The Bottom Line	The reasonably priced, attractively designed Gateway M-7818u is a solid all-around 15.4-inch laptop for students and home users.	Gateway's affordable multimedia laptop, the MD7818u, has some high-end design touches, but is a little too big for travel.	A large-screen laptop with very good performance, the Gateway NV7802u is an attractive choice for home or office.	The Gateway NV5207u is certainly above average for the money, but its processor is a dog.	Thanks to its low-cost, solid construction, roomy and comfortable keyboard, and current Intel platform, the Sony Vaio VGN-NS140E is a 15-inch mainstream laptop worthy of your consideration.
