I'm guessing Evoo is licensing the trademark.
In September 2020, Acer granted Gateway branding and licensing rights to Bmorn Technology, a Shenzhen based technology company to manufacture and sell Gateway branded laptops and tablets via Walmart where these devices are not designed, produced, or manufactured by Acer. Instead it's rebadging their existing EVOO branded laptops
Walmart prefer Gateway name than evoo, who is evoo? gateway.. ah the most trusted brand well in the past and already gone....
Walmart selling evoo gateway laptop started in late 2020, it was Motile in the past,
that is my understanding....

-Very happy with the speed so far for day-to-day use.
-Screen is matte, decent quality, not very bright. Someone said 250 nits in another thread, but not sure.
-4+ hours battery streaming 1080p video.
-Keyboard and pad seem fine, but others have complained about the pad.
-Speakers have very little volume.
-Case has some flex if you pick it up with one hand.
-Does not charge via USB-C.
-Added a 1TB M.2 SATA hard drive to the expansion port at the bottom. Super simple, has its own access panel. Expansion port doesn't seem to recognize NVMe M.2 drives.

The fingerprint scanner and extra RAM (HP shipped with 8 GB, but had 4 GB x 2 in 2 slots) are nice though.

I tried the demo of Outriders, a while back, just to see if it could even do it. It actually did run it. It was about 15-20fps, but I was surprised it worked at all. I've had this laptop for around 5 months. You can do more with it than you would expect for such a low-end device.
However, at this price and these features, you're going to be giving up something, and my guess it that something is "durability". I no longer buy low end laptops for family members from any brand, because they tend not to last too long without something breaking, which is usually proprietary and not worth fixing. This is going to be cheaply made and easily damaged, and if you're absolutely stuck and can't afford more right now, sure, go for it, with the assumption that in 2 or 3 years you'll need to replace it; not because it's obsolete but because it's cheaper to replace than fix.
