The drivers for these laptops may be obtained at: https://www.gatewayusa.com/support.html

If you don't see your Model listed which was the case for me Click on Instant Chat. I got a live human being. Embarrassment I told her my Model Number was GWTN156-5BL and she said that the drivers are the same as GWTN156-2. I also had to give her my serial number.

Lastly I asked about the SSD slots, and here's the response I got.
Main slot is PCIe/SATA with a max drive of 256
Secondary slot is SATA with a max drive of 256
For a max total of 512

Please post your, if you were able to stuff a bigger drive into either slot.

Good Luck
EG

I've had the blue one for about a month or so and I like it very much. The track pad is garbage, otherwise I don't have much to complain about. Oh, the power button is where "delete" goes so expect to punk yourself a few times.

I like the feel of it, the metal feeling lid helps it not feel super cheap.

I use it for prepping 3d models for my printer, and it's very good at what I ask it to do.

BTW it does charge via USB c despite it saying data only.

Dude. Just click the link and look.

Ryzen 5 3450u (slightly slower speed compare to its bigger brother R5 3500u) is a Zen+ processor.

CPU wise, it's comparable to i5-8250u (Intel skipped the 9000 "u" series and have multiple architecture in their 10th gen - confuse the heck out of everyone).

GPU wise, it is comparable to nVidia MX150 dGPU. It should be able to handle games @ 1080p at lowest settings (or low to med @ 720p).

Quote from OgreDave :
I've had the blue 14in for a while. It's a value laptop. If you can't understand that, feel free to spend more.

My observations:
Charges via USB-C pretty fast depending on your charger.
Foresee is SSD, not NVMe.
I put a NVMe into 2nd slot, no go. Put it into primary - works fine. Put Foresee into 2nd slot, works fine/both at same time.
No 4k via HDMI, only 1080P. At 4k it detects but won't send display.
Fan is kind of loud. I'm ok w/that b/c my work laptop is a freaking jet engine https://static.slickdealscdn.com/ima...lies/frown.gif
Thanks for sharing this info with us. I also tried to install an NVME only SSD into the 2nd M.2 slot but it did not work.

Does anyone know how to bring up the boot menu and BIOS? I tried many common functional keys F12/F10/F2 etc but none of them works to bring up the boot menu.

It's not for gaming.. 350$ not 700$ ryzen 5 16gb NOT A BAD PRICE if you don't want one move on. If they don't like it I'm sure there is a return option. Most people that want to play game buy PS5 ,Xbox Series X,Switch, GAMING laptop/Desktop RTX 3070
This is true, however I would like to see the emulation performance on this machine, with GameCube, PSP, and Dreamcast!

Not in need of any laptop at the moment. Came here just for the comments, expecting to get a laugh from the people asking for premium features from a $349 notebook. Not disappointed at all. Thank you very much, SlickDeals community!

60% sRGB color gamut. This is typical sub $500 laptop screen with 250 nits of brightness.

How is the Builder Quality of this Acer (rebadged as Gateway) laptop.

I have not bought an acer for ages but when did buy them in early 2000 it was the lowest quality.

I would pick HP or Lenovo anytime but very difficult to get at this price point

This isn't Acer brand, nor built by Acer. It's manufactured by a Chinese ODM and slapped Gateway stickers.

What's the wifi on this thing and how's the camera? 1.0mp sounds terribly low quality(?)

Looking at this for nephew in middle school and to be used for school.

Acer, which acquired Gateway in 2007, is bringing back the brand to sell consumer-focused laptops in the US. The products will be sold exclusively through Walmart.

I got this one in December and have been using it as my primary work computer for about a month. So far it works great - supports 2 external monitors and my bad habit of always having 20-30 tabs open. Both the usb c and hdmi connections feel a little loose and it did get stuck in a self repair mode after the latest update but I was able to get it back up and running relatively easily.

They also have another version with an Intel Core i5-1035G1 processor but at $419. How does this compare with the AMD Ryze 5 3450U?
