Gateway LT2115u 10.1-Inch White Netbook - Over 10 Hours of Battery Life
Gateway LT2115u 10.1-Inch White Netbook - Over 10 Hours of Battery Life Review
My wife and I have been looking for a light netbook with a fashion design for a while, and finally located this one. We got her about three days ago and started to love her. The overall design is eye-catching. We can easily fit her in my wife’s bag. The battery can last at least 6-7 hours when we are doing word processing or browsing. If we are just reading a book, the battery icon says it can go more than 10 hours. Typing is comfortable, both with my large hands and my wife’s small hands. The screen is bright with large viewing angle. The CPU speed is ok. Sometimes we had to wait a couple of seconds after starting the browser before being able to type the address. This is not a big deal to us. I have uninstalled most of the blowware, and installed office 2003 and a bunch of softwares that we normally use. 160 GB hard disk is enough. 1 GB memory is good for our use case, mainly word processing and browsing internet.
We have looked at almost all Acer/ASUS/HP/DELL/Toshiba/Sony/Samsang offerings. Sony vaio W was initially our first choice, but we didn’t want to spend 0 more for a similar product. Samsang has a good design, but also expensive. We don’t like the appearance of others.
