I asked for documentation but they wouldn't or couldn't give me it.
My laptop doesn't appear to be fully fixed.When I start it, I get an error message saying "media test failure" and saying the cables are loose.When I asked Gateway about this they said "oh, we don't fix the products, we have someone else do it" and then told me to send it back in. Yeah, like I can afford to do without a computer for an entire month again to "fix" a problem that most likely will not be fixed, not to mention have my data erased, as well.
Also, like EVERY one of the Gateway laptops I bought, the lid sticked -- meaning that if you try to adjust it, you have to use 2 hands or else the whole laptop will raise off the surface and will hit the surface when you release it.I specically asked them to fix this and they did not.
Luckily, I backed up the very very important document I was working on or else it would have been an utter disaster.As is, I was deprived of my laptop for a whole month, and still am nervous that this piece of junk will malfunction at a whim.
In terms of performance, it's not bad, a bit slow and the speakers are horrible, but otherwise it's what I expected.But believe me, it's not worth the price.
Avoid this product, and this company, at all costs.
