Gateway Creator Series 15.6" FHD Performance Notebook, AMD Ryzen 5 4600H, NVIDIA 1650 GTX, 8GB RAM, 256GB SSD, Xbox Game Pass for PC, HD Webcam, Cortana, Windows 10 Home

I absolutely love this laptop. It is great for doing work. It is perfect size and has a very sleek design. I love the fact that it has the number keys on the right hand side like a normal keyboard. I dont see very many laptops with that. The computer its self is pretty fast and the graphics are nice and crisp. Setup was a breeze! I was able to use voice commands and set it up within 5 minutes. You can get an Xbox game pass for $1 which is pretty cool as well and worth the money. Overally it is a very nice laptop and I would recommend 100%

This laptop is sleek, lightweight, and easy to set up right out of the box as it guides you through the set up right when you turn it on the first time. It does not come with a cd or manual,, but it does provide a website and phone number contact. I love that it looks very clean, the display has a very thin black outline and the resolution is super sharp. The keys have a very soft touch. One cool feature is that the keyboard has backlighting that can be set to any color you like or it can just go through colors automatically. You can adjust the amount of the backlight or turn it off. I love this feature. Sets it apart from all other laptops I've owned. Computing speed is good, but i don't have much on it yet, so we'll see about that. It is very quiet, unlike my other laptop that you can hear the hard drive and fan spinning at times. The only critique I have is that I work from home and do a lot of number entry by touch. The keyboard has the 0 right under the 2, so I am not able to do 10 key by touch with it, but I use a wireless desktop keyboard, so that is not an issue for me, but thought I'd mention it in case it's important to you. So over all I love it and would absolutely recommend it to anyone.

I grew up using gateway computers so to see them back makes me happy. This gateway laptop came very well packaged and secure. It was very easy to set up and begin use. It has cortana which is a voice activate service that you can speak to the computer or it can speak to you. The screen is the perfect size and the keyboard lights up. That is very helpful for when you using it in not the best lighting. It has plenty of hdmi and USB ports that there is no issue. It is very lightweight so holding it or carrying it for long periods of tine is not a problem! Overall I love this laptop and glad to see gateway back!

This is a great notebook. It is very easy to set up. You can use your voice to set it up. You can set it up for games. This is great for gamers. The sound is awesome to hear everything. It works well with. The internet we have. No lagging at all. It also comes with windows 10. It's great for office work or school work and great for just personal use. A gateway was my first computer. And this one will not disappoint.

The intended purpose of this laptop is a gift for my college student because the one here got for high school graduation is just too slow and he's always borrowing mine. Of course we got it out and set everything up. I guess I didn't notice the backlit keyboard in the description. It's BLUE! I LOVE IT! It took less than 5 minutes to set up and it's lightning fast. Plus it comes with an Xbox Game Pass subscription. Bonus for my gamer. I want to keep it for myself, but I know my son is going to absolutely love this.

The Gateway Creator Series 15.6" Performance Notebook is awesome! There are so many cool things about it. I am a gamer and I immediately installed Steam and downloaded my most played games. My games run with no issues and I can even host local when playing with other gamers online (Left 4 Dead 2, Team Fortress 2, Portal 2, etc). The fully customizable keyboard works really well - I have it set to continue changing through the colors. I enjoy gaming at night after the kids go to bed and it makes it so much easier to find the keys when playing. I LOVE that the power cord insert is located in the back of the laptop as previous experience, especially with children, means a snapped off power cord from the side. My husband still can't wait to get his hands on this laptop so he can play Rainbow Six Siege because of the gaming specs. The video card in this laptop is better than any other computer in our house! - considering we have 2 fully customized gaming pcs, and several laptops, that is amazing. The quality of the video is so clear and I can play on highest settings depending on the game. One oddity I found was that the web cam is located on the bottom of the screen instead of the top so it took some getting used to for video-conferencing but no big deal. The sound quality is also great. The volume adjustment is perfect. On my old laptop, the highest possible setting, it was hard to hear anything with the slightest noise in the background. Again, not the case here. I've adjusted it several times when streaming videos, gaming or working and had no problems. I also love how secure this laptop feels. I'm used to a plasticky-feel and this thing is nothing like that. It is sturdy and I feel comfortable transporting it from room to room without concern. Given the price on this, I would definitely recommend to any gamer looking to buy a new one. I promise you'll love the video quality!

this laptop is great with only a few minor things for improvement the ryzen 5 works great in here with both the 1650 on game mode or the vega 8 on office mode neither one run the fans too loud i have tested this on many games in the med to high settings destiny 2/warframe/csgo/ fortnite etc and all run between 60fps to 150+fps the game pass is free for 3 months then $5 a month after i already owned so not a big deal its has a nvme 256gb hard drive with expansion for 1 more i added a 1tb one off newegg the only minor issue is it has 1 8gb stick of ddr4 3200 memory i added another 8gb ddr4 3200 so it runs in dual channel and it makes a huge difference especially with ryzen quick $30 upgrade and now runs even better then it did this can easily replace any desktop except a high end gaming pc for every day use only 1 weird thing is camera is on bottom of bezel camera does work great just seems a little weird in placement very easy to get into for upgrades only 1 sticker has to be broken for 1 screw other 7 are right there free memory slot and free nvme2 slot makes this a great laptop screen is crystal clear and colors are spot on speakers sound great best ones ive had in at least 10 years on any laptop keyboard feels nice and a lot of changeable rbg or you can take off if you like has the game/office button right next to power so easily change modes NO BLOATWARE only added are the gateway control center for lights/modes etc and 6 months of nortons NO bloatware at all another thing this actually has a power brick something most laptops do not have any more battery life is about 7 to 8 hours on office mode and 3 to 5 on gaming mode on full high destiny 2 game mode i got little under 5 hours on Netflix streaming non stop for almost 6 hours so battery life is good for a dedicated graphic card laptop i have a msi gaming laptop with i i7 and gtx 1650 in it and this laptop runs better and benchmarks better then that by far also sounds better and plays much smoother then the msi one BUY THIS YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED

Had this laptop for three months and so far it's been a great experience for the $599 price I had ordered at. *PERFORMANCE 10/10: This laptop uses the same TongFang Chassis many Clevo and XMP laptops use, so cooling for these lower powered parts are some of the best I've seen. GPU stays below 66c and the cpu below 75c with the normal cooling profile. GPU is the best GDDR6 variant, can handle a 200mhz core and 600 mhz mem OC. This easily matching desktop 1650 performance; however, there is a hard 50w lock which cannot be change even with vbios. The 4600h by default uses locked 45w profile which can be changed with Ryzen controller. Ive found 50-55w's to be the sweet-spot if you want 4ghz across all cores. The screen is also impressive, using CRU allowed my unit to OC all the way to 155HZ! I've found this screen also supports a freesnyc range between 48-120hz. *Build quality 8/10: All hard plastic, but this laptop feels very solid. Minimum screen flexing, keyboard area does not bow in with hard presses, solid screen hinge, ok speakers, good keyboard for typing on but feels cheap, track-pad feels more premium than the keyboard. *Upgradability 6/10: Ships with a 8gb 3200mhz cl22 stick accompanied by a free ram slot, only 2 nvme/m2 slots for storage no sata drives :(, battery can be upgraded to a 72whr unit, intel wifi 6 card can also be upgraded or changed. Pretty average stuff. *Office use 6/10. It's a decent sized laptop so you'd expect better battery life; however, without the upbattery grade you're looking at 4 hours max and that's with the proper drivers and power profile, out of box this laptop is dead within 3 hours streaming youtube. The screen isn't the brightest (290nit) so in the sun it's harder to see, but color is pretty vivid otherwise. The keyboard is pretty nice to type on and the trackpad is one of the best I've used. The speakers don't get very loud nor have the best sound quality when it comes to base but are pretty clear for spoken word. The ssd flys through windows and booting but 256gb does get eaten fairly quickly if you are a gamer. Multitasking is very good, but 8gb is really cutting it so I do suggest getting another 8gb stick if you plan on being a heavy user. The webcam has terrible under-screen placement but it's 720p 30fps so not too bad, the mic is usable but has zero noise compression so the fan and keyboard are picked up. The fan noise isn't bad since the parts stay cool, but they can get very loud and annoying if you ramp them up and the keyboard is rgb (one zone), the keys aren't very bright though. The laptop looks sleek no obnoxious gamer appeal, it's something you can bring into an office once the battery is upgraded. For a gamer or a content creator this is a solid 9/10 laptop at it's $599 price, if you need something for school or for the office this isn't bad by any means but there are better choices out there.

I bought this on sale for around $500. My feedback is as follows: - The screen is crisp and detailed. Not overly bright but perfectly suitable in anything but direct daylight. The contrast is slightly washed out but the colours are vibrant and pleasing. For watching films, playing games and office work is more than suitable. You will need an external monitor if you want to do any accurate color editing. - The GTX 1650 is perfectly suitable for playing any current title today at decent framerates. If you want to future proof, go for the gtx 2060 model. - The 8 gb RAM is upgradeable and should be done when possible. It gets topped out under current day games. - You can add storage, if needed by adding another drive (do it at the same time as the RAM if you are upgrading the RAM). - Keyboard is perfectly suitable. - Build quality is perfectly acceptable at this price point. Overall impressions are the gateway performance is an absolute steal if you can get it on sale.

This notebook has a lot of great features. The audio (it also has thx) is very clear and the graphics are amazing. This laptop has two modes, Office and Gaming and allows for a seamless switch at the touch of a button. The keyboard is backlit and there are tons of different colors to select, you can also set it to continuously change colors. There are vents on all four sides for better air flow and you have the option of increasing the fan speed. This notebook is lightweight and thin so it can easily travel. I have had a movie streaming while running a first person shooter without a drop in the frame rate. I have also been able to multi task by being in a virtual meeting while emailing and searching the web with no issues. The battery fully charged shows a run time of 5 hours. This notebook is a great multipurpose tool and entertainment device all in one. The downside for me was that this laptop does not have a disk drive.
