Got my little notebook for Christmas, thanks kids, and got to use it for several weeks before the problem started. I was getting power surge notices which was corrupting my work, meaning I has to stop and fix the message and restart thus loosing online work.
Three weeks of online help with numerous ‘fixes’ from simple bios reload to a complete system restore.
Kept telling them it was a motherboard issue. So they finally agreed to take it in to repair facility and I had to pay for shipping. Two more weeks, it is now March 5th, got the computer back yesterday and it still gives me an error message! Called again, number ? I forget how many times, send it back and we will definitely fix it this time. So now I will again be with out my computer for another two and a half weeks while they try to fix it again.
Works great! Nice Speed! The clarity is great on the built in webcam and it has little to no delay, most webcams you can move then 30 seconds later it shows you move, well not with this one. It also linked right to my wireless network and I walked all through the house and outside, while talking on the internet and never lost or had a poor coonection.
So, to some it up…. I love it and will get more for the rest of my family. I have two and will be getting two more!

I really love this netbook! I have a great HP laptop that I absolutely adore as well, but it weighs quite a bit more and was a pain for me to carry around every day. I commute by train, and I like to have a computer. I also run a blog, so while on the train I am often using my laptop. This netbook is so light and ultra portable I take it with me everywhere now. I’m more into performance than looks, but this laptop does look very nice, the red really makes it stand out. For those curious about the ability of the computer, I did in fact install Photoshop CS3 on here, for minor photo work related to my blog. I certainly wouldn’t try to do any hardcore photoshopping on here, but it will certainly run the program quite well for my needs.
My previous Gateway Vista powered laptop suffered a violent death when the phone line was struck by lightning, taking out the phone, modem, and computer. Since it took nearly a week to repair the phone line, I took a couple of days to research what I wanted in a computer. I considered making the switch to Mac, but I’m a text oriented person, so all the fabulous artistic features would be wasted. I briefly considered a desktop, but I like portability. I checked out the laptop features, spoke to a really cute fireman buying this same model, and decided to go for the netbook.
For the price of a new full featured laptop, I now have an adorable and easily portable computer running Windows XP service pack 3 (yeah!), an 18″ monitor to use the extended desktop feature, a wireless modem which frees me to work anywhere in my home, including my front porch and my husband’s man cave, and a multi-port usb device CyberPower High-Speed 7-Port USB Hub to plug in my ergonomic keyboard and other items.
Things I wish I had done:
1. When the geek squad performed the autopsy on my previous computer and harvested the documents and photos, I should have gone with the external hard drive instead of the DVDs. Will Scarlet does not have a DVD drive, so I had to transfer things to a thumb drive and it was not efficient. Plus, now I have essentially useless DVD archives.
2. Purchased a DVD RW external drive: Would fix problem #2 plus other download issues I have. This is an easy fix, but it would not be necessary if I had thought a little further ahead.
Why Will Scarlet works for me: I’m a writer, minor photo editing only–no photoshop or video, my internet surfing is pretty tame, and my game choices run to the puzzle variety. MS Office and Quicken are about as fancy as I get.
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.
