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.

The hardware is pretty quick.
i5 is a good processor
16GB RAM - I've seen less in laptops that cost more.
2 RAM sticks, running in dual channel mode
512GB M.2 is nice fast storage
that should pull them all up. When I was there earlier, they had blue and green available, but black and pink were OOS.
If they're in stock, you'll see an 'add' button on the page.
These seem to be just returns that they MIGHT have tested for power on, but reading from the DOA reviews some don't even do that, or come on and the fan never shuts off.
That and lots of reviewers complaining about the noname sata SSD dropping dead.
I'm just sick of my cheap laptop cases that the plastic always seems to crack years down the road.
You know that Gateway is the cheap of the cheap and you get what you pay for... sometimes.

Curious if these were returned quickly or used for a few weeks.

Plenty of usb 3.1 ports for external drives, nothing for internal expansion. Some have 16GB and 512GB ssds, but the prices on those aren't linear at all.
Come with win 11 pro, the intel ax201 network/bluetooth, etc. Soldered lppdr4 like this.
Those also DO run things like Libreelect. This i5 is considerably faster, but those other ones are a good bit cheaper.
The N5105 is 11th gen. Around 4000 on passmark.
Three different form factors. A cube around 3" on a side, flat box, and slim flat box. The cube thermal throttles while the others don't.
Also worth noting that we're sneaking into the Mac Mini space when its on sale. Its been for $499 at aafes and $550-560 elsewhere like Costco.
Search for N5105 on Amazon. You'll see them. The 12th gen boxes are coming around soon, so they're on sale. There is also a Gigabyte barebones n5105 at newegg for $206 and an Intel n5105 nuc barebones on amazon for $270. Those last two need 2 sticks of ddr4-3200 laptop sodims and an nvme ssd. But at least you'd have an nvme drive instead of m.2 sata.
Same core count as the i5. Just lower clock speeds and no hyperthreading.
Avoid ones like the 5095. Not enough graphics EUs. 16 instead of 24.
