Background and Identification

The Gateway NE56R27u was formally released in the fall of 2012. This notebook was designed with the everyday user in mind. Its dual-core, Pentium B960, processors provided the perfect balance between quick processing speeds and longer battery life. With a listing price of just $199, this device was one of the most affordable options on the market. Even though some users reported having issues with the power adapter on this model, there were not any factory recalls on the device while it was still in production. If you are looking for a strictly gaming device with high display resolution, then the Gateway NE56R27u is not for you. However, if you need a reliable device suited for every-day office tasks, then you have come to the right spot.

Overall, this device was designed with simplicity in mind. With dimensions of 15x10x1.3 inches, and a weight of 5.53 lbs, the Gateway NE56R27u is somewhat difficult to travel with. Even though the Gateway NE56R27u looks very similar to other NE56 models, you can easily tell this device apart by looking at the model number. The model number is located at the top left corner of the sticker on the bottom of the laptop.
