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).

Just to let everyone know the ssd drive is sata. Only 550mb per sec transfer.
Given that it's still very snappy. Have 2 of them and work just fine.

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.

If anyone compares this with chromebook I'd say get your facts straight. Chromebook is more powerful these days but has a rigged end of life schedule by google chrome. It is between 5-8 years. By the time you get a good deal off old chromebook it should have about a year or two left. Now if u are in the market for a Gateway computer u will probably use it for low performance low wattage function wayy past 8 years. Or at least not plan an expiry date on your purchase.

Will this work with my Dell USB-C thunderbolt docking station?
It should "work" as a USB-C hub but don't confuse that with it having Thunderbolt capabilities or performance. This laptop doesn't have Thunderbolt so you'd kinda be wasting your dock.

You can not get a Huawei laptop with this price. A rule of thumb is laptops made by reputable phone manufactures are way better and fancier, and more expensive
Do you have a link for that.

Ordered the black color one.

Does anyone have a list of drivers I should download if I plan to do a fresh Windows 11 install from scratch? I don't want to bother debloating the stock install.
Also any recommendation for cheap M2 drive to upgrade the SSD?

Bought one and I already set it up. It works fast and just enough for the wife to use Word.

I'm impressed with this laptop. Made the recommended bios updates and after all the Windows updates and upgrade to Windows 11, it works great. This is a good deal imo.

Just received my refurb of this laptop. So far so good. Machine has been zippy. The trackpad you have to deliberate with clicking but not so bothersome to me. Feels little heavier than my other 14" in laptops but not significantly so. I'm updating windows but just wondering if anyone every upgraded the wifi to an AX card? If so, was it difficult?
Did you ever figure out the answer to upgrading the wireless networking card?

I just did a fresh install of Windows 11 using a USB created with the above link. Yay, no more bloatware. Some tips
  1. This laptop seems to lack the F12 (on power up) to get into the boot menu so you need to go into the BIOS Boot page and disable the internal boot SSD so you can boot from the USB Drive
  2. The track pad does not work with the WIndows installer. You can either use a USB mouse or use the TAB key like I did. Press TAB to move between selections. Enter or Space Bar to "click" the selection.
  3. After booted into Windows, press WINDOW Key, type "windows update" and select "Check WIndows Updates" and afterwards, the trackpad will work
  4. I don't know if I'm imagining this, but speakers sound low with the default Windows install. They get louder after I installed the Audio driver from gatewayusa.com
Thanks for the details. Were you able to re-use the windows 11 key that was used on the OEM install?

Have to say, not a fan of this. I have it. Mouse is very klunky and difficult to use. So-so battery life. The screen is nice, the speakers are awful. I realize it's a $300 machine. It was probably leftover parts from a Chromebook that they beefed up slightly for Windows usage. Still, for a little more money I'd rather use something a little nicer.

No keys are needed for re-installation of Windows 10/11 if the computer is already activated. During the first activation, a HASH is calculated using, as input, attributes of the motherboard and BIOs (there maybe more input, but not sure) and this HASH is stored in an online activation server. During installation, the HASH is looked up from the server and if it's found, then Windows is activated automatically.

Some info here:
https://www.zdnet.com/article/mic...indows-10/
https://answers.microsoft.com/en-...f4b61677a6

You can check the activation status by hitting WINDOWS Key, type 'windows activ' and select 'see if windows is activated'

I received mine today and it was dead on arrival. I charged it for over an hour just to be sure it wasn't a dead battery and it still wouldn't turn on. The charging light was also on so it definitely was charging. Not sure what else to add here but thought it would be helpful for anyone on the fence. Walmart also did not pack it well. They basically threw it in a huge Walmart box and added a few air packs to help "pad" it which I'm sure did absolutely nothing to protect it from being tossed around by FedEx.

That's how mine was packed too and it was ok. It took me a few tries the first time to turn it on too. I never figured out was the problem. Make sure to hold the power button for a few to turn on.

Now i totttally agree with you dude. This is a great deal but to be fair.. At $300> if you only used it for 1 year at $100 a year, I wouldn't really expect more.
