    CNET Review

    August 4, 2009

    The Good: Low-priced Core 2 Duo laptop; good selection of ports; includes Bluetooth and 802.11n Wi-Fi.

    The Bad: Mediocre battery; weak speakers.

    The Bottom Line: It may not inspire, but for less than $600, the Gateway NV5807u is a great value as an all-around 15-inch laptop.
