Pros: Price, design, and weight edged out all other competitors, good package at an excellent price.

| lin823's Full Review: Gateway 200xl PC Notebook |
I wanted THIN & LIGHT, something below 5lbs, when upgrading from my Dell. I checked out all of the tech reviews and for me, it came down to the thin/lights from Gateway, Sony Vaio, HP, and Apple (a BIG change for a long time DOS/Microsoft person). I really liked what I saw with the Gateway and understood from the beginning the shortcomings with the Gateway Battery. I'm a double power cord person, one at home and one at school (now office) and rarely need to rely on battery alone. The system is FAST, flexible, LIGHT (helps a lot when also carrying books), and RELIABLE. I've had the system for 10 months, moved twice, take it to/from work everyday as my sole computer and have had ZERO problems. It sets up quickly, plenty of ports for peripherals (different printers at home and office, speakers, etc.). No problems with the Integrated Drive, burns and reads quickly and well.
