Gateway outs cheapest Atom Cedar Trail netbook

This is so far the cheapest netbook we’ve ever seen being sold locally — a Linux-based Gateway LT4000 (a brand owned by Acer).

With a retail price of only Php12,990USD 221INR 18,765EUR 211CNY 1,612, the Gateway LT4000 is even more affordable than the Lenovo IdeaPad S110 we reported earlier.

Gateway LT4000 specs:
10.1″ LED display @ 1024×600 pixels
Intel Atom Cedar Trail N2600 1.6GHz dual-core
Mobile Intel NM10 Express Chipset
Intel GMA 3600 w/ 64MB VRAM
2GB DDR3 RAM
320GB SATA HDD
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 2.1
LAN port 10/100Mbps
Card reader
6-cell 48Whr 4400mAh Li-ion battery
Linux

Gateway claims up to 8 hours of battery life on a single full charge. We’re not sure what Linux flavor they claim this is pre-installed with but I reckon it’s more likely Ubuntu (if not DOS which most other non-MS netbooks are loaded with).

  1. why is this cedar trail N2600 while the previous lenovo u reviewed is a N2800?

  2. seems a slightly better offer from Gateway, 13k vs. 14.5k from Lenovo, with a very slight 1.86 dual core over this 1.6 dual core marginal advantage in processing that will not manifest in real-world use.

    ultimately, who’s buying?

    given the onslaught of cheap tablets flooding the market?

  3. Tablets dont have physical keyboards…

  4. People like me are buying. As @Noir said, tablets for the most part don’t have physical keyboards. People who need something lighter than a full-sized notebook, yet still want the functionality of typing a novel/review/essay, working on a project/presentation or doing other things at a coffee shop still want these.

    In my case, I run software that just don’t have Android equivalents so I need Windows or Linux on the go. And I need to be able to plug into projectors without needing a VGA adapter. (Which does worry me about this new generation of netbooks…do they still have VGA outs or is it HDMI now?)

  5. We are in the critical juncture wherein tablets are slowly gaining over netbooks and cheap notebooks. Though I agree that a tablet is good device, at its current Philippine prices, it is more cost-effective to buy latter than tablets. I’ll buy a tablet if the price is around PhP 10,000 (less is better).

  6. Too bad “10.1″ LED display @ 1024×600 pixels”

    Its not Windows 8 ready unfortunately that’s why its cheap. I suggest to get netbooks with resolutions higher than that. You can install windows 8 but the apps will not work.

  7. probably linpus linux will be installed by default.

  8. tnx ramil for the nice info
