Agreed on good features, but Beware of cpu naming conventions nowadays!

not a great processor. It is good enough imo but effectively 2 generations old.

Just got mine.

1. Can confirm it has a touchscreen.
2. Laptop was in a nice zippered soft carry sleeve
3. Laptop looks & feels brand new. No signs of use at all. I went over every part of it, and the only thing I could find was a tiny hairline scratch next one of the feet.
4. Very fast, especially compared to my old 6-gen i5 Thinkpad.
5. Has some bloatware, need to uninstall.

Overall, great value for the money. Very satisfied.

This has alot of great features: USB C charging, 512GB SSD, 16GB RAM, a very solid processor, and a touchscreen. Great deal for the price!

Quote from stegall :
Several people of late here on SD have mentioned problems with their Gateway from last year, inc. at least 1 which went kaput in just some 2-4 months w/ no response from the manufacturer after his notification. For the nonce at least, mine performs well, but after hearing all the problems folks have had, I would not buy another 1.
Our Gateway from last year's deal is a piece of junk. Mouse pad clickers get stuck, down and left arrows on keyboard stopped working, had ghosting issues, sounds volume at max is low and screen brightness sucks! Casing cracked easily so it's barely holding together. Gateway support is horrible. They stopped responding. WILL NEVER BUY GATEWAY AGAIN.

As stated, mine is fine, thus far. So many, many people on SD have been "stuck" when purchasing them this time last year that I have decided to bash Gateway anytime I see a deal on such posted here on SD. Starting right now, I intend to check specifically for a Gateway posting most every time I come to SD, at least for a while. Perhaps others should consider doing likewise, so we will perhaps induce others not to buy Gateway.

How is the portability and usability of this, say for school to use OneNote (combined typing and stylus)? I have an old 15.6" ASUS and it's bigger than I'd like to carry around constantly, but manageable.

This is also 15.6" , size is the same. It's a matter of thickness and weight (which is in specs). Don't think this will be much smaller. But if you are looking for portability, you might want something smaller.

Got mine today. One dead pixel middle of screen seen when dark background present. It lights green, not actually dead. What should I do?

Try this. If you are lucky, you will get it working. Otherwise it's just suck and you can probably just return due to defect.

Touchscreen, free case, and USB-C charging was unexpected. Almost unheard of at this price.

It does feel a bit plasticy and cheap when typing and using the touchpad, but if that bothers you, you can spend 3x as much on something else.

Very capable Windows 11 device at Chromebook pricing.

I don't think I saw it mentioned but the 16gb ram is soldered and there's no way to add any more memory.

I had thought I saw somewhere that it was upgradable to 32gb.

Just got my laptop today. Overall happy with the purchase and it's an amazing deal for the price. Just was not aware that laptops do not come with a webcam by default. Would have been great to have one. But, all in all a very slick deal.

Update : It does have a webcam !!
