- I won’t review this properly but my sibling seems to be using it fine. I did find a review which argued that laptops these cheap are never worth it [VIDEO: 18:00] even given the specs and you should just find a few more hundred dollars instead. Given that, you might as well find a used ThinkPad at that point and buy an SSD.
My sibling was complaining that their expensive fancy gaming laptop was giving them problems and they were getting in a huge rut so they asked me to help them find a new one. I wasn’t looking too hard until I found a deal for this Gateway 14.1" Ultra Slim Notebook for under $300 on Slickdeals. Thing is, it’s really fucking good, especially for $300.
It has:
- Processor
- 11th Generation Intel i5-1135G7 Processor
- Graphics
- Intel Iris Xe
- Display
- 14.1" LCD IPS FHD 1920×1080 Display
- Storage
- 512GB SSD
- Memory
- 16GB RAM
- Ports
- 1× HDMI
- 1× USB Type-C 3.1 Gen 1
- 2× USB-A 3.0
- 1× Micro SD
I’m not claiming that it’ll be the best laptop ever, just that for $300, these specs are pretty much impossible to beat. Once my sibling comes around, I might review it.
