Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Sporting an extremely potent Intel Pentium processor, integrated wireless communication and a practical price tag, the Gateway M350 brings desktop quality computing to the midlevel notebook world. Those in search of an ultra-lightweight portable may not warm up to the unit’s average 13.1 by 10.75 by 1.7-inch dimensions or 7.5 pound weight, but the Gateway M350 is a wise choice for most notebook fans.

Driven by a seriously powerful 2.8 GHz Intel Pentium 4 CPU with 512 KB of Level 2 cache to help you blaze through even the most demanding computations, the system is built for raw speed. Gateway has included a generous 512 MB of fast 333 MHz RAM memory to further assist with multitasking and complex applications. The graphics chipset, an integrated Intel with 64 MB of shared (not dedicated) video memory, is equipped to efficiently run most 3-D tasks, but will have trouble smoothly rendering advanced 3-D games and animation applications.

Featuring a combination CD-RW/DVD drive, the Gateway M350 allows you to record and play audio discs, backup important files and experience your favorite movies. Other important amenities include an adequate 40 GB hard disk, a large 15-inch SXGA+ TFT display capable of an impressively detailed 1400x1050 resolution, and a 6-in-1 card reader for interpreting memory and media cards from high-tech devices such as digital cameras and PDAs.

The Gateway M350 incorporates numerous connectivity and expansion options, including a VGA port for external monitors, a parallel "printer" port, two high-speed USB 2.0 ports, a microphone and headphone jack, and an IEEE 1394 port for high-speed transfers to and from data-rich devices such as video cameras. An integrated V.92 56K Modem offers low-speed Internet and email access, and a 10/100 base-TX Ethernet interface permits high-speed network connections and Internet surfing. And for those times when you can’t plug in, the system also features 802.11g wireless capabilities.

Bundled software includes Microsoft’s Windows XP Home Edition, Microsoft Works Suite 2003.

2.0 out of 5 stars Reliability problems, April 26, 2004

By A Customer

There are many features of this laptop that I like. However, it appears to have some serious reliability problems. In the four months that I've owned it, it has already had to be sent in for repairs twice, once for problems with the wireless card and once for a dead LCD monitor. Although it is covered under warranty, this still means being without it for over a week each time and paying almost $50 each time for the special shipping to send it to Dallas.

I would not buy this laptop again.
