We intend to test and review at least one of them here soon—but in the meantime, we'd advise some caution with the new "Gateway" brand. You must login or create an account to comment. Jim Salter. The higher the GHz, the faster the laptop runs. Hard drives and memory: These components are responsible for storing all of your program files, computer files that the device needs to work, your documents, and your game files. The amount of memory can range from GB to GB. Batteries: The battery life indicates how long you are able to use the computer before needing to recharge it.
Larger batteries can power devices for longer, though the actual battery life can be influenced by the number and type of programs you are running and the brightness of your display. What size options are there for netbooks? What features may come with laptops? Some of the features Gateway netbook models may include are: CD or DVD drive: This feature allows you to listen to music or watch a movie from a disc.
It may also be able to burn disks. Webcams: Webcams allow you to talk face-to-face with others. They can also allow you to record video right from your device without the need for an external camera.

You'll be fine indoors but it can be difficult to see past reflections from the glossy coating.
If you need to work outside or under bright office lights regularly, you might find yourself frequently adjusting your screen angle. Off-angle viewing was fine. Like the display, the rest of the laptop is solidly OK. The keyboard, for example, is comfortable enough with decent key travel and with a feel that's soft but not mushy. There is a small Shift key on the right -- a trade-off for full-size arrow keys -- that took some time for me to adjust to.
