Gateway E-100M

Gateway E-100M

review

By Cisco Cheng

Finally! An ultraportable that's thin, sleek, gorgeous, and affordable—well, at least reasonably priced. The Gateway E-100M ($1,574 direct) successfully marries a shockingly thin 0.9-inch magnesium-alloy chassis with a low price tag, something rarely done in this category. And though its performance won't rock your world, it's good enough to get you through your day successfully.

Bottom Line

The E-100M draws you in with its attractive looks, light weight, and low price tag. Its performance is uninspiring, but if you do straightforward office work on the road, you'll be satisfied, and you'll barely notice you're toting this system around.

Pros

Ultrathin. Bright widescreen. Excellent design. One of the cheapest ultraportables in the market.

Cons

Performance is underwhelming. Mouse buttons are noisy.
