I'm such a fan of having ports in the back of a laptop. In my opinion it makes the whole design look much cleaner.
Dope review guys! Loving the clean look of this laptop! 💻🔥
Woah, that was blast from the past. My first laptop was a gateway that I bought from Circuity City when I worked there at 17 years old😯
We're probably almost the same age then. I remember gateway and Compaq owning the laptop game in circuit city lol
hi guys thanks for the review.. i have the 2060 version Performance Notebook, Intel i5-10300H, NVIDIA 2060 RTX, and dont regret it , when i bought it was listed at 499... now with this one out i may upgrade
You guys are too young to remember Gateway back in the day. But they were the among forerunners of PC builders. I remember coming over to the US on vacation one year speccing out a 386sx25 system and Gateway were one of the premium brands at the time, too premium for my budget at the time :( The black and white Cow has always been part of their branding. This laptop looks like an awesome deal btw.
to be fair they look to be around my age and im 34 so im assuming 25 to 34ish and i mean ive had 3 gateway laptops starting back in like 2005 so they probably arnt to young to remember but by that time gateway was bought out by acer and were relegated to their budget end so unless u were like walmart shopping for computers and were looking in the emachine price level of things noone was really buying them and they faded from memory
I didn’t even know gateway still existed I knew they use to be decent in the 90’s and early 2000’s but I thought they went outta business good to see them hanging on with so much competition out here
They got bought out by Acer in 2007, they aren't a standalone company or brand any longer. Just an Acer sub-brand.
They and Emachines were bought by Acer years ago. They came back first in the EU market as a budget brand and are popping up back in the states.
this is a tonfeng chinese laptop just label slapped with gateway logo.
I tried a new gateway laptop last year, it was a pile of components other manufactures must have rejected.
The screen was obviously a reject with really really bad backlight uniformity issues. Took it back to the store not sure if I was going to return it or try another, then saw the display laptop had the same reject level screen and got a refund.
My 10 year old chromebook was and still is a far better laptop, though I did replace that with an hp but it still works.
Meh. It was $399.99 before. Now it's $499.99. They keep changing the price.
Still a good deal
They are preparing to drop it back down to 399.99 for black friday/cyber monday
@@djbobby224are they actually ?
@@djbobby224 Brooooo i bought mine for 600 euro (660 usd on a bad day for euro, 690/700 on a good day.)
At least i got something
@@ceacseeaer you didn't know that where all the black friday/ cyber Monday deals come from?
Got this at micro 2 months ago, finally someone reviews it 😂
Planning to buy this month
My first real gaming laptop had a C2D CPU with 9500m GT 512 MB VRAM.
How far we have come in the gaming industry with laptops. Outstanding performance.
Mine was very similar except I had a 9600m gt
@@theion888yea it has what are you talking about
Same here. Had (still have it lol) a xps m1710 with 7900gs I believe also had 256 vram. Played the hell out of it, especially WoW. It is crazy how we have evolved with laptops and how much affordable it became.
@@jponz85 Dude i got that laptop from someone at work. the GPU needs a reflow. But I think it's an 8-series GPU.
@@DanielCardei yes, I had to open it and clean out the vents as it was clogged. Bought a laptop cooler for it and never had any problems with it. Still works today :)
These guys just woke up and decided to have a 'let's just wing it' video review 😂... I like it
I enjoy your videos but I'm not in US, wish there was a Microcentre in the UK :(
you guys should have CS 2 in your game test suite in the future ;)
They've dont it before
THE COW BOX. Most of my early childhood gaming memories involve Gateway computers.
I must have missed it. What is the model # for this Gateway laptop? Looks killer!
First IBM Compatible was a Gateway with a 486DX33...and yes, the cow theme was prevalent.
*Wow great price, we need microcentre in the UK!*
It's recommended to charge the laptop for 3 hours before turning it on for the first time or keep it plugged in
I wish we have microcenter too :(
What is the best budget laptop period? (Under 400) Regardless of design. I looked earlier and the answer seemed to be the Acer Aspire 5, is that it? (&Also theres three diff. Aspire 5's, which one if so)
I have one, been running great.
Mine exploded
Gateway used to be a premium prebuilt brand back in the day, they were called gateway 2000 until 2000 stopped sounding like the future. That cow spot branding has been around since at least the time of my old Gateway Pentium 3 866 system I bought back around he turn of the century.
I wish there was a Micro Center here in Utah the closest one is in Denver from me
I didn't know Gateway was still in business.
Jeez. that our performs my $2000 build I am currently still running from when build a computer youtube videos were all the rage when gpus came out.
400 bucks is steal. But its listed at 500 now. Still not bad.
RTX 3050 and 2050 in 500$ price point or lower is kinda good value rn, especially the 2050 is suitable for ppl who don't like high wattage and plays games decently
@@lurch789 ... microcenter has it at 499.
399 now
@@patricktheshinobi3209 just found one for 350. The price sure does change A LOT
I bought 2 open box (complete) for $365 each. Insane price! Will get them after work tomorrow.
Nice catch. There's 3 open box units at my store in Yonkers for $365 as well and one for $382. Good deal.
All from microcenter?
@@srfegersame here, took a trip down to the Yonkers store to get an open box. It’s beautiful in person
I wish Microcenter would ship these things
Just purchased a used laptop (which was essentially brand new) for only $1000 CDN (740 USD) It was a Lenovo Slim 5i i7-13700h 14 core 20 thread RTX 4060 with a 144hz 1440p screen. Best deal I could have possibly gotten so I'm happy to say the least lol. The only sad thing is that it performs better than my desktop now XD This gateway is a solid 1080p gaming laptop but personally Id say its worth spending a little more and gettting a powerhouse like mine that can handle 1440p and 4K gaming as well.
I got this from y’all about a month ago and it’s been great. Has played any game I throw at it with no problems. Yeah it’s a gateway but I’m impressed and the price was crazy low compared to other gaming laptops I looked at.
Hows cod or apex?
apex runs great i havent had to mess with the settings at all.
@@fxrsaken1602
Can u play fivem?
The key board is RGB backlit, there is a menu that some one can use to adjust it.
I want this for Christmas, but the problem is, is that the nearest game center is 2 hours away
It cracks me up that this laptop is now at $500. It was $430 for a long while and $400 when on sale a month ago (never saw it lower than that though). I checked it out in person just because I was intrigued by the value of it. It wasn't bad at all. Don't get me wrong, it's a entry level gaming laptop for certain, but not everyone is playing AAA games. You can get a ton of fun out of this laptop and having DLSS is icing on the cake. But $500 now after all this time at the lower price? Just odd.
It's not that odd considering black friday/cyber monday is just a few weeks from now, every company ramps up their prices and then supposedly gets "discounted"
@@fluffypotato7475precisely
Still better value than anything else out there
duuude yer gettin' a Gateway 😎😎
Could I use it to do some coding? Or video editing?
Worth it in my opinion just got one open box for $419total as a backup and was extremely suprised recommed it for sure was better than anything else I could find used or new in the price range
How good is the overall quality (hardware and software) ? Planning on picking this up but kinda skeptical because of how cheap it is.
@@1793 I was skeptical to but build quality is good Ive been making beats and runs everything perfectly, very satisfied for the price even has a option to change colors on keyboard which my main msi katanas laptop doesn’t have
@@1793 been using A lot to see if anything happens before the 15 day return policy and no complains at all check if they have an open box u might get lucky n get it cheaper and looking more into it company is bought by acer to if that helps
do yk if it can play minecraft and games with similar quality?
DAMN I didn't know gateway still exists let alone they made gaming laptops
Gateway used to have a strong hold on the personal computer market back in the early 90s going into the 2000s until Apple took their market share with better products. The cow logo was part of their small town, family business branding because the orginal founders were from a farm area and i believe grew up on a farm (Kansas if im nit mistaken but dont quote me on that lol) Gateways always have been good computers, they just didnt adjust with the curve of time and so they got left in the past. And yes, the cow box was always their signature 😂. Im young in the tech game so im talking from self taught research and just history working on Gateway computers growing up on the side doing repairs for money and i needed to be educated in the hardware. Please comment if anyone who was actually around back then knows something different or can confirm 👍
Gateway was bought out and is just another companies brand/label now
You're right, back in the day Gateway built legit good PCs. My second PC was a Gateway Pentium 3 866 and that thing was a beast at the time. The FAQ in the manual included "what's the deal with the cow spots?" because so many people asked that question.
Would you recommend this laptop for SteamVR gaming?
gateway was always cow theme lol another banger guys!
Could this laptop run Tarkov single player mod, low/med settings at 60? If not, what more does a laptop need to have specs wise to handle it?
Is it possible to have this shipped? I see no shipping thing on their site..
I tried to buy one but I couldn’t. I live in Florida I filled out stuff but they never showed it to ship. I guess I have to wait till 2024 they open a store in Miami Fl. I have a Gateway I bought in 2013. Still works fine I like gateway better than most other brands. Hay I will buy the one you have I’ll watch for replies on comments. Please Answer I’ll take it!!
No disassembly? Would love to know if it's upgradeable and/or repairable.
This laptop has great storage expansion options, unlike the victus laptop($600) with a single m2 slot only that is already occupied by the OS drive!
Here is a link to a video showing upgrade options!

@@kjorellana87 Well, that's neat! Thanks. I wonder what the maximum RAM configuration is.
Could it record with something like OBS and run most games like COD(Call of duty), Fortnite and Minecraft?
I'm really watching this video on this laptop, I literally bought my few weeks ago and loved it ever since!
Sorry I meant to say I bought mine if a few weeks ago.
hey hows the laptop holding up? i plan on buying it soon and would love to hear from someone that has owned it for some time
@@HyLowz hello, I've owned this laptop for About six months and I've used it every day since. I can definitely tell you it's still worth it.
if You're planning on buying it go for it. It's worth the money!
@@ShinetoZeroX appreciate the quick reply! Gonna be taking a trip up to the Brooklyn microcenter in 2 weeks to pick it up 😁
@@HyLowz Yeah, dude, that's awesome, But it sucks that you have to go to a different state to get it. But it's definitely worth it.
I bought a used version of this predecessor, a 10300H and 2060 variant for around this price a year or so ago. Would not have expected a Gateway of all things would provide such a decent gaming experience; it's a pretty sturdy, no frills design that gets the job done. I don't need this, but I could recommend it, if it's anywhere near the bang for the buck I got with my 10300h version.
Problem is durability. How well does gateway hold up against let's say my Dell g7 laptop? Hmm idk
@@jponz85That’s dell, basically immortal if you take good care of it.
@smiley7399 oh absolutely. I still have my inspiron 1100 from 2003 and Dell xps m1710 from 2007 lol they still work
Where did you get the deal?
sucks that i don't have a micro center where i live (shipping isn't available)
Toasty Bro's downclock the cpu to 3 ghz or something, trust me, the 4 ghz creates heatproblems
Please review Lenovo loq 15 with i5 13450H and RTX 3050
This is the perfect budget gaming laptop. 👌 That is actually ment for gaming 😂
Quick question man, how do i get this im from philippines i tried looking for it online and i cant find one that can be shipped here
Why did you guys leave the Vram at 4gb? The refreshed Laptop 3050 has 6gb and from the looks of the game setting you showed the slider was in the middle? Can you do a retest with the Vram at its full power?
sold out pls lemme know if they are restock
This laptop on its way to become 3000$ in Egypt
Okay?
As an Egyptian, I find this pretty relatable. Like bro everything here is 1.5x over the MSRP 💀
I havent seen gateway sooo long .the first PC i ever had was a gateway
Bruh I was looking for a new laptop recently (hornstly not for gaming but I still looked around) and at this price, there's nothing like that here 😂
We’re can you get this laptop from micro center doesn’t ship
i picked out a laptop to ask for for christmas and i found an asus rog strix g15 for only 850 usd. it had i think an 19 processor, an rtx 3050 with 6 or 8 gigs vram, 16 gb ddr5 ram, and 512 gb ssd drive, and i think i actually might be getting it! ive never gotten a gift that expensive. the most expensive was probably when my parents bought my cousins switch for like 300. the reason it was the same price as a brand new one was bc it came with like ten games, and it had a small scratch on the screen but that was my fav christmas
(Edit): sorry, an i9 not a 19 i always mess it up
Acer bought Gateway back in 2007. This gave them the right to the Gateway and eMachines brands.
Is the usb-c, display port compatible?
7:32 my guy has been watching faide lol
Gateway still makes laptops? My last gateway laptop was an old AMD Windows XP laptop
Good afternoon, what do you recommend taking acer helios 16 2023 (rtz 4070) or lenovo legion pro 7i (rt 4070) and why? Thank you!
Is the RAM upgradable?
Can you do a 700$ of build with a nvidia card?
Gateway:Gateway laptops are only at walmart
Micro Center:You sure about that?
Winning Apex on a laptop is winning in life.
Just that the CPU temps are really high at around 90c
Question, on the specs it says this device has two mini display ports. Where is it? I can’t find them in the laptop to be able to connect it to my monitor via Display port where my pc was
Are either of you 2 old enough to remember Gateway when it was popular? I remember Dell, Gateway, Packard Bell, Compaq, and E-machines all competing for our saved lunch money. Rich kids had Dell, kids that worked had gateways (myself), hard working families had enough for a household computer had PB and Compaq, and people that needed a PC but did not have a ton of money to spend had an E-Machine. BTW... Yes they always had a black and white esthetic that looked like a cow.
Wow, they got this for $429? I bought mine for $699, and I thought that was a good deal! The build quality almost two years later is still much better than most, and it plays most games very good at 1080p.
my closest micro center is across the state
I got a deal for a lenovo legion 5 for $579 a couple months ago and I totally would of chose this laptop if knew about it.
What's the specs in your lenovo?

@fullest7896 I believe Lenovo will outlast gateway though lol.
Is it better than the Msi?
GEN 4 Drive , Intel 11th gen laptop is pretty much 12th gen no e cores SOC chip

Can you expand the RAM or storage on this laptop?
Yes
I’m on the fence, should I get it?
Anyone
I bought this laptop after i watched this video. It's great for the price.
"Has Gateway always had the cow?" WHAT?
It's not for me...But damn if that isn't a deal..little thing has some kick to it as well!
Not in Canada I guess...
450usd is 610cad.
Does anywhere else have it

One question I bought two gaming laptop for my daughter both for this upcoming Christmas. One a asus Rog 14 3060 ryzen 7 for $735.
The other gaming Laptop is Asus Tuf Dash i7 3070 gpu DDR5 for $886. Both are open box from best buy. Excellent condition. Are they are good price. Let me know.
Yep bro you got a amazing deal
The difference between ddr4 and 5 isnt worth something to gobble about. The cpu is at the very least better then mine, and everything higher then a 3050 is already a +.
I recommend the Rog 14. If it only has 8 gigs, make sure to get another stick of so-dimm ram at the same speed (probs 3.2 ghz)
But yes they are definitely a good enough price. I wish they were cheaper here.
@@DeNoobGamer bad advice, ddr4 vs ddr5 is something to gobble about. Generally in many cases the ram speed is up to twice as fast, from 2600-3200mhz to 5200-5600mhz..... just pure numbers; *that's substantial.* And from a hardware standpoint ivee experienced the jump myself although its not possibly pinpoint recognizably better, statistically, very much so... Especially when you are shopping around, many times ive seen pc/laptop listings with older and slower ram/cpu, yet more expensive or about same price as another pc/laptop with NEW curent year release cpu and ddr5 ram......
Name of the laptop???
