Gateway sold their brand name to a cheap Chinese junk company. Ridiculous deal or e-waste? In September 2020, Acer revived the Gateway branding on laptops and tablets sold exclusively through Walmart. Acer commissioned Bmorn Technology, a Shenzhen-based technology company, to manufacture and sell these Gateway branded laptops. The new line of laptops is a rebadging of Walmart's existing EVOO-branded laptops. The laptops' sound systems are tuned in partnership with THX.

I previously bought two of these about 3 years ago, one refurb for about $300 and another new from Walmart for $250 but it was the Core-i5 version but that came with 16gb and 512ssd. These are the same chassis. Good for the price but, the screen is super washed, dim, trackpad is awful and keyboard is not good either. Also, I am not sure about the Ryzen version, but both of mine had boot-loop issues with Windows that needed a usb recovery install and complete wipe - I suspect that is the reason for the massive amount of refurbs due to people returning them. My wife still uses hers. I was using the other in the office running two monitors, and it can run with the lid closed - but - the heat buildup caused the trackpad to warp and unseat so its basically a desktop now.

Your track pad that unseated is probably due to the battery swelling. That is what happened to mine (same model) after 4 years of being plugged in. It is easy to find a replacement battery on eBay and replace it. It is not safe to use a laptop with a swollen battery. mine is as good as new after replacing the battery which cost less than $40.

Which one are we talking about? I see N200 laptops (not refurb) being sold for more than the 3500U, or i5-1135G7, and it's slower than both of them.

Bmorn sounds like the emotion you would be feeling owning a laptop like this

You can find nicer quality laptops like HP Elitebooks with similar or better specs and HUGELY better build quality for this price or less on eBay
