Hands on With the Gateway NX100

I ’ve been wait for a few week now to bust this newfangled Gateway ultralight open and I ’m proud of to say that this ultra - light laptop computer that is a grand departure from Gateway ’s current line - up and an interesting microcomputer , if slightly blemished , PC to boot .

Read on , berth saltation .

The unspoiled affair about the NX100 is its size . It ’s just about 1 in thick and weighs just about 3.5 pounds with a standard assault and battery . Larger assault and battery are available , but they kind of destroy the aesthetic . The case is smuggled — how much more smuggled could it get?—and has a rubberized wrist rest . These are venial detail that really place upright out .

In terms of electric battery life , this initial model that I test was pretty weak . It can last about 2 hours on one charge , but with external videodisk drive and the like it might be considerably less . An extra battery pack is definitely a must . The NX100 runs a 1.2 - GHz Core Solo processor and has a 12.1 - inch screen . It comes with an extraneous optic drive , up to 2 GB of memory , and a 6 - in-1 card reader . It also has 2 USB 2.0 interface , a Firewire port , and PCMCIA slot . Bluetooth is optional .

broadly , this is a great portable notebook computer , specially when paired with a dock and an supererogatory shelling . A in full - loaded model cost about $ 1,625 and less models start at about $ 1,400 , so you ’re not paying that much for some great portability . play on this thing ? Nah . But Road Warriors take now — it ’s lighter than a copy of The Da Vinci Code .

Overall , barrage fire life history is the enceinte downfall here , but that can be remedied . While Gateway has made mess of beige boxes in their day , it ’s good to see them furcate out .
