It seems strange to still think of Gateway as a US based computer manufacturer, but here they are still going all bit it as part of Acer these days. However, this new lease of life gives Gateway an advantage especially when it comes to the very competitive netbook market.
Here we are looking at the LT4004U netbook from the California based Gateway Computers Co, it is the Acer Aspire One D270 Cedar Trail netbook but it comes with all the Gateway branding. The price is more or less the same too, but for US consumers the Gateway LT4004U netbook is effectively an American brand and therefore it stands to reason it is an American netbook.
The new Gateway LT4004U features the standard netbook 10.1 inch LED backlit display with a 1024 x 600 of pixel resolutions and it has a handy 0.3 mega pixel web camera and microphone. It will be powered by the Intel Atom Cedar Trail 1.6 GHz N2600 processor and the video graphics come from the Intel GMA 3600 integrated graphics card. As usual, there will be just 1 GB of DDR3 RAM and there is a useful 250 GB hard disk drive (HDD) for storage purposes.
Other features will include a card reader, three standard USB 2.0 ports and a multi-touch track pad, while networking is provided by the installed 802.11b/g/n Wi-Fi and an Ethernet connection if required. There is a six cell battery pack installed, that according to Gateways own description will provide the user with up to eight hours of power while running on the Microsoft Windows 7 Starter operating system.
The Gateway LT4004U is available right now with a starting price of $280, for anyone who wants the same computer but with different branding features, and then there is the Acer Aspire One D270 Cedar Trail netbook, which is available at the same price.
