The Gateway MD7818u is part of a new affordable notebook line that shares most of its components with the high-style MC series. This notebook offers many of the same features as its more expensive brother; like the touch-sensitive hidden multimedia keys, classy styling, and excellent build quality. To lower the cost Gateway removed some features that not everyone needed, like the leather palmrest, all-glass display, and backlit keyboard. Does this new notebook still impress us as much as the MC7803u? Read our review to find out.

Confirming, yet again, one of the hottest trends in portable computing, Gateway’s new MD series brings consumers another mainstream 16:9 notebook. The MD series is an affordable, versatile 15.6-inch desktop replacement along the lines of the HP HDX16. It was designed to give general consumers (those who buy computers at big box retailers) a machine that they can afford while also providing them with something that has the features to act as a media machine.

The goal of the MD-series of laptops, according to Gateway, is to offer consumers capable multimedia notebooks at a reasonable price. It succeeds, to that end, by giving the MD7818u (and the MD7801u, which is the same system in black) a large, 500GB hard drive, a 16:9 15-inch display, touch-sensitive media controls, and 4GB of RAM, all wrapped in an upscale design. Compared with similarly priced retail laptops, Gateway’s budget-minded MD-series is one of the more impressive examples, and looks and feels like a more expensive system.
