Alright, got the drivers from Gateway Support! The technician actually provided me a DropBox link, with a single .zip file that is over 4GB in size. I'm downloading now, here's the link he provided me, which appears to be a public link. Not sure how long it will stay live for, so I'm uploading to my Google Drive now and will post the link once it's finished.

GWTN156-3BK Full Drivers Download:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/da6p59o...3.zip?dl=0

EDIT: Below is the public folder I created on my Google Drive, let me know if anyone has any issues accessing. Click the link and then the "Download" button on the middle of the screen.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1...sp=sharing

EDIT: FYI - Installing the Chipset driver (the "chipset-10.1.18383.8213-public-mup" folder in the download above) takes care of all 4 of the items in Device Manager that required a driver.

EDIT: On 11/17 Gateway Support also provided me with the Gaming Center app (rebranded as "Gateway Control Center" on factory image), for RGB control, etc. which I also uploaded to Google Drive:

Great deal, but with this and other, similar deals popping up, just remember that if you buy an i5 processor, you're probably limiting yourself for the future since 4-core processors like those are rapidly becoming outdated and I think that's why we're seeing so many i5 laptops go on sale. I'd much rather wait a couple weeks and spend $799 on the Asus TUF laptop Best Buy has going on sale on the 22nd with an RTX 2060 and a Ryzen 7-4800H 8-core processor. It'll treat you well longer, making it worth the price different.

If you're gonna get a laptop with an i5, you might as well save money and buy one with a slightly less flashy GPU since you're not really getting the full performance out of it anyway.


Edit: For those asking:

This one will be on sale for $799 according to their Black Friday ad, which you can see here:

That's the first thing I thought, after reading 3 reviews they all sounded like a bad advertisement. Very generic stuff.

Trying to buy a first gaming/school laptop for my 12-year-old stepson. I snagged the $799 Best Buy deal on the Asus Tuf (I believe the model is FA506IV-BR7N12). Just ordered this as well.

Which one should I keep? My concern with the Asus is that the battery won't last long enough to get him through a full school day. This one seems to have better battery, but a smaller HD (and doesn't look as "cool" in 12 y.o. terms, so maybe won't be as impressive a gift).

I'm torn.

This is better for gaming if that matters to your son.

I added the 3 year protection plan. Many say Walmart's plans are solid for laptops. No option to buy after purchase.

It definitely matters, but how is this one better? They both have a 2060.

You can buy it later - but within 30 days of the purchase.

About the Gateway name being licensed to some Chinese company by Acer - I think if that Chinese company was bad, Acer wouldn't give them the known Gateway name for tarnishing. They probably put some restrictions in place on that company so that they do not drop Gateway name reputation down.

120hz screen. To be fair, the Asus has a better processor. Depends on what your son's looking for

This has a 120Hz screen?? I thought it was only 60 when I ordered.

Holy crap, this seems like the gaming laptop deal of the season...

It says 8gb of "onboard" ram. Should we be concerned?

This is the lowest I've seen a 2060 laptop sell for.

Other notable specs: 120hz IPS and not 1, but 2 mini display ports on top of the HDMI. So it is triple monitor ready straight out of the box.

Many of the important ports are in the back which is nice and clean.

Agreed, it'll go front page.

It might not be an alienware or razer or some fancy thing the kids like these days, but it's $650 for these specs.
