Gateway LT2021u, classy netbook

classy netbook

I really like this netbook for the following reasons:
1. I like the red color, sets it apart from other netbooks
2. It runs Ubuntu Netbook Remix 9.10 without a hitch, webcam, mic, wireless and all, kudos to the Ubuntu community
3. It is perfect for bringing it to class and taking notes, and even recording the professor. Battery life with wifi off and screen brightness turned down was about 3:30, which isn’t bad for such a small netbook with a small battery

Things to consider though:
It is small! Try any 10.1 netbook at a retail store before buying. The size of the screen is a bit of an adjustment, but of course there are several advantages to a smaller screen.

Don’t expect to do any gaming short of flash games and solitaire. Of course, if you are looking at netbooks, you should already know this.

anywho, for the price and the style, I have no regrets about this netbook! Buy it! They all have the same relative specs anyways, so I let my vanity get the best of me to get the red one.

Little Red Notebook
I bought this computer after a larger laptop and love the size of this 10.1 inch laptop. It works very well and very fast, no problems connecting to the Internet. Great little computer.

System is Amazing, DREADFUL CUSTOMER SERVICE
I was delighted to purchase an affordable netbook from a reputable company that came equipped with decent software. I’ve owned this netbook for a short time and all was perfect until one day it failed to start up. I contacted Gateway to address the problem in hopes of guidance for a simple reboot. I was unable to get an actual person on the phone and the automated messages encouraged correspondence via email. Seeing that the netbook was unusable, contact was difficult. I managed to report the problem but have been jerked around for the past 2 weeks with suggestions that have either failed or do not pertain to the issue. I’ve had to repeat my situation with each response and still have nothing to show for it. They have been extremely hesitant in fulfilling my request to send my netbook in for analysis or exchanging for a new one. The netbook is still under warranty but has proven useless. This whole ordeal has been absolutely frustrating and I sincerely regret ever purchasing a product from Gateway.

Please note that the product itself was wonderful when in working condition and the problem with my particular netbook does not represent all Gateway products. However, please take into consideration that if you do find a problem or defect with your product that a resolution (if at all) will take a long time.
