good even if the sliders in the game aren't all cranked to the right now you might be concerned that the rtx 2060 we have in here is going to be last gen very soon but remember guys this is a good thing this laptop is compelling because of the 700 promo price and with new hardware just around the corner we can expect this promo price to stick around well not for that long probably until they're all sold out back to games then it also delivered very reasonable frame rates in shadow of the tomb raider and in rainbow six siege we easily got over 120 frames per second on ultra which is good because yes pleasant surprise it also has a high refresh rate display more on that later though now we would have run some more benchmarks but this thing only comes with a 256 gig SSD so after

be pretty hard to recommend it after just 10 phillips screws good news everyone two easily accessible sodium slots and two m.2 slots each only half full this means over the first year or so with a

then the performance notebook 15.6 inch is checking all the boxes but i wasn't really concerned about that what was more of a concern for me was all of the other things that make a laptop good like the keyboard the screen and the trackpad to compare then we've brought in the hp omen 15. on paper the specs here are the same but when on sale the omen 15 is still 300 more so where did gateway find 300 of cost cutting well in a few places first of all build quality both of these laptops do have plastic chassis but hp wrapped the top half in aluminum leading to quite a bit more stiffness and generally a more premium feel everywhere your hands make contact with it with that said the gateway isn't terrible in this regard either with a solid acceptable c plus for i o they're shockingly

couple of points for including Thunderbolt 3. moving on to the display previously some cheap high refresh rate panels would have either been tn or only support 6-bit color and i'm happy to report that the gateway has a proper ips type 120hz panel with 8-bit color the high refresh rate display simply means that you will be more competitive in multiplayer games than someone with a 60 hertz screen and at 1080p resolution the rtx 2060 will be running just about everything above 120 FPS to really take advantage of it in a vacuum then looks really good but then side by side with the hp it's just no competition the brightness and colors on the omen just blow the gateway machine out of the water it's not going to be a huge problem if you only plan on gaming or you sit in the dark a lot but if you're doing any photo or video editing i would save up for something with a better display another area gateway could have cheaped out is the cooling good cooling means a lot of copper and copper is very expensive and running furmark for half an hour confirmed that sure the hp does have better cooling its GPU leveled out at just 67 degrees while the gateway was at 72 but given that both managed basically the same clock speeds and ended up being constrained by power not thermals i was pretty happy although the hp did end up with a 2-3 FPS lead both of them were also similarly loud but the fans in the gateway had a bit more of that high-pitched whine that makes them more annoying truthfully though with either of them you'll probably want to stay away from open-back headphones while you're gaming this general trend of this being good and this being better continues for the keyboard trackpad and speakers the hp wins but only just and the gateway remains good enough such that you won't be complaining while using any of those things bringing us then to our first real problem battery life in pc mark 10's modern office benchmark the omen 15 put up a respectable 6 hours and 14 minutes in the same benchmark with the same settings and screen brightness our gateway managed just an hour and a half that is a big uff right there if you catch my drift an hour and a half isn't just bad like it's way worse than what made sense to us so we started the test again and realized oh good old norton antivirus was chewing up 90 of the CPU scanning every part of the test that opened by using the best piece of software norton makes we were able to increase the battery life of this thing to nearly six hours freaking wow at least it wasn't a hardware problem right now it should be mentioned that hp did still deliver more performance on battery and has a much bigger battery so if you plan on doing anything away from the wall besides watching videos or using word it will be a better choice but the gateway wasn't nearly as bad as it seemed out of the box i do still have a question though i keep calling this a gateway but who the heck actually made this laptop gateway has been basically a dead company for the last 10 years with its owner acer letting it slowly rot at first i thought maybe it was just like a rebadged nitro 5 packaged up for walmart but looking at the nitro 5 and the performance notebook side by side they're clearly not the same machine at all my next guest then was clavo but i couldn't find any matches and it also wasn't uh born technology who makes gateway's other walmart exclusive laptops we actually looked at one of those a little while back so go watch that video if you want to see what a slow motion dumpster fire looks like no this was made by tongfeng the gk5nr00 to be exact is that right zero oh wow unbelievable which is good to know if you want to find some upgrades for it off of sites like aliexpress for example this much juicier 62.3 watt hour battery can be had for just 68 almost a nice price basically then from this comparison the hp omen 15 is a better laptop in every single way and if you find it on sale it's the one you should get out of the two but the gateway performance notebook 15.6 inch also doesn't have any brutal flaws at seven hundred dollars the performance notebook gives you everything you need and over the next year or two it can easily become a fair bit better as you upgrade the RAM storage and maybe even the battery so it's certified cheapskate legit what's just certified legit though is the
