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.

Would this one be better for $20 more?
8GB RAM, can it be expanded? It looks to be soldered.

I've had this since April of last year. I've been pleased with it until today. The battery swelled a lot today putting this guy out of commission for 3 weeks. I actually came on SD to research a new laptop and this post was the first I saw.

Out of commission for 3 weeks? Were you able to get it sent for warranty work (Gateway or Walmart extended Wty)? Do you know if any of the other components were compromised due to the battery swelling? Pls keep us posted on what happens. I'm interested in this bargain laptop but hesitant due to the reviews lasting less than a year. Thanks

This is not a bad little unit for the price. I found the keyboard to be a little clicky during setup, but everything else seemed fine. Then my kid took it away and I haven't seen it since ... guess I'll hear about it anything goes wrong.

Tiny right shift key
Does anyone use the right shift key? I only use the left, and I type about 130wpm. I wonder if there is a slight speed benefit to using both over just one? At any rate I would obviously not care about the size of the right shift (or even if it were missing altogether). But everyone's different.

I use dual monitors, what would be a good affordable dock for this? Is it thunderbolt 3? A dell docking station is a good $150-$200 on it's own.

Also with the battery swelling being an issue would it be a bad idea to have this plugged and constantly powered on or charging?

Excuse my ignorance.

I installed from bootable USB drive. Formatted and did a clean install, all bloatware was removed. The drivers were automatically detected, I did not have to install them separately.
Do you have step guide how to do it or link me to a video? Also did you notice a big performance difference between out of box vs fresh install . I did the bios update as well so wondering what boost I will see. Thanks

Been looking to get something cheap to work as a Twitch interface. Been streaming from my PS5, but there's limits on it and don't want to switch fully to PC. Still have a feeling this won't be enough.
I know I'm late but I wanted to say I used this laptop as a steaming PC and it worked well streaming the PS5 to Twitch or Youtube.

I have two of these. I use a cheap -$10 usb C hub that has one hdmi port, and use the laptops hdmi port to run dual monitors. No battery swelling issue with over 14 months use

I bought this last year.

Great key specs.

Bad keyboard, bad touchpad, fingerprint reader didn't work, screen was pretty good.

For some reason, youtube 4k/hdr streamed great on the screen, but when I went to HDMI out, it'd drop about half of the frames per stats for nerds. Different computer connected to the same HDMI cable and tv, no dropped frames.

The shallow keyboard, touchpad that felt "loose" and "crunched" when you tried long pressing it, and the fail on driving an external monitor made me return it without hesitation.

So if you're going to use it with a wireless kb/mouse, you aren't counting on 4k/60 output from the HDMI, and you can't afford more...it'd be good.

I don't but its quite simple:
1) Go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/s.../windows11 and click "Download now" below the 2nd option ("Create Windows 11 Installation Media"). Insert a USB stick and follow the on-screen instructions.

2) Login to windows on your laptop, hold the SHIFT key down on the keyboard, then hit Windows Start -> Power -> restart. Keep the SHIFT button pressed for ~1 minute until Windows boots into recovery mode.

3) On the recovery screen, select "Use a device" option and follow on-screen instructions to re-install Windows. You can format all the drives during the screen asking you to select a drive, that way you will have a 512GB single drive too install windows into. The installation will create recovery partitions on its own as needed (so you will loose ~200 MB or so to it).

Edit:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZbKNiKb_Qc is close enough to these steps, you may be able to follow it for a clean install. At ~6:32 mark in the video when you see the list of drives available, I press "D" on the keyboard to delete all the drives so there is a single entry remaining. Then I hit "F" to format that drive and proceed to the next step.

The process from that point takes an hour or so, depending on the speed of your USB drive.

I did not notice any speed-up with clean install (not as much as the BIOS changes atleast), but I prefer that since when I create new users it starts from a clean state with no bloatware.

Great specs and feels like good quality but mine is defective, will not enter windows during setup. Also has a proprietary charger rather than charging by USB so am returning it and looking for a better option.

Yeah I wish it just charged by usb-c. Laptop seems ok haven't done much other than boot up and windows updates so far. Mine is on 10 debating updating to 11.
