A few yr back , during a fiscal crunch , I briefly consider buying a Gateway laptop computer . An office techie let the cat out of the bag me out of it , though , remark that the company was in its death throes . That was right before Gateway tried to reinvent itself as a vender of budget plasma television , and a few years before the eMachines fusion .
Well , Gateway ’s still kicking as the Y2K5 approaches , as bear witness by today ’s freeing of the M210 notebook . The 5.2 - pestle has a pretty sick spec sheet for the money : The undecomposed configuration boast a 1.6GHz Pentium M with Centrino , 512 MB of RAM , and a 60 - gig hard drive , all for a centime shy of $ 1,300 . The real interrogation , of course , is whether the M210 can survive pugnacious days on the route . The latches on my pal ’s M675CS devolve off , like , 3 days after the ( abominable ) warranty snuff it .
