Gateway
There are a ridiculous amount of computer companies out there - all claiming to be the best. Of course, this makes it almost impossible to tell who really is the best. You could look at reviews - and you should. Just Google the brand like so: Gateway laptop reviews - and you’ll get an enormous list of reviews to scan through. However, if you’re willing to look at Gateway laptops, here’s what you need to know.

Cost
There are two ways to buy Gateway laptop computers - or any laptop for that matter. You start by either looking at what you want in a laptop, or what you can afford. Since you can look through all sorts of Gateway notebooks and settle on one that has all the features you need, let’s look at cost. Most Gateway notebook computers are going to cost between $500 and $1200, though you could go over that for the more expensive models. Like all mobile computers, Gateway laptop computers don’t come cheap unless you find them on sale.

Parts? Memory?
Most Gateway laptop parts are covered under a warranty if they malfunction - be sure to read the fine print, that’s where they get you. If you’re not sure what you need in Gateway laptop memory you can either ask the sales clerk or find more on the internet. For hard drive you want to have at least 40 GB, which is pretty standard these days. For RAM you’re going to want at least 512MB - also standard.

Batteries
Gateway laptop batteries come into play when you’re not using a Gateway laptop power supply, such as an AC adapter which you plug into your wall. Batteries cost anywhere from $100 to $200, and can last anywhere from 2 hours to 6 hours - depending on what you’re doing and the quality of the battery. Generally the standard battery is good enough, unless you plan on using your laptop away from home for long periods of time.

A Fine Choice
Gateway laptops can be your key into the mobile computer world. Check around for reviews, and always remember to try before you buy.
