Gateway LT2022u 10.1-Inch Netbook – The Most Affordable Netbook Model

Specifications: Gateway has always been making lots of great, budget-friendly PCs and now, it has finally made its entry into the netbook market. Until recently, the Acer Aspire One has been the most affordable netbook model in the market. All that is set to change with the new Gateway LT2022u netbook!

This new Gateway netbook comes with an Intel Atom Processor (1.6Ghz), 160GB hard drive, a 10.1-inch LED back-lit screen and 1GB of DDR2 RAM. Despite its price, it has most of the features found on other netbook models with bigger price tags. It has wi-fi connectivity (801.11b/g), a 5-in-1 one memory card reader, stereo speakers, 3 USB ports, a web cam, audio jacks and it runs n Windows XP Home Edition SP3. The track pad also supports multi-touch gestures.

Design: The Gateway LT2022u may be one of the most affordable netbooks in the market, but let me just say that it is one of the most expensive looking laptops I have ever seen. It is extremely portable, measuring at 10.18 x 7.24 x 1.03 inches and weighing around 2.6 pounds. It comes in black and red where the external casing has a glossy finish while the internal (keyboard area) has a matte surface. I particularly like the black model. The black is beautifully contrasted by silver hinges and the palm rest area around the track pad has a textured surface. All in all, this netbook looks very classy and elegant.

Features & Performance: The Gateway LT2022u would perform as well as any other netbook models in the market. It has 3-cell battery than can last up to 3 hours on a single charge. Surfing the net, checking your e-mails and watching movies on this little netbook would prove to be a delight, especially with the incorporated Dolby Headphone Technology and HD audio features. All in all, the Gateway LT2022u will prove to be a formidable competitor to other reigning netbook models (such as the Acer Aspire One, Asus Eee PC and Toshiba Mini). At the moment, this model retails for just around $229 each, which is an amazing deal!

Netbooks For Students-A Smarter Way To Learn

<!– @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } –>

Creativity can foster like never before through modern classrooms, a smart solution to improve learning through netbooks for students. When you are in high school or college, keeping up with your course might seem like a difficult job. Desktops are designed for home computing but become obsolete in the new curriculum. Laptops fill in the size criteria but the weight is still too bulky for students to carry around all the time. Netbooks come as a perfect solution to all the concerns of a student, making them the ideal devices to help with your education.

The biggest factor that works in favor of all netbooks is the portability. If you look at retail stores, you will come across several ultra light netbooks for students that weigh negligible and can be carried around anywhere you want. You can use it in classes, dormitories, halls or even the cafeteria while enjoying your lunch. Laptops cannot bridge this gap and students move towards netbooks for organizing their curriculum. It becomes a digital storehouse of information, notes, projects and everything else to help you get through your classes with good grades. Combined with the other multimedia features, netbooks stand out as a complete device that meets all the required specifications.

If you are planning to take down notes in class, the netbook would end up becoming your best friend. Long lectures or seminars can go on for hours and if your computer starts to flash signs of low battery, you could get caught in a frustrating situation. This is even more of a problem for projects or presentations where you have to constantly monitor the battery life. Netbooks eliminate this problem faced by laptops and desktops through a more compact battery design that has a backup time of upto eight hours. Even if you don’t find a power outlet at the right moment, netbooks for students make sure that your work or your creativity does not come to a halt.

All round connectivity gives netbooks a special edge for students in the classroom. Most schools and colleges have their own wireless networks so you can always use the netbooks for students to connect to the internet and search up additional information on the topic being taught at present. This would help you become clearer with the subject and broaden your horizons. The efficient heat distribution of netbooks also mean that it won’t get hot fast like laptops and you can work with it on your lap for much longer periods of time.

Two more features available to netbooks are catered specifically to students. Student edition netbooks are pre bundled with a lot of helpful software that can help you throughout your course. You can also use these tools for project purposes and to design your own stuff at events. However, the biggest positive for a netbook comes in the form of its affordable price. You do not have to splurge lots of money on an expensive laptop or desktop. Discounts and offers make sure that students get a fully functional computer on a budget and netbooks for students offer full technical support and warranty. When you are on a new path of education, a netbook can end up being your best resource.
