Today I took the Gateway MD7801u notebook, which Cisco Cheng recently reviewed for PCMag.com, out for a spin. There’s a lot to like about it–in styling, performance, and certain features such as its cavernous (500GB) hard drive. Even better, you get it for a surprisingly affordable price for what it offers.
I’d never have guessed that this was an $800 laptop. A media-center machine, the MD7801u’s 15.6-inch glossy widescreen (at 1,366-by-768 resolution) is in the 16:9 format that’s become prevalent in recent laptops, and it displayed photos and video well. Photoshop was very responsive, bearing out the MD7801’s quite respectable multimedia performance scores in our Photoshop (as well as Cinebench R10 and Windows Media Encoder) tests.
