Other components includes 4GB of ram, a 320GB hard drive and a 17.3'' HD display (1600x900). As a large 17.3'' notebook, it is equipped with a full sized keyboard including a 10 key number pad, as well as a large multi-touch enabled trackpad, though it is disappointing to see only a 6 cell battery as opposed to a 8 or 9 cell battery found in many larger notebooks. Connectivity options includes wifi b/g/n, gigabit ethernet, 5 in 1 media card reader, three USB ports, and HDMI video output. The Gateway NV73A12u is a good option for buyers who don't need the graphics power of the NV7309u but want the extra performance from the triple core processor.
