Looks like Gateway is just cloning what Acer is pushing out the door these days. First, it was the Aspire One series being re-style into Gateway LT series and now the Acer Timeline series has a counter-part in the Gateway EC series.
The Gateway EC3801i is a 13.3″ laptop which has a similar specs and price point as the Acer Timeline. It also boasts of the same 8-hour battery life.
Specs:
Intel Core 2 Duo SU9400 1.4GHz
13.3″ display screen @ 1366×768 pixels
Mobile Intel GS45 Express
2GB 1066MHz DDR3 RAM (up to 8GB DDR3)
320GB 5400rpm SATA HDD
Intel GMA 4500MHD with up to 1759MB shared memory
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.0
1 HDMI, 3 USB ports
5600mAh 6-cell lithium-ion battery
This model is slightly heavier at 1.8kg compared to Timeline’s 1.6kg. The retail price of the Gateway EC3801i is Php49,896 (as listed in VillMan).
Gateway is owned by Acer. Sister company rin nila Packard Bell sa Europe. Some Gateways are remarked Acers..
same with emachines, seems this Taiwan brand is buying the other small players around the Globe. Being under Acer, i guess the future of emachines, syling and the likes will depend on how Acer will perform.
not too bad, not too good. fair enough.
brother’s in different mother
Kudos to the Gateway arm of Acer Philippines!
The company’s new releases are sure giving the competition a run for their money.
I saw their back to school laptops spread in SIP Mag at CBTL and the units sure look amazing.
I wish nothing but the best for Gateway and Acer Phils. I just hope that they would start to seriously look at tech blogs as a great advertising platform to hit their target niche.
Again, kudos to Gateway.

Specs are fine. But when prices border around the P50k mark, my benchmark becomes the macbook.
for the brand conscious even if it has the same specs they’ll definitely choose acer
I think gateway as is more heavy on hardware power than its acer counter part, it has a core 2 duo rather than just a core 2 solo.

it’s multi-brands conspiracy of Acer, LOL
@Darren: indeed, multi brand conspiracy, just like IBM Lenovo, Fujitsu-Siemens, and HP Compaq.
