Gateway M255-E Review
Laptop Magazine recently reviewed the M255-E from Gateway, a business machine with a Core Duo processor.
Small business customers looking for a lightweight widescreen travel partner should take a good look at the Gateway M255-E, which offers a speedy 2-GHz Core Duo processor along with a 14.1-inch widescreen. It may look a bit plain on the outside, but this system has plenty of multitasking muscle and comes with a solid three-year warranty.
Measuring 13.3 x 9.7 x 1.3 inches and weighing 5.5 pounds, the M255-E is a notebook that goes easily between home and office. It sports Gateway’s stock black-and-silver color scheme. The full-sized keyboard is laid out well, but some may not like the keys themselves; they have a gritty UV coating. This unique feature adds durability but makes the keys feel almost dirty to the touch. The touchpad’s generously sized scroll area built into its right side made for excellent maneuvering up and down Web pages.
First off, dirty feeling keys? Is that a positive feature or a negative one? They list it as a negative one in their pro’s and con’s list at the end, but maybe some people like rough keys?
Besides that point, I am not a big fan of Gateway machines, but Laptop Magazine found the Gateway M255-E to be worth a rating of 3 out of 5.
