PSU is like 220 as well so there's not much headroom for a better graphics card, even though there is half-height PCI-E 16x available. No room for another hard disk either, really but 1TB onboard is nice. Core i3 and W7 feel like a really big step up in speed from the C2D and XP Pro on my old Thinkpad. A nice machine for like 400 bucks. Included keyboard was nice enough that I actually have been using it over my old MS one. Mouse sucks though.
Really like this netbook but thought it needed more memory. Tried to install additional memory and machine fails to boot with new memory. I set the CMOS Quick Boot option off but still will not boot. Contacted Gateway but they know nothing about memory upgrades but will talk about issue for $$. New Memory is Patriot 2GB DDR2 PC2 5300 667 Mhz SoDimm CL5 .
Fairly easy to do.. Requires fresh TIM.. Heatsink paste.. 1. Enter the bottom access panel where the ram fan cpu bridge heatsink are located.. 2. Loosen screws.. for Fan heatsink assembly... Remove from laptop.. 3. There is 1 metal screw wingnut lock that holds the metal copper heatsink from cpu to fan assembly.. 4. Remove the wingnut carefully not losing it and separate the heatsink and fan assembly.. 5. Clean fan.. Clean Thermal paste.. 7. Reassemble heatsink fan wingnut assembly.. 6. Reapply...

I like the construction of these Gateways.. Pretty rugged.. Nice Screens!.. Only problem is parts.. The plastic caps which cover monitor hinges aren't the best.. Parts can't really be sourced from Gateway directly (sadly) ...Heatsinks on the m-6750 arent the best.. Fans die.. Early.. Keep them clean..
The tablet functionality is great- I love taking handwritten notes but cannot hold on to a piece of paper for the life of me. This solves my problem beautifully. I have a nearly paper-sized surface to take notes on, and with OneNote I can search through all of my college notes instantly. I do my flash cards with the vista add-on "Ink Flash Cards" and I have unlimited scratch paper for chemistry calculations. I know that it hasn't been a big success but I think Microsoft hit it out...

I have had this for a year of steady use. The color and contrast looks great when I have it side by side with other displays. Because they are now cheaper I think I might get a second one instead of moving on to something else.
Its a pretty good pc its one of the only computers i had that lasted me more than a year so far.. never had any problems.. except when u get the computer its set at 128mb of video and it has hybrid grafics so it goes up to 512mb and because of the 8gb it can go to 3.3gb of total grafics. and it has a wonderful quad core and i Love it !!!

I'm looking for a cheap (did I mention cheap?) netbook to toy with Backtrack 5 on, and I'm wondering what wireless network chipset is used in this netbook so I can look it up and see whether it's on the recommended list or not.
What really sold me on this gateway was the salesman who stated to me that yes it plays bluray. Wow Exactly what I was looking for:-) I got it home and set it up and I was still jumping for joy untill the bluray would not play instantly I was upset because the salesman obviously lied to me just to make a sale i'm very upset about this yes nobody gives a poop that I was givin false information right from when I walked up to this computer. So far still I can not get answers at all of why the...

I came home after a week away and my video would halt and give me colored lines after Windows vista 64-bit boots. It worked fine before. I was wondering if any other users have had hardware failure of the 4850 card? I'm going through tech support but they are trying to attribute it to software and none of there solutions are working. This was inexpensive for the technology (core i7) at the time and I'm hoping that they didn't just shove some shoddy video card in it to save overhead...
