 Excellent Buy! March 8, 2010

Note: This review is for what I believe is the newer model of this computer, the LT2104u.
This is a very solid netbook. I tried out many different models before deciding on this, and I am completely satisfied. Some reasons I chose this over others (since performance-wise, Netbooks are all pretty simlilar)
-Keyboard.
This model has a very quality feeling keyboard. The tactile response feels just right; several other models felt 'cheap' to me. I use this computer mostly for writing, and I love it.
-Trackpad.
I don't like trackpads, even nice ones, but they are just part of using a laptop unless you want to carry a mouse around. The trackpad on this model is larger then most, but not in the way when typing. It also supports various special movements and two finger gestures for scrolling and such, so as far as trackpads go, it is good.
Size.
Again, most netbooks are about the same size. However, this model is a little thinner then most of the others, and the battery does not protrude out in an unsightly manner. The battery does add a small rounded ridge to the bottom, but barely increases the overall dimensions. This is among the best netbook battery configurations I have seen.
-Functional Layout
This netbook has, in my opinion, well placed connections. There are USB ports on both the left and right sides (3 total), so you can use a mouse without having to have the cable running around the computer. There is also a multi-card reader and a VGA out, in addition to headphone out and mic in connections. There are no connectors on the front or back, only the sides.
Aesthetically, I also find this netbook very pleasing. I have the black version, though white and red are also offered. The top half is a gloss finish, so fingerprints will show up very easily, especially on the black model. The lower casing is made of a slightly textured highly qualitative feeling plastic, which I appreciated over the cheaper plastic used on some other brands.
Performance speaking, it has actually exceeded my expectations. As I said, I use it primarily for writing. The keyboard is 90% the size of a normal keyboard, and even though I have probably larger then average hands, I find it very comfortable to use even after several hours. The screen is also nicer then I had expected. The viewing angle I would say is on par if not better then most laptop screens, and the colors are very even all the way across from reasonable vantage angles.
I installed Photoshop 9 (CS2) on it just to see how it would work, and was very surprised. It runs quite well, I was able to open very large files with many layers and edit them without lag issues. I connected a wacom tablet and was able to digitally paint without any performance hiccups. Obviously, this is not an ideal setup, but it really does work and I would not feel out of place working on it for little sketches and such.
So, knowing that, unsurprisingly, less memory intensive programs work fine; word apps and internet and all the more basic things run great.
This computer has 1gb of RAM, and can be upgraded to 2gb. I am satisfied with the stock performance, but if you do upgrade, note that this is (so I hear) one of the few netbook models that is user friendly to swap the RAM in. There are small covers on the bottom held on with screws, so I imagine it is very easy to get to the RAM, unlike many laptops that require a more difficult procedure.
The model I have also comes with Windows 7 Starter. Many people complain about this "starter" edition, but it does everything I need just fine. The missing features are not an issue in my opinion. You will need to install programs from a source other then a disc though, as Win 7 Starter DOES NOT support external disc drives unless you pay to upgrade. So, either download software for it, or install off of a file. Again, I am using this computer above what it was really intended for, and don't find Win 7 Starter to be an issue at all. The reason they give you a basic version is to keep the price down, and I find that a more then fair trade.
Random other notes-
I connected this netbook to a HD projector using the VGA out. A simple Windows key + P lets you set it up in seconds, and it works great. The resolution did not fill the screen (the projector was native 720p, so the netbook output was displayed slightly inset at 600x1024).
All in all, for the price, this is an amazing device. Despite being a 'weak' computer, it is more then functional. Simple computing tasks are no issue at all, and even Photoshop CS2 runs just fine. The screen is just high enough resolution that it is not bothersome at all to me, and the convenience is great. This is truly small and light enough that you can just toss it in a bag and take it anywhere, and no one will be able to tell you are carrying a laptop. The battery also really does last a very long time, at least 7 hours.
Highly recommended based on what I have experienced so far.

So I just received this computer today. I commented on an earlier review by "College Kid" and now wish to address some of his concerns. I will update and edit this review as I discover more about the system. As far as the battery goes, you MUST go into the battery settings and change it to the BEST POWER-SAVING option to have over 10 hours. My battery is listed at 90% with 10.18 hours left. As far as the HDD goes, I noticed that it is listed as 138 gb. 11 gbs are used already, which puts me at about 127. I know there is a recovery partition, but this being XP, I have a hard time believing the partition is really 22 gbs. I'll have to look into this. Otherwise, so far computer is snappy. I don't have wireless-N in my apt so I'll have to check that tomorrow, too. Hope this helps.
EMCOMM NETBOOK March 11, 2010
Ham Radio Emergency Communicator (Ohio)
I looked for a netbook for service as an Emergency Communications
computer to take into the field. I needed Win XP, long battery
life and small size and light in weight.
I chose the Gateway on its specs and I am not disappointed.
Amazingly, the keyboard size is almost the same as my
desktop keyboard; that made the transition easy.
I needed Win XP because the software I use was written
for XP and I don't need any surprises in the field
with Win 7 or others.
Great netbook! March 12, 2010

This netbook is compact, light-weight and has everything I was looking for. The keyboard is easy to use. All-in-all a great buy!

This is the first Netbook I purchased. We use the netbook several times a day. It has the the ability to do anything we need done. The battery life is tremendous. I reccommend this item.
