Gateway M285-E

Gateway M285-E
Angle Back Swivel Keyboard

review

Gateway firmly believes that a convertible tablet PC should be a full-size notebook with tablet features. Case in point is the Gateway M285-E ($1,843 direct as tested). This dual-purpose system has a large 14-inch widescreen, a full-size keyboard, and all the pen features a tablet user wants. Now factor in the portable's Intel Core Duo processor and PCI Express graphics from ATI, and you've got a system just as powerful as any notebook on the market.
