Gateway LT2032u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Over 7 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

I searched for a netbook for about a week and found that I could get a Toshiba netbook at Best Buy for about the same price that had a slightly faster processor but a smaller hard drive. I decided to go with the Gateway because of the 250 GB hard drive instead of the 120 GB. The slight increase in processor speed on the Toshiba just could not offset the Gateways price of 0 out the door with the larger hard drive. I upgraded the memory to the 2 GB max( Crucial 2GB 256Mx64PC2-5300 CT25664AC667 DDR2 200-Pin SODIMM Laptop Memory )which really makes a difference only for downloading files or watching video. The battery life seems to be about what is advertised, or maybe slightly better. I removed Norton’s and installed freeware for anti-virus and spyware and will probably remove the Microsoft Office suite because I don’t want to pay 0 for it. For as little as I expect to use it I don’t think that it is worth it on this netbook. I really only expect to use it for traveling which will consist of web use and email, and maybe video chat occasionally. It is built very solidly, and has great styling. As another reviewer stated, the battery does add about an inch to the depth over other netbooks, but this is only an issue for finding a sleeve to carry it in to protect it. I found a sleeve at Wal-Mart (also here at amazon.com) by Targus( Targus 10.2-Inch Slipskin-Peel Netbook Case )that looks great and fits perfectly. It comes in burgundy colored trim that matches exactly. It is slightly more here at amazon.com unless you get the blue trimmed one, which is about half the price as Wal-Mart. If you are looking for a full time computer, a netbook is not for you, but if you want mobility at a great price then I highly recommend this Gateway.

Gateway LT2114u 10.1-Inch Black Netbook - Over 10 Hours of Battery Life Review

I looked for a netbook for service as an Emergency Communications
computer to take into the field. I needed Win XP, long battery
life and small size and light in weight.

I chose the Gateway on its specs and I am not disappointed.
Amazingly, the keyboard size is almost the same as my
desktop keyboard; that made the transition easy.
I needed Win XP because the software I use was written
for XP and I don’t need any surprises in the field
with Win 7 or others.

Gateway LT2041u 10.1-Inch Red Netbook - Over 8 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

I purchased this netbook about a month ago and I can’t put it down. I take it everywhere. The display is crystal clear and the keyboard is just the right size. It does collect finger prints, but as long as you don’t touch the display who cares. I had only one issue so far and the service was great. I can’t say it’s the fastest (2 weeks), but it’s fixed. I had to have the keyboard replaced under warranty. Let’s just say it someone got a hold of it when daddy wasn’t looking. I was able to get it from Amazon for 9 with free shipping…I put in a Western Digital Scorpio 320GB 7200RPM drive…upgraded the memory to 2GB…and put in a 8GB SD card for ReadyBoost (didn’t see a difference with the ReadyBoost). I was able to clone the hard drive, so I didn’t lose any special software or setup. The best part was I didn’t have to try and reinstall an OS. The processor is ok…the reason why I bought this model is because I can’t stand the touchpads on the newer netbook models and there really isn’t that big of a difference between the N280 and N450 chipset. This netbook is completely loaded. It’s perfect for small applications, surfing the net, and doing email. I just put MS Office 2010 Beta on it without any issues. This is my first Gateway and being a computer specialist I was a little nervous, but not anymore.

Sony VAIO VPC-W121AX/P 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - Up to 7 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

This is the newest model (W211AX) of Sony’s Netbooks and has a extended battery life. While others may complain of the battery- I like the fact that it elevates the netbook up towards you. Depending on the surfing you do- you may have a bit less battery life than advertised. I ordered the pink Vaio and couldn’t be more pleased. It was everything I expected it to be and then some. The Track pad is reasonably sized and much larger than most. The screen clarity is amazing. My only complaint is where the speakers are situated for the volume. I simply resolved this issue on my own and use my ipod head phones when listening to sound. To the lower right of screen you may also adjust zoom level. Your options are 100, 125, and 150. If you do increase the zoom level- You do loose a bit of viewing and must scroll from side to side. The keyboard buttons are a bit elevated and makes it easier for typing. The only other downfall that I could say would be that the netbook only comes with Windows 7 Starter. With this program starter version you are unable to change desktop background. Bummer… I love that I can install my SD card and download my photos too. Perfect for web surfing, downloading pics, typing, emails, etc.
AMAZING LITTLE NETBOOK!!!!!!!!
SONY CONTINUES TO IMPROVE THEIR APPEARANCE, MODELS INTERIOR, AND STAND BY THE SONY NAME WITH EXCELLENT CUSTOMER SERVICE!!!!!!!!

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005HA-MU17-PI 10.1-Inch Pink Netbook - 8.5 Hours of Battery Life (Windows 7 Starter) Review

I love this little computer! I had a dell Inspiron running windows XP and i decided to get this to use for school. Well that worked for about a few weeks until i gave my dell to my brother and use this as my main one. let me tell you windows 7 is amazing the starter version let’s you have more than just 3 windows open. Another great thing about this is the customer service is grat I broke my screen after i broke th screen we shipped it off they sent it back and did’t charge us a dime!

Samsung NC10-13GB 10.1-Inch Blue Netbook - Up to 6 Hours of Battery Life Review

This netbook is an outstanding product. Quick start-up, great battery life, light, handy, easy to get on a network, an all-around good addition to my computing productivity.
I also recommend the Targus Sport Netbook Case for up to 10.2-Inch Netbooks (Black/Grey) TNC101US. The Samsung and the Targus are a great “fit”.

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1005PE-MU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook (Up to 11 Hours of Battery Life) Review

Big bang for your buck! It even looks like it is higher quality than all the other brands of netbooks out there…I am very happy with it Windows 7 is awesome…60 trial of microsoft word is also awesome but don’t get too excited about the 250 gb free web storage…I tried it out…took 15 minutes to upload just one music album (12 songs)…no bueno. Okay…so the only reason my rating is one star short of perfect is because there are some things I would change…first of all the 11 hour batter life is great…but for that you get a bulky heavy battery resulting in a heavier than it looks netbook with a bulky rear end….I am used to macbooks having a nice even uniform body so that kind of throws me off a little. And the last thing is the output sound quality is not so great…again I am comparing it to a macbook i previously owned :/ but I guess it is still good for a netbook. I would recommend this computer to anyone looking for something with the basic functions at a reasonable price!

ASUS Eee PC Seashell 1001P-PU17-BK 10.1-Inch Black Netbook (Up to 11 Hours of Battery Life) Review

Since I got this netbook I take it everywhere with me. It does everything that you need-email, internet browse and other things. I use it for book reading instead of my Kindle. It is light weight and I can read while in bed with it. I absolutely recommend this netbook for anyone.
Perfect product-I have had it for several weeks now and have had no problems. Try it-you will love it.
