Shane McGlaun, Jan 8th 2010 Discuss [0]

One thing that bothers me about many ultraportable notebooks and netbooks is that they tend to cut the optical drive to save weight and reduce costs. The problem is that there are still times when an optical drive is really needed by many of us. Gateway has unveiled a new ultraportable called the EC14D that packs an optical drive into a small package. Read The Full Story

Gateway EC54 Review – 15.6″ CULV Notebook (EC5409u)

Ewdison Then, Nov 13th 2009 Discuss [1]

It used to be that only the smallest, most frugal of netbooks – paired with huge, 9-cell batteries – could offer the reassurance of a full day away from an outlet. Now, with the advent of Intel’s consumer ultra-low voltage processors, notebooks that wouldn’t look out of place on a regular desk can now boast lengthy run-times too. Into the fray steps the Gateway EC5409u, distinguishing itself not only by virtue of healthy battery life predictions – up to 8hrs, Gateway ambitiously suggest – but a reasonably-sized 15.6-inch display. Check out the full SlashGear review after the cut.

Gateway NV5214u Notebook Review

Ewdison Then, Sep 4th 2009 Discuss [2]

While expensive ultraportables may get the bulk of online attention, the real battle is going on at the budget end of the market, where netbooks, CULV ultra-thins and cheap notebooks are fighting it out for a slice of the lucrative back-to-school audience. Into the fray steps Gateway, no stranger to the segment, and they’ve brought along their NV5214u, very much the desktop-replacing notebook rather than a slick but underpowered netbook. With an MRSP of $499.99 it certainly ticks the budget box; check out the full SlashGear review after the cut to see if it can tick any others.
