The TC7804u ran for 2 hours and 55 minutes on our video playback battery drain test, using the included six-cell battery. That's less than we'd expect from a six-cell battery, and anything less than 3 hours of battery life isn't recommended for a laptop that will spend significant time away from a wall plug.
Gateway includes an industry-standard one-year parts-and-labor warranty with the system. Support is offered through a 24-7, toll-free, technical-support phone line, and the Web site has the usual driver downloads and FAQs, plus options for e-mailing or online chatting with technicians.
