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.

You can up the TDP in bios as well for increased performance. This is seriously a thirst trap for the Black Friday Boys out there. Side note: can we start a gang with the same name?

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.

I have one and mine definitely does charge with USB C. I have the 14 in one, BTW. I did read a review before buying that said that there's wouldn't charge over USB C. More than likely defective.

Fingerprint reader?
It's in the description but I don't see one in any of the images.

It's on the corner of the trackpad.

Quote from wildpig1234 :
not bad as long as you don't plan to upgrade anything and don't mind no backlit keys. The m2 slots in the 14in only use msata and cannot use nvme m2 ssd.

At least the type c does have DP and PD. Also HDMI 2.0
M2 slot can't take mSATA SSD as those two are different interface Type. I think what you tried to say that it will only take M.2 SATA III SSD and won't support M.2 PCIe SSD. However, as per various reports, that's not the case and you can replace the M.2 SATA SSD with a PCIe NVMe one.

Quote from wildpig1234 :
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.

You're right on the soldered SODIMM, but you're wrong about the NVME compatibility. I have this laptop (the 14.1"), and the pre-populated m.2 slot is NVME PCIe gen-3 and SATA compatible. The secondary slot is only SATA. I installed an SK Hynix P31 (PCIe 3 NVME) in the primary slot and moved the 512GB drive to the secondary slot. The build quality isn't the greatest (about the same as the cheap Dells), and the screen is the same crap you find in all the other budget Dells and HPs. For the price, you won't find better specs for a new laptop. There's none of the usual bloatware you'd normally find on Dells or HPs, so I didn't have to put a clean install of Windows like I usually do. That said, I'd purchase it with a credit card that offers extended warranty and protection, as customer support is abysmal, from what I've heard. The Gateway name was bought out by Acer, but they license the name to EVOO, who imports these laptops made by Shenzhen Bmorn Technology (a Chinese national company). I bought two of them a few months ago, when they were $250 in-store, and they've been great, but I fully expect my credit card company to have to intervene or reimburse me if something fails.

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 [bestbuy.com]
Just FYI. One guy in the other thread for this deal had trouble with having it plugged in 24/7. The battery expanded and started popping out of the case. This was the original plan of the folks I got this for, but they end up now unplugging and using it more limited plugged in. Definitely does all the basics very well. I had to set it up for them and it worked quite fast and could do multiple things at once at least with no issues. As long as it lasts its a perfect computer for basic use.

Walmart had these for $249 a couple months ago. If you are lucky a local Walmart still has one left. 2 weeks ago I was able to purchase 2 from the local Walmart that were left over. You have to go in person to check because Brickseek is broken now.

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.

Latitude is opposite end of build quality spectrum from a Walmart Gateway. Latitudes are bulletproof.

I agree! I learned my lesson with an HP I purchased earlier this year. Had these same issues. Ended up selling it and getting a Dell.

Why do people complain about their laptops having too much plastic when theyre willingly buying low end stuff?
Half those 1star reviews complain not being real aluminum and that the screen does not look as good as their oled displays.

I was also thinking this to be a good option for intending to always being on the desk with external keyboard and mouse and maybe 2nd monitor, but that anecdote is troubling.

For anyone that picks this up and wants to get the full performance out of it, change the stock TDP from 15W to 30W. This will increase performance but run the battery down faster.

There are several videos online with instructions. Quick, easy and free performance gain.
