Gateway NX100X Review

Laptop Magazine reviews the Gateway NX100X, a small, lightweight machine with a 12 inch screen.

Occupying about the same desk space as a sheet of paper and less than an inch thick, the 3.2-pound Gateway NX100 is one sleek machine. It’s also inexpensive, at $1,624, though that includes only a three-cell battery and an external optical drive. Still, this more consumer-oriented model can get you started with an ultraportable now, and then you can add to it as your budget permits.

In the end they give the machine a three out of five on their rating scale. The three hours that it gets on a three cell battery is nice, but it would be nice if it included a six cell or nine cell battery as standard to really show off its ability to conserve power, as a nine cell battery, while adding a bit of bulk to the machine would have pushed it to nearly nine hours of time away from the power plugs.
