Tech Novice Loves Her Red Gateway NV5469Zu However, the nature of my work these days demands faster response and more power than the old Compaq Pentium 4 I clung to. We went to the local Fred Meyer and purchased our Gateway laptop for under 590 dollars, plus fifty dollars for a two year warranty. My only request, when my husband wondered what features I'd like, was, "I'd like a blue one." We wound up with a flashy cherry red laptop with Windows 7 Home Premium and a 15.6 inch High-Definition LED-Backlit Screen (1366 x 768 resolution). It has a 2.2 GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core T4400 Processor, and also contains 4 GB of memory, a 320 GB available hard drive, DVD/RW drive, and a multi-card reader. What I like about my Gateway is that I, a total tech novice can run it. It's intuitive and respectful with me, and I respect it right back. I swoop around the Internet, gathering information at dizzying speed. My Gateway helps me to compose, submit, and correspond with brokers and clients simply and quickly. When, in a former job I was confronted with dreaded flowcharts, my NV5469Zu navigated them gracefully. The drawbacks I have encountered is a hyper-sensitive multi-gesture touchpad; we bought a Belkin Mouse and find it much easier to use. The speakers are adequate, except there isn't nearly the bass response we'd like for listening to music. I like my Gateway NV5469Zu very much; it's gentle with me, and I appreciate that.
