Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am so impressed with this little Gateway Netbook.I had no trouble registering my name as a user without a password (see previous review).Immediately, it recognized my wireless network and asked my if I wanted to join it.All I had to do was enter my Encryption Code and I was online!I also bought the Anytime 7 Upgrade and loaded it with ease.It did take about an hour (instead of 10 minutes) because there were 40 new upgrades to the Home Edition to download.It proceeded without difficulty and restarted itself.
I had no trouble getting used to the slightly smaller keyboard and the display is incredibly bright with excellent resolution.To save battery, the system dims the display if unused for a couple of minutes, but re-brightens as soon as you touch a key or the keypad.It also quickly goes to "sleep" to save battery power, but comes back after touching a key and clicking on your user name.
I also bought a wireless Logitech mouse to go with it.The transmitter is very tiny and fits into the USB 2.0 port of which there are three.Two more are left over for flash drives or whatever such as a CD/DVD drive.
The whole unit with the 3 cell battery is incredibly lightweight at only 2.6 lbs. and feels like a feather in your hand.I am looking forward to learning more about Windows 7 and surfing the net with this tiny netbook!
