 VERY nice laptop for the price March 2, 2010
Michael R. Brumback (Sacramento, CA)
I truly don't know how you can find a better laptop for the price. I've now had this for 6+ months and purchased it in a store for $459.00. In my opinion, the keyboard isn't as bad as people have suggested. I sometimes have to repunch a button when typing but half of it is because of off-center fingertip placement on the keys. This laptop is FAST! I used Windows XP before and was reluctant to use the Windows Vista preloaded on the machine, however, I'm pleasantly surprised of the ease of use of Vista.
Pros: Speed of the Intel Core 2 Duo processor
16:9 screen
HDMI connection
Multimedia control on the console
Aesthetically beautiful machine
Cons: Battery sucks (lucky to get thru a movie without dying) even with battery saving setting in Vista
Only has 1.3Mega pixel webcam (better than nothing though)
Buy from Amazon!! May 28, 2009

I recently purchased the MD-7335U from the Home Shopping Network for $760 thinking I got a good deal. Once I went to Amazon, not only did I get a better model (bigger hard drive) but I saved over $100. Never buy from HSN!!!
 Gateway MD 7820U Laptop April 30, 2009

I recently purchased a Gateway MD7820U laptop online. The computer came in two days. The computer is very fast online and boots quickly. Vista has a number of security features not found on Windows. However, the computer has a number of problems. Because it is a 64-bit computer, I can't get certain software for it yet, such as VPN. It is difficult to understand how to back up files on my jump drive, as it wants to back up on DVDs. Most importantly, the computer has a faulty keyboard that types in "c"s or "d"s or "b"s when I move the arrow keys. It has ruined several spreadsheets, email messages, and Word documents. I emailed Gateway and their customer service is disgraceful. Even though the computer is brand new, I was told I had to pay them to get advice on the problem. Nice people, eh? Gateway really stands behind their products! Not! I think the Gateway executives should get a two-week paid vacation to a water theme park--Gitmo.

Given the specs and the overall usage of my laptop, I'm very well pleased with Gateway's product.
 Nice Laptop - Poor Support April 18, 2009

I am very satisfied with this laptop so far. I had it for about two weeks. Nice screen - very bright. The HDMI works flawlessly. Speed is good and I got everything I was expecting with the purchase of a new laptop.
However, Amazon doesn't tell you that the LEFT multimedia panel is an option to BUY. I did not see this as an option on the Amazon site. So I call customer support and did LIVE CHAT and E-MAIL. I through 6 agents before being told this was an option I had not bought. All the others were suggesting I do a full system restore (losing all the installed software) or sending the system in for repairs.
Computer is good. Customer support is wretched!
