Gateway dropped the AMD Athlon CPU for an Intel SU3500 on their 11.6 inch mini-notebook. The Gateway EC1801i SU3500 MiniNote has almost the same look as the Gateway LT3102i Ultra Slim Laptop.
This is more like a version of the 11-inch Acer Timeline. See specs and price below:
11.6″ CrystalBrite HD 1366 x 768
Intel Core 2 Solo SU3500 1.4GHz
2GB DDR2 RAM (max 4GB)
320GB HDD
Intel GMA X4500 Video Graphics
64MB dedicated video RAM (up to 1,759MB shared system memory)
Bluetooth 2.0
Webcam
WiFi 802.11 b/g
Windows Vista Home Premium
Weights about 1.43kg so it’s still light. Expect to shell out Php35,995 for this ultraportable notebook (in black and red colors).
Should we like Vista? C’mon techies, enlighten me on this one.
Yuga, where can I buy this one? Is it available here in the philippines
Check out Asianic stores in MOA and Park Square 1.
Whats with the move to 11″+ screens? When I buy a netbook its for small size. 11″ is too big.
@Paul – they’re just filling in the gap in the line-up.
Netbooks don’t have to be small.
1.4ghz f0r vista? Sl0oowww!
Still no 11′ with CD-rom?
NO to VAT! i mean VISTA. Vista will hog you down.
first of all, what does one has to have to qualify as a netbook:
1) smaller form factor? 8-10inches screen?
2) Atom processor? Ion processor?
3) no optical drive?
if these are the criteria to qualify one to be a netbook, then this unit is just an ultraportable and not a netbook.
and are they serious in using the nomenclature MiniNote as their sub-branding name?
Wow, amazing deal!
If it weren’t for the Gateway logo on it, I’d easily mistake this one for an Acer notebook.
I’d also ditch Vista for Windows 7 if were to buy this one.
Is this better than the previous model which has an AMD processor and an ATI Graphic chipset?
I think this is expense. MSI CR400 is much cheaper and has better specs.
Make mine black. But at 1.4Ghz and on Vista? Nice advice there, Jhay.
why not try the NEO MINI-NOTEBOOK. RUNS ON XP (LICENSED) and very fast.
