The ultra-portable design of the Gateway LT netbook (model LT2001u) is ideal for those on the move who need a quick, easy way to connect to the Internet and stay in touch with family and friends. Weighing less than 3 pounds, it features a 10.1-inch LED-backlit display and an easy typing keyboard. Check e-mail, communicate with friends via VOIP and webcam, share photos, surf the web, listen to music, watch movies and more--wherever you are. It also features a multi-gesture touchpad that enables you to pinch, flick and swirl your fingers for an intuitive navigation of web pages, photos, spreadsheets and more.

The Gateway LT gives you the screen space and storage room you want for your tasks with its 10.1-inch LED-backlit display and 160GB hard disk drive.

Simply flick, swirl and pinch your fingers across the intelligent multi-gesture touchpad to intuitively navigate web pages, media libraries, photos, spreadsheets and more.

The Gateway LT has a luxurious look with a high-polished finish, rounded edges, silver hinges and engraved metallic logo. Plus, its textured palm rest hides fingerprints and wears much better than glossy-finished palm rests--making it as durable as it is chic.

This netbook is powered by the 1.6 GHz Intel Atom N270 processor, which is designed especially for mobile devices and features an innovative hafnium-infused circuitry that reduces electrical current leakage in transistors to conserve energy.

Other features include a 160 GB hard drive, 1 GB of RAM (533 MHz), three USB ports, 5-in-1 memory card reader, and a 3-cell battery for extended use.

It comes preinstalled with the Microsoft Windows XP Home operating system, which offers more experienced users an enhanced and innovative experience that incorporates Windows Live features like Windows Live Messenger for instant messaging and Windows Live Mail for consolidated email accounts on your desktop.

5.0 out of 5 stars classy netbook, November 16, 2009

This review is from: Gateway LT2021u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook - 3 Hour Battery Life (Personal Computers)

I really like this netbook for the following reasons:
1. I like the red color, sets it apart from other netbooks
2. It runs Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 without a hitch, webcam, mic, wireless and all, kudos to the Ubuntu community
3. It is perfect for bringing it to class and taking notes, and even recording the professor. Battery life with wifi off and screen brightness turned down was about 3:30, which isn't bad for such a small netbook with a small battery

Things to consider though:
It is small! Try any 10.1 netbook at a retail store before buying. The size of the screen is a bit of an adjustment, but of course there are several advantages to a smaller screen.

Don't expect to do any gaming short of flash games and solitaire. Of course, if you are looking at netbooks, you should already know this.

anywho, for the price and the style, I have no regrets about this netbook! Buy it! They all have the same relative specs anyways, so I let my vanity get the best of me to get the red one.

This review is from: Gateway LT2021u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook - 3 Hour Battery Life (Personal Computers)

I was delighted to purchase an affordable netbook from a reputable company that came equipped with decent software. I've owned this netbook for a short time and all was perfect until one day it failed to start up. I contacted Gateway to address the problem in hopes of guidance for a simple reboot. I was unable to get an actual person on the phone and the automated messages encouraged correspondence via email. Seeing that the netbook was unusable, contact was difficult. I managed to report the problem but have been jerked around for the past 2 weeks with suggestions that have either failed or do not pertain to the issue. I've had to repeat my situation with each response and still have nothing to show for it. They have been extremely hesitant in fulfilling my request to send my netbook in for analysis or exchanging for a new one. The netbook is still under warranty but has proven useless. This whole ordeal has been absolutely frustrating and I sincerely regret ever purchasing a product from Gateway.

Please note that the product itself was wonderful when in working condition and the problem with my particular netbook does not represent all Gateway products. However, please take into consideration that if you do find a problem or defect with your product that a resolution (if at all) will take a long time.
