I own the 14" and have commented on it being a great laptop previously. It's still going strong after 1.5 years as my primary personal laptop and handles PD and DP (dual monitor via a hub) via USB C just fine. Yes it is clunky, but there really isn't anything comparable in the price range for the specs that you're getting.
Gateway is cheap/low end brand
Was interested in this until I saw reviews. Why do so many complain about the screen coming off??? No thanks.

Quote from skippo :
The pre-install ssd slot will accept nvme. So if you need to up grade, move the 512gb to the expansion slot. There is a video on u-tube with a review and a ssd upgrade. I own this and has been using it since November last year. Nothing breaks so far and it boots up fast. The only downside I see is it does not charge with usb-c.
Is this only for 15.6" model or also true for 14.1" model ?

I read the Q&A on gateway's site and it says "The GWTN156-7 unfortunately does not support NVMe M.2, only SATA" and "the GWTN141-10 does not support NVMe SSD" (for both these models, they say NVMe is not supported)

If it's this video it's showing the 10th Gen

This video shows the 11th Gen and it does show NVME settings in the BIOS so now I'm curious.

Configuration for price is great. Worth a try. Lowest was in store pickup only for $249.

So you can't expand the memory?
No sodimm slot

no nvme support in any of the m2 slots

depending on exactly what is your need or want for expandability. gateway does not support any nvme m2 so you are stuck with m2 sata which will likely not have capacity bigger than 1TB. Also the dell 7390 non2in1 has one sodimm so you can upgrade to 32GB ram. Also dell has backlit keys

The only real advantage the gateway has over the dell is that the cpu is a bit faster and the gpu also def a bit faster but still not fast enough for a lot of the newer game. But then again you are not getting either of these to play games. The gateway also has HDMI 2.0 whether as dell only have HDMI 1.4

I still would lean a bit more toward dell, but then again it's a close call.

Only use is to be a machine to use when i dont feel like using my phone or tablet.
These are the specs of the dell i got:
Dell Latitude 7390 2-in-1 2-In-1, 1x Intel Core i5 Quad (i5-8350U) 1.70 GHz, 16 GB RAM, 512 GB HDD, No Optical, Intel Integrated Graphics, Backlit Keyboard, Windows 10 Professional

judging by reviews, i may just stick with my dell, it cost less, and has a better build quality. plus touch and backlit keyboard.

I have the 14" and the fingerprint scanner is built into the upper left corner of the mouse pad. It's a little square you can hardly notice. That said, I spent about 2 minutes trying to get it to work with no luck. Probably just my lack of effort.

I bought this last time it was on sale. Easily upgraded to windows 11. I have had it about 3 months now and so far a great buy.

Quote from HallJ :
Please elaborate? Is this a 12th gen & a decent value or will performance drop off after a few updates?

I'm pretty sure this is an 11th gen cpu. I just purchased this for my parents. This laptop will be used as a "PC tower replacement" for them - always plugged into a monitor and power supply with mouse and KB. This laptop will do all the YouTube, streaming, and email tasks very well.

I would recommend you to get this laptop if you want 12th gen and a bit of gaming. https://www.bestbuy.com/site/hp-v...lsrc=aw.ds

People keep saying that but there is a section in the BIOS for NVME settings.
Do you own one? When you go to the BIOS what options do you see?
Weird for there to be an NVME section in the BIOS if they're not supported.

Bios appears completely unlocked so there are probably several settings that do nothing. I tried the nvme setting and ssd did not work in either slot. Good thing with unlocked bios is the ability to bump up voltage on video (there is a link to a video on one of the many threads for this laptop on SD).
Good laptop for the money if you get a good one, also depends on what other deals this BF. I got a 14" refurb last Nov.
