Gateway LT3104g/LT3105g

In the battle for Netbook market share supremacy, Intel's Atom CPU stands nearly unchallenged despite a handful of offerings with AMD and Via CPUs. So it's surprising we found so much to like about the 11.6-inch Gateway LT3104g. This uses an AMD Athlon 64 L110 1.2GHz processor to provide a smoother overall experience than most Atom-powered Netbooks, while keeping the price in the typical Netbook ballpark.



The larger screen has a high-definition 1,366 x 768 resolution, which is becoming increasingly common in higher-end Netbooks. But at only S$699, the Gateway is cheaper than other 11-inch Netbooks such as the Asus Eee PC 1101HA, as well as 10-inch models with high-definition screens such as the Sony Vaio W.



The battery life, while not insultingly short, is definitely a weak point (especially for a bulky six-cell battery)--and the Vista operating system is a known performance bottleneck for Netbooks. Still, the AMD CPU gave us one of the best Netbook experiences we've had, while undercutting the 11-inch high-definition screen competition.

Design

The basic black design of the LT3104g won't turn many heads--although Gateway gets consistency points for matching the industrial design of its mainstream MD series laptops, down to the vertical chrome accent bar on the back of the lid. The system also feels like a slightly refined version of sister brand Acer's 11-inch Acer Aspire One 751.



The interior is matte black on the keyboard tray, glossy black on the screen bezel, with a subtle indented dot pattern on the wrist rest. We were torn by the keyboard. The large, flat-topped keys looked snazzy with their gently rounded corners and were big enough for even fat fingers to use comfortably. But, they also felt somewhat insubstantial, flexing too much under our fingers, and had a cheap, plastic, clacking quality.

The touchpad was of adequate size, but the mouse buttons were unfortunately relegated to one of those thin, annoying rocker bars--an implementation we regularly discourage. Like nearly all current Gateway and Acer models, the touchpad supports limited multitouch gestures such as photo zooming with a two-fingered pinch. The pad is small enough to keep this from being a particularly useful feature, but we liked swiping two fingers horizontally to move forward and back in our Web browser history.
