| foood4thought's Full Review: Gateway Solo 1450 PC Notebook |
I bought this laptop from Gateway.com for $829. Setup was a breeze. All I had to do was plug it, enter some simple data inorder to setup XP and VIOLA, it worked. Now, lets talk about performance. The 1450 easily keeps up with NFS4:HS when played with all options on and a resolution of 1024x768. The power of this notebook is remarkable! It runs at 1.3ghz and processes every thing I through at it with startling ease. But don't count on the battery holding out long. The NIMH battery only lasts about an hour. It's understandable though. The CPU keeps on running at full speed! That means it will play games with ease, even while on battery power!
