Gateway NX560x Review

Laptop Magazine reviews the Gateway NX560x, a notebook that is powered by an Intel Core Duo processor. They feature the notebook’s price as it is only $1200 USD, which makes it one of the cheapest Core Duo laptops out there.

Gateway’s NX560x delivers multitasking power in a sub-six-pound package, along with Media Center and more than four hours of battery life.

On the outside, the NX560x is pretty standard fare for a mainstream notebook. Its basic silver-and-black-chassis offers a 15.4-inch widescreen and a full-sized keyboard. The glossy WXGA Ultrabright display is tailor-made for watching DVDs or for putting on slideshows using the Media Center OS. (Like all glossy screens, you’ll notice a glare in rooms with ambient light.)

Some of the things they liked about the NX560x is the dual-core performance, Media Cener OS, low price, and good battery life. Things that hinder the notebook include a small hard drive, and a boring design. Odd that with storage being so cheap that they would skimp on it. They give the machine a three and a half out of five.
