I got it few months ago on $499 sale ...

+ perfect screen size (13'' is not too small, not too big)
+ Windows Vista works great on this laptop, no issues at all
+ with 3GB ram it's really fast, I use VMWARE a lot and it just rocks
+ looks very nice (very unique)
+/- OK keyboard, could be a bit better but overall works good
+/- round mouse and the mouse key are not the easiest to use
+/- overall size is good, but not that great in comparison to my old IBM laptop
- gets pretty hot on the left-back bottom side
- does not have hard drive indicator so you really don't know if the HDD is reading/writing
- CD ROM can be loud sometimes


I did not test the battery, but I did not notice any short use, I am guessing 3-4 hours use is normal.


Overall for $499 it's great laptop. Not sure if I would pay more than $600.

Overall, great computer. Had it for about a month now with Windows 7 and it runs perfectly. Keyboard is a bit iffy at times but certainly not a dealbreaker. Great for a student like myself who is always on the move. For this price, this is definitely a five star computer!

I bought it 6 month ago....... my wifi card didnt work.......horrible support, they didnt fix anything.. I changed the wifi card.... but it could get to work a 100 %......
Battery life is poor.......the keyboard its looks and felt cheap. Performance it could be better, but it crash a few times.. probably vista........ round mouse pad sucks.....
Pros...... it is compact, overall nice looks...... the integrated camera is nice..... the control for music is nice too.
I think... if I hadnnt the problem with the wifi card... i would give it a 4 star.....
My last gateway laptop was better............... m505

+Great price. Unbeatable for all the stuff it comes with

- touch pad for the mouse freezes. SO annoying. I really hate that part. It does heat up a lot on the side. I always think about returning it but i cant find any other laptop that cmpares to the value for the money. Im gonna try to return it for the same laptop.

Like this laptop. Nice features. Wish i could have picked out extras like bluetooth.

Laptop gets really hot on left side.

Besides that, love it.

Pro's & Con's:

Pro's:
Nice looking
Webcam is good with fun things to do with it.

Con's:
HORRIBLE SCREEN; I once tripped over the cable and it fell and part of the laptop fell off and then it fell again and the whole screen cracked and went white.
The system shut down a few times and we had to get it fixed. Then it happened again.
Can get extremely hot.

I would not recommend this laptop for anybody!
