Extra Technical Details - I have purchased 5 refurbs of this model. Here are some interesting tidbits:
- Link to drivers and BIOS on previous deal thread here.
- It weights exactly 3 lbs 9.4 oz on my postal scale (official specs on Walmart's page say 4 lbs)
- The BIOS ships with conservative PL1/PL2 power levels. If you increase them modestly you'll see a significant gain in multi-core performance. See my instructions and results here.
- All of the refurb's I've bought have the Rev 1.2 of the motherboard (see my post with pic here). This has an upgraded WiFi (Intel WiFi 6 AX201) - I posted detailed WiFi tech info include iperf performance here.
- Lots more tech details here, including SMART data for internal SSD, SPD data for DRAM, and battery info
- I've seen three different memory manufacturers in the mobos for the soldered 16GB. Some had different bank layouts but all performed similarly. All are dual-channel.
- BIOS is completely unlocked, with tons of developer-level details you've probably never seen exposed in a BIOS. Many don't apply to this system (such as NVMe and TB3) since it's a generic BIOS meant for lots of different systems.
- Undocumented shortcut for BIOS boot menu: Fn+F7
- By default the system is configured for Modern Standby (S0). I despise Modern Standby (reasons [medium.com]) and prefer S3 Suspend-to-RAM sleep. The system will go into S3 if you disable Modern Standby (instructions here [microsoft.com]) but will seemingly hang with a blank screen when you come out of standby. I found a workaround - press the LCD/F1 key (without Fn) twice after exiting standby - that will cycle the display to external and internal. On the second press the screen will come back alive.
- The included 512GB M.2 SATA drive is a no-name brand that performs reasonably well. Full IDENTIFY details here.
- By default the keyboard's F1-F12 keys are configured for their Fn equivalents (ie, display brightness, sound volume, etc...). There is no way to change this behavior, so if you use the native F1-F12 keys a lot you'll be annoyed about always having to press Fn+Function key. You should be able to use a third-party software program to remap the keys.
- It's easy to accidentally disable the touchpad because it's the Fn function mapped to the ESC key. If you ever find the touchpad suddenly not working it's likely because you hit the key.
- Be sure to run memtest86 [memtest86.com] for the four passes (free edition) on these. One of the refurbs I bought failed on the second pass with lots of memory errors.
- Since the BIOS is fully unlocked it has a nice feature that lets you disable each SATA port individually. I use that for a clean dual-boot setup, with Windows on the included SSD and Linux on an SSD I installed in the 2nd M.2 slot.
- The two M.2 slots are SATA only - they do not support NVMe drives.
- It runs well as a Chromebook using the CloudReady distribution [neverware.com]. However there is one behavior you need to be aware of. By default Chrome OS will enter S3 standby if the system has gone input idle, typically after 10 minutes. When you come out of standby you'll see a blank screen, same as I described for the S3 behavior for Windows/Linux. To bring the screen alive again press the LCD key twice (F1 without Fn key). If you prefer you can disable Chrome OS's standby behavior - click on bottom-right tray, then gear icon for settings, then Device, then Power, and change "When idle" from "Standby" to either "Turn off display" or "Keep display on", for both "While charging" and "While on battery".

Review on Notebookcheck [notebookcheck.net].
Notables:
- Glossy screen
- There's an access panel for a second M.2 slot. The whole bottom is also removable. Slots are SATA.
- RAM and Wifi are soldered.
- The Enter key doesn't trigger reliably unless you hit it dead-center.
- The function keys default to their alt functions. No way to change the default to F1-12, according to Q&A on Gateway's product site.
- The review says the USB-C port can charge the laptop, but Q&A on Gateway's site says it can't, so who the hell knows.

Don't look to the laptop (generally) for this question, look at the processor.
My 1135g handles League of Legends at 120fps, so hearthstone should be no problem

It can charge via usb-c; mine does. I got the refurb and it works flawlessly except when I got it, it didn't come with a charger. Fortunately I had an extra apple usb-c charger (65w) and cable sitting around that saved the day.
