This is not a slick deal... 4+ year old CPU (and accompanying tech like Bluetooth 4.2) and a horrible screen. You can easily get better performance at this price with a 12th Gen Core i3; the only good spec is the 16GB RAM.

You forgot to mention the 1TB SSD. For $350 it's not a bad deal.
FWIW, bought Gateway almost a year ago via SD and so far all is well except the fingerprint reader went on the blink early-on (and others on SD said likewise). Of course, ain't no small # of folks on SD bought Gateway last year and have had problems galore, broken hinges to outright kaput. Me, I probably would not buy at $350. (paid $279. + tax for i5 11th generation w/ 16 RAM & 512 SSD, 14").
Too many folks here on SD have been screwed over by Gateway's failure to honor its warranty. Postings this time last year were numerous as to Gateway laptops. I bought 1 and thus far it's OK, but I "feel" for those that went kaput or had some other major problem. Henceforth, I intend to bash every Gateway posting, so as to warn others that they are perhaps gonna get screwed over. With that in mind, I'd appreciate any Gateway posting by SDers, so I/we can bring the proper attention to Gateway and its products.
