It's way better than a Chromebook. Make sure you modify the power limit and graphics settings in bios (watch ETA Prime youtube vid) to double the performance. You can't beat this value for the cpu and 16gb (soldered) ram and 500gb m2 ssd. Free upgrade to Win11. Limited bloatware. Refurbished units pop up on walmart for ~$260 of the 14" model.
I bought the 15" model last October for $300 (has numeric keypad), works great. The webcam is poor quality. Speakers are okay. The screen is a decent ips (no issues with it falling out like some reported in previous deal threads). They keyboard is nothing special. A tad heavy but it uses metal/limited plastic so build quality is average. The battery only lasts ~3hrs unplugged w battery saver browsing web/watching youtube/movies.
It has older wifi 5 & bt 5. One thing I noticed though is my HDMI output can only do 4k at 30fps, not 60fps so not really watchable. 1080p HD looks fine hooking up to TV though. I'm not sure about the usb-c output resolution.
It has a hatch in the back to add a backup m2 ssd drive (Leven JM600 1tb $40 off amazon).
Same price during Christmas season, several times. I bought in December & am pleased. Of note, problems w/ fingerprint reader was mentioned by several people & I affirm that. Repped.

How is the quality of the webcam in your experience? Thanks.

Had the refurb of this for a while. Stout processor, good sized SSD, and enough RAM to open up plenty of tabs without grinding to a halt. Not perfect, but for the cash, I've been super happy. Build quality is not IBM Thinkpad, sure, and there are shortcuts taken (the power connector is also iffy and i worry that it would break easily) but overall a good deal!

Are Gateways still a crappy brand, or did they improve their quality after the acquisition?
To be honest, they were much better before... although they were also more expensive. I have this laptop, purchased last year - quality is aligned with pricing, which is to say low. But I'm not complaining - I got what I paid for to let my 5 year old watch videos.

I have this laptop and I like it, but the camera is poor like most laptops. Invest in an external one.
