Gateway LT2115u 10.1-Inch White Netbook - Over 10 Hours of Battery Life Review

Gateway LT2115u 10.1-Inch White Netbook - Over 10 Hours of Battery Life
My wife and I have been looking for a light netbook with a fashion design for a while, and finally located this one. We got her about three days ago and started to love her. The overall design is eye-catching. We can easily fit her in my wife’s bag. The battery can last at least 6-7 hours when we are doing word processing or browsing. If we are just reading a book, the battery icon says it can go more than 10 hours. Typing is comfortable, both with my large hands and my wife’s small hands. The screen is bright with large viewing angle. The CPU speed is ok. Sometimes we had to wait a couple of seconds after starting the browser before being able to type the address. This is not a big deal to us. I have uninstalled most of the blowware, and installed office 2003 and a bunch of softwares that we normally use. 160 GB hard disk is enough. 1 GB memory is good for our use case, mainly word processing and browsing internet.

Gateway LT2023u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - 3 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

So far so good, nice key board, easy to used. BESHURE to make a restore disc. The first time after the set up make shure you type in slowly your password, you may hit another key like I did or it just locked me out. You have to log in everytime, I don’t know if you can by-pass the log in like the larger lap tops or it maybe windows 7. It took a friend and some reading to restore (2hrs), no support number for Gateway (I could not find one, @#$%%^). Over all from what I know pretty good for one day, need to play with it some more.

Gateway LT2030u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook - Over 7 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

Gateway LT2030u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook - Over 7 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter)
Have enjoyed my Gateway LT2030 netbook for about a week now.
Keyboard - pretty good, can touch type immediately without difficulty. Multitouch is fun, espec for photos.
Display - excellent, albeit locked into 1280×600 on the book, you can go larger with an external monitor
Win 7 Starter - I like it. setup took about 4 minutes. Saw a lot of posts about only being able to open 3 apps, but this hasn’t been an issue. I have Chrome (you can have as many web pages as you want), word, paint, Win Media player, and a chess game open right now. No crashes so far. The “Do you want to let this program make changes?” on installs is more tolerable for some reason. Cloud apps are the plan. Haven’t installed a lot yet.
Software - lots of gateway junk games, but Chess Titans is not included. ???? This is a miss. Can watch netflix wirelessly without lags. Basic Works, MS offerings otherwise.
[...]
I can carry this thing around the house, throw it in the car, feed my attention deficit in many new settings. Great basic tool. [...]
