Gateway LT3103u

Though speed and battery life aren't its forte, the Gateway LT3103u is competitively priced and bundles a large screen and full size keyboard.

Eleven-inch widescreen is atypical of a netbook. Full size keyboard. Love the resolution. 2GB of memory. Big hard drive. Competitively priced.

Battery life falls short of its rivals. Design is generic. Windows XP Professional would?ve been a faster alternative to Vista.

Gateway LT3103u review:

In the battle for Netbook market share supremacy, Intel's Atom CPU stands nearly unchallenged, despite a handful of offerings with AMD and Via CPUs. So it's surprising we found so much to like about the 11.6-inch Gateway LT3103u, which uses an AMD...

Feels faster than an Intel Atom Netbook, but keeps the price low; high-def display.

Uninspiring battery life; terrible mouse buttons; no Bluetooth.

The 11-inch, AMD-powered Gateway LT3103u does well on price and performance, but drops the ball on battery life when compared with the competition.

Review Of The Gateway LT3103u Laptop

Unlike most of the notebooks which use the Intel Atom processor, gateway uses an AMD athlon 64 L110 Single-Core Processor which I found out to be more efficient compared to the Atom. Well, it's not as fast as the ULV system but it could give the Atom a...

AMD athlon processor, the keyboard design, awesome wi-fi connectivity, good audio quality, a decent buy at the price it's being offered for

Low battery life, video streaming not that great, uninspiring muse buttons, slow boot-time, fingerprint attracting glossy finish

Its not a mac nor is it Intel's baby but for sure its definitely better than both with Athlon. Looks conventionally stylish. I am definitely impressed, the low battery life not withstanding… its definitely got me hooked to it. Kudos to Gateway for this...

"Best netbook for the money"

I bought this laptop used on craigslist to bring on a trip. I've been using it and charged it fully and I get over 2 and a half hours! It is perfect to carry around and is actually quite nice to type on. It is fast and worth the money! Highly...

Screen size, battery, performance, windows 7 ability, portable, nice looking,ATI graphics, keyboard size is great!

mouse button (not a problem if you use a usb) no HDMI but didnt really expect it, not much ram to upgrade

"Worst customer service ever. Run Away."

Whatever you do, DO NOT BUY A GATEWAY. This is not a relationship that you want to get into. Gateway is defined by poor quality products and ZERO customer service. ZERO. I purchased an NV Series Gateway laptop and within the first two months had my...

Fancy looking paper weight.

Multiple failures prior to warranty expiring, Multiple after as well. I warn against this product.
