That being said, the laptop can charge via USB C and can handle dual-monitor displays via a usb c hub. Iris graphics can also handle most current indie games, diablo, fortnite, etc. non-gaming battery life is ~5hrs and brightness is comparable to a Kindle Fire HD outdoors.
First thing I did was run MemTest86, it passed. Then I backed up the SSD with Macrium Reflect before erasing the drive.
I removed the bottom panel. There are two really tiny rubber pieces that are easy to misplace. They are for the microphone holes on the left and right of the laptop. My motherboard revision is 1.1 with the AC wireless chip and two SK Hynix memory chips.
I replaced the 512GB M.2 SATA drive with a 1TB M.2 SATA drive (Silicon Power A55). Then I installed the original 512GB drive in the easy-to-access secondary slot. Interestingly, after I did this, the 512GB would no longer appear in Diskpart. It would appear in UEFI but disappear shortly after. The fix was to go in to UEFI (ESC key when you see the Gateway logo), go to the Chipset/PCH-IO Configuration/SATA And RST Configuration, and change "SATA Port 0 DevSlp" to "Disabled". For some reason, it didn't matter that DevSlp was enabled on the other port.
I clean installed Windows 11 to the 1TB drive. I let Windows install all available updates. Everything seems to function perfectly without any need to install drivers from Gateway.
The screen is beautiful! Bright for indoors. The touchpad works great. Fingerprint authentication is surprisingly fast. The fan is quiet during normal use. No hinge creaks or anything that feels cheap. This thing is a great value.

That said, I got the refurb for $329 and it's a great machine. Super snappy, screen looks nice. Would be perfect if it had a backlit keyboard and better trackpad.
