Gateway M255-E (Core 2 Duo)

M255-E (Core 2 Duo)
Front Angle Keyboard

review

Buying for business is all about reliability, and placing your trust in a Gateway laptop is like placing your trust in a reliable brand of automobiles: You want one you can count on, with components that improve from year to year and a reputation that remains stable over time. The Gateway M255-E (Core 2 Duo) offers just that. Its battery, internal peripherals, and AC adapter are consistent with those in older Gateway laptops, and with its newly installed Intel Core 2 Duo processor, it'll put your productivity into overdrive.
