Great laptop for the price, albeit plasticky and a bit heavier than competitors (that are generally 2x the price). I have one as my daily driver that I bought for $500 last May. Aside from the plasticky feel/creaks, the only cons I've found are the webcam's pretty weak (low light and lots of artifacting), there's sun glare/reflection, and the included charging cable/port appears to be proprietary.

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.

I got this laptop today.

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.

If anyone is wondering how to get into the boot menu, I found the key combination. When you see the Gateway logo, hold Fn and F7 at the same time.

It was 369 from a third party on Walmart a couple days or so ago.

Anyone know if this or other current gen models still have the extra m2 ssd slot?

Yes, officially the second slot supports SSD only not NVME however the BIOS seemed to suggests it's NVME capable. I put in a M.2 SSD as a second drive for Linux (Mint), which runs fine. I still haven't found a way to select boot between the two drives at start up, so I have go through the BIOS to switch drives.

Anyone figure out how to get them to shutdown properly? Doing it through windows turns off the screen but the fans keep running. I have to hold the power button to get it to truly shutdown.

that is likely windows new fast startup mode which is on by default - treats shutdowns similar to hibernation and takes extra time to get everything set up for a faster power up. it shuts off after 30 seconds to a minute on some of my laptops.

see here on how to disable it if it is causing issues or not working properly: https://www.windowscentral.com/ho...st-startup

Thanks, I'll look into it. I've tried leaving it for a several min, and the fans were still on.

sounds like their implementation is broken or something with the laptop's bios isnt configured correctly - I would make sure it is disabled if that is the case. if that don't fix the issue than yeah, that thing is messed up

Has anyone removed the existing SATA M.2 drive and replaced it with an NVME M.2 drive?

Looking at motherboard pictures, it looks like the included drive is plugged in to an M.2 slot that is soldered to the motherboard.

The extra M.2 slot that is beneath an easy-access panel appears to be a small board with an M.2 slot, connected to the motherboard by a narrow flat ribbon cable.

As far as I can tell, everyone trying NVME drives and failing are using the spare ribbon-connected M.2 slot, not the motherboard-attached slot.

EDIT: There is a YouTube video about this laptop. I found in the comments section where someone specifically said they tried both slots, and neither worked with NVME.

The one I had the fan made a lot of noise and wouldn't stop running. That was regular use not gaming or watching videos or anything.

Am I the only one surprised gateway is still around?

Are these rebrands of another manufacturer?

Acer bought them a long time ago. I believe they are pretty much only sold at walmart now and only make a few different models.
