I love this computer. The keyboard buttons are large which is great. I use it for work (I am a writer/illustrator) and I love the gaming aspects. It has a great battery life. The graphics are great. The setup was super easy. It has extra ports which is helpful. The fan noise is low but I use a headset so no worries. This is a great computer. This is perfect for all of my gaming And work needs!

Gateway has done it again. The creator series has exceptional graphics and sound for the optimum gaming or video experience. The set up was a breeze and was up and running with in minutes. The notebook screen is the perfect size for watching a movie or playing your favorite video game. There was no lagging on games which is always a plus for a gamer.

All I can say is WOW! I am not an easy person to impress however I have to admit that I am impressed. The Gateway Creators Series performance notebook is a dynamo! Easy setup, Solidly constructed, yet light and compact, Boots in under 15 seconds, Decent battery life, Highly responsive to keyboard and mouse input, Crisp sound and graphics, 8 GB RAM fast, Backbit keyboard, WiFi, Bluetooth, HDMI, Intel i5 rocks. I mean, what is not to like about this machine? Handled all of my productivity applications and working set of 20 or so always open browser tabs with ease and power to spare. All in all, a very nice computer.

At first I wasn't considering purchasing this “gaming laptop” from Gateway, but after seeing it had an RTX 2060 and the price was $699 I'd was instantly sold and still got a 10% off as an employee discount. This particular gaming laptop from Walmart should be consider a “Great Value” product, because compared to well known brands and specifications are over $1100 and offers similar value at a cheaper price. Bought it because I needed something that didn't take allot of space and was portable too, but powerful and could be easily upgradable in the future by adding another ram stick or more storage is a plus, which explains the low price for it. At first I didn't noticed much difference in the “THX” audio, but after plugging in my earphones the sound was incredibly noticeable which I really liked. The games I have played so far at max settings and getting above 60fps are Total War: Shogun 2, Warhammer 2, Empire and Rome 2, battlefield 3-4 and Company of Heroes 1-2 so far, but optimized games should do allot better and the fan noise is acceptable and can be changed from low to high while gaming too. The only thing that could be better is the battery, mainly because while playing games unplugged you can get like 1-2 hours, but if you do simple stuff battery life is around 3-4 hours. Overall, the case is metal and feels premium, and doesn't feel hot on the keyboard while playing games while charging, but if you don't wanna spend allot of money and need something powerful and don't care much about looks than you found the right “gaming laptop” lol.

i bought this laptop on a black friday/cyber monday deal for $699 (w/o tax) and it's the best spec for the price out there!!! i still don't know how to change the color on the keyboard tho.

So I originally bought the asusrog i7 with rtx2070. That was to much pc. I use it for gaming and cad design Mastercam. This computer when I got it was on sale hands down best laptop for price. Runs smooth. Has some bloatware. Comes with Norton which I recommend over other mainstream antivirus software. Runs cool though recommend getting a laptop fan. Battery life is very short when gaming and using gpu and taxing the cpu. Not sure how it will hold up after a year of use. Yes the memory is small but honestly having a bunch of games or programs on your computer is that really necessary? Do you play or use them on a daily basis? Easy to upgrade though. Very thankful to be able to get this at decent price havent purchased a computer in probably 10 years.

I don't normally write reviews, but I have some important information for the skeptical buyers itching to press the purchase button. I got this computer for the $799 tag, which is totally worth it. Anyways.. Here's a to-do list you're going to want to do if you get this computer: 1. Buy another stick of RAM (8GB SO-DIMM DDR4 Crucial 3200MHz CL22) for $48. Be warned. The screws on the underside of the laptop are very tight, so be careful not to strip them. 2. My laptop did not come with the Gateway Control center to be able to adjust RGB backlighting and fan curves, so if you have that issue go to Eluktronic's website and download their control center for the RP-15 model because it's the same TongFang chassis. Note: I would suggest you keep the computer's fan curve on Eco mode and quiet mode. You can set a custom fan curve as well because the fans get very loud if you set it to any other mode. Gaming mode and turbo mode is completely unnecessary. 3. Disable Nvidia hybrid GPU in the BIOS. The bios can be reached by tapping the DEL key when you turn on the laptop. Change it to dGPU only. 4. This part gets a little technical, but bear with me. I recommend undervolting the CPU if you're going to be gaming because my temperatures reached 88C under load. Note however, 88C is normal for a gaming laptop, but I don't like seeing that. You can undervolt the CPU in the BIOS up to -50mv. However, I would suggest using Throttlestop. It is a free program you can get from TechPowerUp that can adjust more than just voltages. You can control the turbo boost frequencies as well. You can look up guides on how to use it or just copy my settings, because I am now getting 70C under load without sacrificing any performance. 18C is a massive reduction which would promote the longevity of your laptop. Note: Undervolting does NOT harm your CPU. My Throttlestop Settings: 1. Tick the Speed Shift - EPP box and set it to 128. 2. Click FIVR and you will see a kind of intimidating menu, but I got you. On the bottom Left, you will see turbo ratio limits. Tick 1 Core to 40, 2 Cores to 38, 3 Cores to 36, and 4 cores to 34. Effectively what we just did was reduce the CPU's max frequency turbo from 4.5 GHz to 4.0 GHz. If all cores are being utilized, then it will max out at 3.4GHz. As far as I know, gaming does not require more than 3.6GHz, but if you're rendering videos you don't have to do this. NEXT, On the top middle you will see "FIVR Control", Tick the CPU Core bubble and in the middle, adjust the "Offset Voltage" to -70mv. Tick the CPU Cache bubble, and do the same thing to the offset voltage. On the bottom right, tick "OK - Save voltages immediately". Hit apply, Ok and you're all set. When you shut down the computer, you will have to start up the program again when you turn it back on. The settings will be saved though. See image for a visual guide :) Likes: Sturdy metal construction, excellent ventilation and exhaust, high refresh rate. Dislikes: None yet.

The Gateway laptop is a very descent gaming laptop. It is manufactured by EVOO and not Acer (owner of the Gateway brand). The keyboard feels very comfortable with descent backlights that can be customized in the Gateway Control Center app. Gaming on it yields very high results, as should be expected with the 2060. with a nice bright monitor. With that said the 2060 is only a 6GB graphics card and not an 8GB one as described. The laptop also does not have Windows Hello. Additionally, the webcam on the PC is rather high up on the monitor meaning that you either need to have the laptop at face height when using it or you need to tilt the monitor back a good amount to be on camera for any virutal meetings or streaming. The last thing that stood out for me is that it is listed as an Xbox Game Pass PC but there was no trial code or offer anywhere in the box or on the laptop. The laptop had a significant amount of bloatware installed so be prepared to remove it or deal with it at your discretion. Overall it is a very good laptop and one I plan on keeping, but the laptop description definitely needs to be corrected.

A notebook computer with these specs, this processor and this price? I will admit I was pretty skeptical. Glad to see the Gateway name back, even though it's really Acer. This is marketed as a gaming computer, but I will be the first to admit that I don't game. I have never held a gaming controller in my hand. That said, I'm pretty impressed. This thing is fast, and the keyboard and mouse pad layout are very nice. I actually find it easier to type on this than on a standard PC keyboard. Wi-Fi connected to my home network right away with absolutely no input from me, other than my password. That was impressive. Not overloaded with bloatware, and I was able to uninstall a couple of unwanted programs. A definite step up from my older desktop PC. The only thing I've noticed so far is I'm not horribly impressed with the battery life, but I really don't have a lot to compare it to. Just surfing the web - no video streaming, no music -I got a low battery warning after about 2 1/2 hours.

Great laptop for performance to value. Build quality is great, this laptop has great features with the high refresh screen and the powerful GPU. It felt snappy and was overall a great user experience. The bad - in short, this was all due to long term supportability. Case and point, one kind reviewer from a forum shared a link which apparently the only way to get the laptop drivers. It linked to some tech support guys personal drop box and was kind of sketchy. It felt like the file could have easily been malicious. Also, you cannot upgrade this computer without voiding the warranty? Seriously, what good is an extra ram slot and NVME slot if I get punished for using them? This was just unacceptable (and potentially against FTC rules). So no matter how you put it, youre taking a risk with this computer, and may be in for a significant hassle should any problems arise. Bummer, it is as I generally loved the computer itself. Thanks!
