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.

I bought one of these 14" refurbs a couple years ago from Walmart and the laptop has held up and been worth it. Wish I'd been able to pick up another one (at 99$ its a no brainer!)

I bought a Gateway laptop, the screen panel fell apart from the frame in less than 1 year. Stay away from this brand.

1080p screen on that i5.$100? How bad could it be?
Surprisingly good on a desk if you can get a good copy that doesn't fell apart. Just don't do laptop things with it. For traveling latitude , elite book and swift are the way for go for sub $300 16/512.
IPS is good, clear for indoors
Keyboard isnt that good. Touchpad very good and big
Cpu and Ram run well with 20-40 taps

Price $300 in late 2021, $200 in 2023

I don't know if that was an insult or a compliment but when 3/4 of the comments here are talking about terrible gateway build quality, you could find a previously refurbished business class laptop that's way better that's probably been dropped 10 times and is in better condition and will probably last 15 years of further abuse no problem

The Intel Core i5-1135G7 is a quad-core, mid-range SoC designed to be used in ultra-light laptops. The Tiger Lake-UP3 processor was introduced in September 2020.

You are correct it is just about five years old.

Agreed, I believe this we got this model, it held up fairly well for my daughter despite being thrown around in a a schoolbag.
I believe no backlit KB though? But for the price...
