Gateway NV52 laptop computer

My first review for my blog is for something I have owned for three and a half years and have used almost daily that entire time. What is that? It’s my laptop. It’s a Gatway NV52 which we purchased at Best Buy. There were several reasons why we chose a Gateway when we were computer shopping. The name is well known as a quality brand. Personally, we liked that it came with Windows 7 and has 4 USB Ports, an HDMI port and even 2 Ethernet ports. I also like that it has the number pad on the side as well as across the top of the keyboard. It also came with a multi-gesture touchpad, HD LCD display and a card reader. The brand new laptop my husband's company just gave him doesn't even have nearly that many ports or features.



My Gateway has been an indispensable tool as I home-schooled both of my children for three years and still continue to home-school my son today. It came with a free trial of Microsoft Office which I have purchased the full Microsoft Office and installed it on my laptop. I have researched curriculum through the internet on the computer, made hotel reservations for trips, researched field trip ideas, and even made worksheets and tests with it. It was also indispensable while I was my church’s Youth Group Leader. I used the computer for many, many tasks. I am on my computer daily for researching, email, social networking, games, shopping, and blogging. It is not unusual for me to have 20-25 internet tabs up and running at a time and my laptop keeps up with it without any problems. My computer is almost never turned off although it is put in “sleep” mode while I sleep at night and run errands. With all that use, I still have 227/286 GB free on my hard drive.

With all that said, my Gateway NV52 laptop has been through a lot of abuse. It has been carried around wherever I go. It has even been dropped a few times. It has come through with little more than scratches most of the time. One time the power button got stuck in the off position so we went on the internet and learned how to fix it. We patched it together and I continue to use it daily.
I regularly recommend Gateway to my friends and will continue to do so. It is a great quality computer. It's 3 1/2 years later and I still say, "I love it!!"
