Gateway 14.1" FHD Ultra Slim Notebook, Intel Core i3-1005G1, 4GB RAM, 128GB SSD, Tuned by THX™ Audio, Fingerprint Scanner, Webcam, HDMI, Cortana, Windows 10 S, Google Classroom Compatible

While you certainly can find a more beefy computer with more memory and speed you certainly cant find one with more features at the price point this computer is offered. While 4GB of RAM is slow (however it does have an Intel Corei3 processor) and struggles with very demanding photo and CADD processes it should be more than adequate for the average internet researcher, word processing, email and all social media platforms as well as video driven programs such as skype. The built in fingerprint sensor is nearly invisible in the upper left hand side of the touchpad. Its use is optional and may be used in place of a password or pin to log in. This Gateway is easy to connect to many non Bluetooth peripherals with its HDMI connection port and easily connects all your Bluetooth devices with Bluetooth 5.1 THX powers the audio by Harmon and delivers a reasonably nice level of sound for music, podcasts and some of the non demanding gaming programs that are assisted by the Nvidia GEFORCE GTX graphic card. (but its not an overclocked gaming computer by any means). The 14.1” LCD IPS Display, (1920 x 1080) is crisp and clear with excellent resolution. I have encountered only one issue with this computer and that was that somehow the touchpad got toggled off and I lost all mouse functions through the touchpad. It was and easy fix that I handled by hooking up a wireless mouse and toggling the touchpad back on in settings. I recommend doing all windows updates as soon as possible after receiving the computer to insure you have the latest software and driver files. You will get a lot of features for not a lot of bucks and makes an excellent introductory laptop, or even just a new laptop in general for a non demanding user.

This was very easy to set up , even as inexperienced as I am. I plugged it in , turned it on and the built in set up started. It walked me through the set up process with voice instructions at my own speed , with out rushing me. I like the 14 inch size , not to large for travel. Great picture , The speakers were adequate and were better speakers than my old 11 inch device. It does everything my desktop does for me. I did add a $10 wireless mouse, only because i am used to a mouse more so than the pad. I really like it so far and have found no negatives yet. Great little machine , does everything I need it to do. Very pleased with it.
