This is a great little computer. Took it on it's first trip and it did splendidly. No problems anywhere even played games on the plane. Kind of hard to get used to the small screen but when you do it is just fine. Wish it had a "chicklet" keyboard...

Exactly What I Hoped it Would Be

This is my second Gateway laptop and once again I'm impressed with their ability to deliver a smart balance of perks and tradeoffs at a very low cost. If you're intentionally shopping in the very-small ultraportable category rather than for a...

A great surprise in a light little package

 

A great surprise in a light little package

A buddy bought one of these a couple months before, and i thought it was just another netbook, but it was a tad larger, light and sleek. This Gateway is almost as small as an Atom-processor device, tho my hands fit the keyboard better. I love the...

Gateway EC Series EC1433u Cherry Red Intel Celeron M 743(1.30GHz) 11.6" 2GB Memory 250GB HDD Netbook

 

When installing a linux distro on this, if you get a Kernel panic (DMAR hardware is malfunctioning), add intel_iommu=off to the kernel boot arguments (via GRUB). Once installed, make sure to update to latest kernel version (it should resolve this problem)

I wouldn't say this is a netbook, but more of a subnotebook to be honest. It's certainly small, yes, but it still packs a good punch for its size. Peripheral ports abound (VGA and HDMI being big pluses here). Spacious hard drive, plenty of memory, good...

None really. Although if you want to use the Windows install on it, get ready to spend some time cleaning up all the bloatware

Love the color, better than other Netbooks I've seen online and at stores. Very light in weight. I would recommend this to a friend. As a matter of fact I'm probably going to get another one for my wife. I havent had issues with the flat keyboard. It's...

This netbook has an HDMI and VGA output for connecting to an HDTV or monitor. The netbook also has a toslink/digital output. It has plenty of RAM and HDD space. It also comes with Windows 7 Home, unlike other netbooks that only have Windows 7 starter....

Noticed that there is a bluetooth icon on the keyboard that doesnt work. The hardware is probably not installed. Its ok because the specs didnt mention anything about the netbook having bluetooth. The price is a little bit higher than other standard...
