Gateway has decided to use an AMD Athlon 64 L110 with its netbook LT3103u again. While this processor running at a clock frequency lower than the atom actually perform on par or better than the Intel platform. Course much of it is because the Gateway includes 2 GB of DDR2 memory, 250GB hard drive and Vista Home Premium operating system instead of being limited by licensing of Microsoft XP.
The big win for consumers looking for a netbook is graphic. With a large 11.6-inch LED-backlit screen, the system has a very high resolution of 1366x768, which gives a much larger workspace. Execution of the graph is a Radeon X1270 graphics processor, which also brings 720p high definition video for netbook market. This is a great victory for those seeking portable high-definition video playback. The graphics are very able to handle 1080i video channels, but the screen is not so great anyway.
The biggest drawback to LT3103u Gateway is battery life. Although the system is equipped with a six-cell battery, power graphics processor and prevent it from reaching the super long run times. In my test video summary, the system was able to get around 4 hours of playback is still good, but far from what some netbooks are capable of.
One of the most entertaining aspects of the Gateway is LT3103u access panels in the bottom of the system. This makes it easier for users to change the memory module or hard disk. There is also access to two mini PCI slots for more advanced modifications for those who are inclined to add Bluetooth or a solid state drive.
Gateway plans to offer the T3100 in several configurations in black and red cases prices start at $399.99.
