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

Featured Comments

I think you just answered your own question.
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.

Anyone have an issue where the computer says something like "it ran into a problem and has to restart"?

Anyone has to plug the laptop to the power source for it to turn on after leaving it for a while. Even when it has full charge, if I close the screen and come back later, it won't turn on until I have to plug it in.

Tested laptop out on game and it's a bit meh but that is expected. However, after boosting TDP to 25 with Ryzen Controller, I got nearly 50% boost in FPS. The laptop does heat up as expected after couple hours of gaming but still under 85c. Already ordered a laptop cooling fan and MX-5 thermal paste to help with that. This is becoming a fun side lil project.

Can you say what you did to get the ryzen controller working? It keeps giving a ryzenadj error. Does that need to be be installed separately?

On another note a 512GB SK Hybix p31 nvme did not work and was not detected in either slot.

I just bumped up the TDP to 35 watts to see if any changes would take hold. That's when it gives me the ryzenadj error.

I'm running Windows 10 LTSC if that matters. Maybe they stripped out somethung I need?

From what I read, the max TDP one should bump up to is 25 for this laptop. Maybe try that and see if it hold.

As for Win 10 LTSC, that I'm not sure since I just run the version that came with the laptop.

I tried it today and I got ryzenadj error unable to apply .

There is a dependency missing. It turns out ryzenadj needs Visual C++ Redistributable library 2015.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/d...x?id=48145

Also, he said he set TDP to 25W but I think he meant 35W. The cTDP range is listed as 12-35W. It seems the laptop is set at 25W so if you want more power you need to set it higher than 25W.

https://www.amd.com/en/products/a...en-5-3450u

UPDATE: Tried 30W and it is producing a lot of heat but it is doable. I will consider repasting in the future. Found a good video explaining the OC settings. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brKFHhQi6Sk&t=0s

Yes, m.2 SATA SSD drives work fine however m.2 NVME SSD compatibility is poor.

One person reported they got 256GB Samsung Pro 960 NVME working on primary port only but other NVME drives do not seem to work.

Anyone would you please help take a picture of the AC Adapter? VIPOutlet sent me a SAW30A-120-2000U Adapter with the GWTN156-1BK laptop. This adapter has a 12V output therefore it does not charge the laptop (needs 19V input voltage). They sent me the same wrong adapter as a replacement, and now they don't respond to me after I told them they sent me the wrong adapter again.
Once I know the model number of the correct AC adapter, I can buy one myself from somewhere else.
My laptop is out of battery now without a charger, so please help. Much appreciated.

Is that the Intel model? If so, you can charge the laptop over usb-c, which is much easier to find and probably cheaper. Any 45w usb-c PD charger should work.

I can't find anywhere where you can buy exact replacement, including the support website. However this may help.

According to this https://gatewayusa.com/support.html you can ask for a replacement if you hear buzzing sounds from your adaptor. Just email to [email protected] and ask for a replacement or ask for a way to buy one. I suspect that they are likely to send you one for free because they are not selling them separately. Good luck and let us know how it goes.
