Gateway NV59C Notebook Review

As notebook markets go, the 15.6-inch segment is probably the most hotly contested; manufacturers are forced to look to gaming, multimedia or battery longevity in order to differentiate their wares. Gateway’s NV59C09 upicks HD video as its forte, squeezing in a Blu-ray drive as standard together with easy connectivity for your HDTV. Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Features

Under the hood is an Intel Core i3-330M 2.13GHz processor paired with 4GB of RAM and a 320GB hard-drive. The 15.6-inch display runs at 1,366 x 768 and uses integrated Intel HD graphics, while connectivity includes WiFi b/g/n, three USB 2.0, HDMI, VGA, ethernet, audio in/out and a 5-in-1 memory card reader. There’s also a Blu-ray drive, 1.3-megapixel webcam and integrated microphone, but no Bluetooth (even as an option).

Multimedia is certainly Gateway’s intent with the NV59C09u – the Blu-ray drive and HDMI output are testament to that – but the notebook’s display disappoints. Picture quality is fair, with no noticeable ghosting, good color balance and high brightness when notched all the way up, but the 1,366 x 768 resolution is underwhelming when you consider the rest of the hardware is capable of Full HD. Meanwhile audio performance is loud but lacks definition. Better to plug in your HDTV via HDMI, and enjoy the very quiet Blu-ray drive. The NV59C09u is one of the quieter multimedia notebooks we’ve used, something you’ll appreciate if you’re watching a more subdued film.
