Nope, you have to use the USB port with a flash drive on netbooks to transfer programs/files. Helps make it more portable.
Interesting - it’s a hybrid of a netbook and laptop, in both size and power. Perhaps a good choice for a college student…
Could this be turned into a “Hackintosh”?
EDIT: As was pointed out - AMD processor, no Mac support for AMD stuff.
here’s a video review on CNet
Doesn’t the fact that it has Vista Home Basic mean it’s not eligible for a Windows 7 upgrade?
a review i found says 3 hours when watching movies, 4 hours when surfing the web. can read the review here:
nice netbook for the price but the older 1.2 amd processor is sad to see, why would gateway use this why not new atom processors 1.6 at least
with vista itll be sluggish im sure
More expensive elsewhere, although the new crop of 11.6" with dual cores are out now, they are hot, but twice as much $$$.
Ooh, it’s kind of like a netbook, but kind of not really.
It’s 11"–bigger than your run-of-the-mill netbooks.
It’s got Vista–the specs are too high for Microsoft to approve selling XP with it.
It’s got AMD–it’ll be snappier than Atom counterpart.
It’s got 6-cell battery–it SHOULD have a good battery life if mated to Atom netbooks; alas, it’s an AMD. The battery life would not be impressive, most likely.
And here’s a review, of sorts:

How sloooowww is it?
■Operating System: Genuine Windows Vista® Home Basic (32-bit) with SP1
now that’s a shame!
I wouldn’t suggest this for anything much more intense than word processing, surfing the net, and listening to music.

if I play Hulu videos will this have high def quality?

Gateway’s website says up to 5 hours
Probably not, since it’s an AMD processor.
Well, since no one’s said anything about it yet, I’ll throw in my $0.02 ----
LOVE THE WRITE-UP!! LMAO!
Wave is so… gimmicky…
According to this website, about 3-4 hours:
Not to bad of a price, but I’m hoping for something better on Black Friday.
I have this! I really like it. Don’t use it for anything too complicated but it’s great with the basics. I can get about 7-8 hours out of the battery with great performance which is lovely for when I’m on the go.
It should support hi-def for Hulu fine, however it might take a while to buffer
Does this qualify for any kind of Windows 7 upgrade?
“They” say Windows 7 is easier on the single processors. I’m currently running Vista on a Celeron…wheee.
