Gateway LT2114u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook
Overview
Good device, has everything that I expected. Just got this netbook yesterday and tried it in class today, I would say it worked pretty well.
Pro
Bluetooth: I am going to sync my phone with this netbook through bluetooth to share calendars, tasks, etc. (Haven't got this part worked out yet, but I am confident it will work eventually.)
Screen: Very bright
Speaker: Not bad
Recover program: Very good. Gateway has its own recovery software to restore this netbook to factory default rather conveniently. (yes, I messed up the netbook the first night after some experiments with different programs X)
Battery: Pretty good, used it all day in class without having to recharge it.
Windows XP: I need this for certain programs that I am keeping to use which won't work on Windows 7.
Con
Keyboard: Small, but it's probably a problem for all netbooks.
Touch pad: not distinct enough to feel where it is when not looking at it. I am used to the touch pad on my 17 inch laptop, which has its touch pad more to the left, and this netbook's touch pad is more centerly placed, and it is practically on the same surface of the palm rest, therefore it is easy for me to keep touching areas outside of the touch pad and only to realize that the mouse cursor is not going anywhere...
Holding: Not really a good place to grab the netbook. I tried to grab the joint area between the screen and the keyboard only to realize that I accidentally thumbed on the power button and shut down the computer, I would suggest location of the power button to be adjusted... Though I guess you can reassign what happens after pressing on the power button to prevent the accident from happening.
Memory upgrade: I haven't found the maximum memory for this device anywhere, maybe because it is new. I would certainly hope Gateway would release information on how to upgrade memory on this device. Basically, I figured out the memory type, but not sure of the maximum memory support on this device.
Summery
Does everything a netbook supposed to do with a design that I like, though there are rooms for improvements.
