Acer is positioning the Gateway brand as its stylish counter-part so whenever we see an Aspire One out the door, expect a corresponding Gateway LT netbooks to follow suit. Spotted at an Asianic store yesterday are the 10.1″ Gateway LT2003i and the 11.6″ Gateway LT3102i.
These two are basically cousins of the Acer Aspire One D250 and the AO571 with some minor design differences and a CPU coming from AMD with the 11.6″ LT3102i.

It would be very interesting to know how that Athlon 64 L110 CPU would fare compared to say an Atom Z520 1.33GHz CPU. At least the Gateway LT3102i has a graphics chip with a fairly-sized dedicated memory.
Ahh i see.. but is there any “decent” netbook with a “dedicated” GPU? Just wandering if I can own one and then later I’ll just have to change the video card into a better one. ^_^
Nope, I don’t think you can… it’s not like desktops that you can just easily detach it from the motherboard.
Then again, I’m not sure, haven’t tried disecting my notebook… hehe
