Cheap, yet decently powered, notebooks are not hard to find anymore these days. One very good choice would be the Gateway EC1430u notebook.

Starting at just $550, the Gateway EC1430u notebook has a 1.3 GHz Intel Premium SU 4100 processor and 3 GB of RAM. The hard drive is able to store up to 320 GB. It also has the integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500 MHD for graphics support.

Measuring just 11.2 x 8.0 x 1.2 inches, the EC1430u is virtually identical in stature to the Acer Aspire Timeline 1810T (11.2 x 8.0 x 1.2 inches) and the HP Mini 311 (11.4 x 8.0 x 1.2 inches), a notebook and a…

Most 10 inch notebook computers, or netbooks, may only have two characteristics: first, they are small and second they can only be used for basic computing needs. But not all netbooks offer just that, one fine example would be the Gateway LT2118u.

The Gateway SX2800-01 ($499.99 list) is a small compact form PC like the Dell Inspiron 537s and HP Slimline PCs. But even if the Gateway SX2800-01 is slim it is not slim when it comes to features, especially for a multimedia user.

It has 4GB of memory (expandable to 8GB), PCIe x16 graphics card slot (though it’s only half-height), and eSATA, FireWire, and SPDIF ports. Most importantly, it has an Intel Core 2 Quad Q8200 processor allowing you to edit photos, music and videos.

If you usually use software that requires dual core or quad core, this is one of the cheapest you can get that actually works.

The Gateway SX2800-01 comes with a…

The Gateway One ZX6801-01 is the first official Windows 7 PC. So there is a lot of hype with this new desktop.

The Gateway One ZX6801-01 has a very handsome case design so its not something you will be afraid to use. It has the new generation of Windows 7-based all-in-one PCs with fast performance, which is the biggest feature of this PC. It has a decent mainstream gaming capability; solid-state hard drive speeds OS and application loading.

Some kinks in the Gateway One ZX6801-01 is sometimes it has an unresponsive touch input; it does not have Blueray and wall mounting and what the hell were they thinking about the TV tuners.

In the netbook world Intel’s Atom CPU is like the king of the hill, top dog. Even with the likes of AMD and Via CPUs trying to catch up, the Atom is still number 1. So it is very surprising that we found the 11.6-inch Gateway LT3103u, which uses an AMD Athlon 64 L110 processor to provide a smoother overall experience than most Atom-powered Netbooks, and still be priced like a typical netbook.

The larger screen has a high-definition 1,366×768 resolution, which is becoming increasingly common in higher-end Netbooks. But the difference between Gateways LT3103u and the likes of the Asus Eee PC 1101HA and the Sony Vaio W is it…

In today’s market, a perfectly usable laptop can be bought for a song, especially if the laptop you want to buy is in the midrange model. Due to this trend, Gateway’s NV5897u debuts as yet another midsize, decently spec’d Core 2 Duo laptop in a frame that’s not too bulky, but certainly won’t be confused for a Netbook.

Since the Gateway – Acer merger, Gateway is only surviving as a familiar brand that provides variations on Acer’s offerings. In the case of the NV5807u, the cost of the product may well be worth its price. At $599, it is priced to really take a chunk of buyers who are considering a…
