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).
Given that it's still very snappy. Have 2 of them and work just fine.

The spec is amazing for the price, but it's extremely delicate.
The lid is metal, but the entire case is plastic and very flexy, to the point that the touchpad doesn't work if you rest your wrists on the chassis. The plastic screen protector cracks if you sneeze on it.
Other problems: screen doesn't get very bright, and as mentioned, it's somewhat throttled out of the box.
On the good side, Gateway support actually fixed a problem I had with the webcam. I was shocked!
Only recommended if you're very easy on your stuff and don't move it much. If you travel a lot or your current laptop has dents in it, you'll break it quickly.
Go back 10 years ago same story
There is a lot of light leakage.
If you wish to upgrade it to Windows 11, you must be signed into a Microsoft account that you can create easily by creating a free Outlook e-mail account. I thought I would try to go the Yahoo e-mail account route, since you can create a Microsoft account with any e-mail, but Yahoo requires you verify it with an actual phone number (no Google Voice numbers allowed), so I quickly abandoned that plan.
After you've logged into the Microsoft account on the laptop, go to Windows Update and refresh "Check for updates" and soon you should receive the update to actually download and install Windows 11.
IMPORTANT: You need to understand that Windows 11 currently has an issue where it will not allow you to log into the OS after this update, for some reason. You will click on "Sign in" and it will NOT go beyond that, occasionally reverting to the initial splash screen. So please be aware of this! In order to get around this annoyance, follow this video, which didn't work for me but I will tell you what did I had to end up doing...

At the time of 1:07 in the video, I had to choose Reset this PC in order to finally be able to get into the Windows 11 OS.
I also highly recommend this fantastic bluetooth mouse that does not require batteries since you can charge it via USB. If you purchased the black laptop, the black mouse goes perfectly with it as it even has the same feel the laptop cover has!

If you need to install Office, and not just a trial subscription, you can go to Kinguin.net [kinguin.net] since they deal in grey market software (which is totally legitimate) and purchase a Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2021 installation for around $40! In order to download it, you will need to first log into your Microsoft account on the laptop and then enter the provided Retail Key at the prompt. This software will always thereafter be associated with your Microsoft account in case you need to reinstall it in the future.

Only thing I did was I fresh installed Windows 11.
I tested the built-in HDMI port and it can do 3840x2160@60Hz and 4096x2160@60Hz. With USB-C to HDMI adapter, I was only getting 3840x2160@30Hz and 4096x2160@24Hz. I think it was because my adapter is HDMI 1.4b. If you use a USB-C to HDMI 2.0 or USB-C to DP, then you should get 60Hz at 4K (and maybe 8K with DP?)
