11.6″ Gateway EC1801i MiniNote

Gateway dropped the AMD Athlon CPU for an Intel SU3500 on their 11.6 inch mini-notebook. The Gateway EC1801i SU3500 MiniNote has almost the same look as the Gateway LT3102i Ultra Slim Laptop.

This is more like a version of the 11-inch Acer Timeline. See specs and price below:

first of all, what does one has to have to qualify as a netbook:

1) smaller form factor? 8-10inches screen?
2) Atom processor? Ion processor?
3) no optical drive?

if these are the criteria to qualify one to be a netbook, then this unit is just an ultraportable and not a netbook.

and are they serious in using the nomenclature MiniNote as their sub-branding name?

If it weren’t for the Gateway logo on it, I’d easily mistake this one for an Acer notebook.

I’d also ditch Vista for Windows 7 if were to buy this one.

Is this better than the previous model which has an AMD processor and an ATI Graphic chipset?

I think this is expense. MSI CR400 is much cheaper and has better specs.

Make mine black. But at 1.4Ghz and on Vista? Nice advice there, Jhay.
