2.0 out of 5 stars System is Amazing, DREADFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE, January 23, 2010

This review is from: Gateway LT2041u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook - Over 8 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) (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.

I love this Ruby Red Netbook with 9+ of Battery Life with Windows 7 Starter.

I have had this computer for almost 2 months and I love it so much. It is more than I had hoped for and it has a 250 harddrive and after loading everything under the sun...including books, music, pictures, etc. I haven't even dented the 250 bytes.

I recommend this particular netbook computer and the price is amazing. Who would think you could pay way under $400 to have a computer that does wheelies around anything ever before that I've purchased and used. If it ever breaks down...it's not a financial loss like my last laptop was.

This review is from: Gateway LT2044u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Over 8 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) (Personal Computers)

When I first purchased this product about a month ago I was unaware that when it comes with Windows 7 Starter that you would have to fork over $70.00 to have the full version installed... The reason for this is since this Netbook does not have in internal DVD/CD drive you are required to use an external.. BUT... You cannot use the external DVD/CD player until you purchase the upgrade to the Full version of Windows 7... If i would have known this i would have used the money to purchase a larger quicker machine.. Don't get me wrong for the small size is great and looks sharp, it is just that i had to upgrade and support Microsoft just a little bit more... Thanks Bill.
Overall even after the purchase of the upgrade i am satisfied with my purchase and would recommend if you need a small devise that you can nearly fit into your pocket, if you can adjust to the 90% keyboard and 10.1"screen. Hope this helps...
Oh and one other thing, the battery last a good while, i would say with normal surfing and word docs open around 5.5 - 6 hours.... Not bad for something this small.
