Gateway Solo 1100

Pros: Great overall!
Cons: No SVideo out, Mouse is junk

Overview
I just tried my new Gateway Solo 1100, and I have to tell you, I LOVE IT! It's really the best one I've ever had! It's pretty fast and easy to use, and the keys don't make that "RAT TAT TAT" noise when you type! :)

Pros: Portability, price
Cons: slow, crashes a lot

I bought my Gateway Solo 1100 because I needed a new computer - my desktop was on the verge of failure just at the beginning of a new college semester. It has a lot of advantages over the desktop - it's portable, so I can take it to school, or down the...

Pros: Price
Cons: cdrom

The Gateway Solo 1100 has definitely exceeded my expectations.
Take a look at the specs:

Hard Disk - 6.0 gig
CPU - 466 MHz
RAM - 32 SDRAM (upgradeable to 192)
Video - 2 Megs
CDRom - 24x
For the full list of specs...

Pros: Affordable, able to upgrade warranty
Cons: LCD, and regular warranty is expensive, but worth it.

I needed a new computer that was affordable, but came with the essentials that I would need for college.

After recommending Gateway to a co-worker, I decided to check out their web site.

I saw that the Solo 1100 was my best choice....

Pros: Best Price, Best Price/Performance Ratio, Cool Design
Cons: Can't think of any

After failing to complete a satisfactory transaction with DELL and CompUSA, I decided to turn to Gateway. The Solo 1100 is essentially a system for people who want performance at a great price, with nothing unnecessary included. The 1100 Solo comes...

Pros: nice workhorse
Cons: short battery life and runs hot

I had a Gateway Desktop and loved it and the service I had received from Gateway so much that I decided to try out one of their laptops. I included the "student package" with it, even though I am not a student.
I also included the...

Pros: Great For all your basic needs
Cons: Doesn't have super rich colors but still great.

I read the reviews on this page and decided to get this particular model number. I love Gateway to start with. My mother had bought one and I've used it for a while and she's had to get help for it and they've taken care of it right away. The service...

Pros: Good Price/Performance
Cons: Marginal Support

The first problem that a potential Web purchaser will have in purchasing a Solo 1100 is dealing with Gateway's e-commerce site...which clearly isn't! Final pricing and order confirmation cannot be done on-line and you have to await an e-mail from a...

Pros: Low cost
Cons: not all that fast

I compared several notebooks from several manufacturers including IBM, Compaq, and Dell. I found that you get comparable power and options for less money at gateway.
I searched for a Portable for under $1400, 32MB ram, 32x cd, and Celeron...

Pros: cheap price, nice size screen, long battery
Cons: low memory, sluggish booting up

I have been shopping around for a Notebook Computer for about six months now and the Gateway Solo 1100 series was the best buy for the money. The Intel Celeron Processor I believe is better than the AMD K6 processor that they put in most of the cheaper...

Pros: Easy to Use, Fast, Easy to Break
Cons: Faulty ports, Cheap quality CD-ROM

I bought this laptop for school reasons. I own a PC at home and at school there were mostly Macintosh's :( I already had a Gateway PC of my own, and it has been quite a good PC for the exception of a few problems. I bought this laptop because it was made...
