Digital Trends have publsihed their review of the Gateway E-155C ultraportable notebook. 'Base features include the 12.1” WXGA LCD with sunlight readability filter and ambient light sensor, which was pretty clear during both indoor and outdoor viewing. Outdoor viewing was especially clear for a laptop, though, as expected, colors were significantly washed out. The onboard Intel GMA950 won’t win any F.E.A.R. matches, but then again, this isn’t a gaming machine. The only processor option is the Core 2 Duo ULV U7500, clocked at 1.06GHz. We found the processor to be capable of most applications, though there was some borderline significant lag on OneNote during digitizing. Ram is under-clocked to 533 MHZ to reduce power consumption, and offered at up to 3GB (our model had 1G

Hard drive offerings max out at 120GB, and there is an option to upgrade the CD-RW drive to a DVD-RW one. Rounding out the configuration is Bluetooth 2.0 and 802.11a/b/g. It should be noted that as an option, this system includes Windows XP Tablet Edition, which does not support many of the tablet enhancements available in Vista. We recommend that you stick with Windows Vista. If Bill Gates uses a Tablet PC for his day-to-day computing, you know he added his two bits on what could be improved, and people hopped to it. Overall, the E-155C scored a 3.1 in the Windows Experience Index, which isn’t horrible, but could be improved upon.'
