Gateway C-143XL Convertible Reviews

Gateway C-143XL Convertible Notebook is by far the greatest laptop i have ever owned. I currently have 5 Laptops all with their own little specialties and Gateway C-143XL Convertible one is all of them combind. Its a great fast strong machine. The guy before me i think has a problem with is Laptop not the battery. My battery with everything on lasted me close to 4 hours. Thats with Bluetooth and wi-fi and screen at full brightness. On with everything off Gateway C-143XL Convertible Notebook was far longer although i got bored of waiting for it to turn off but it got up to 4hours 41mins. I have no complaint about this laptop. The finger print reader is awesome, and the tablet is very percise. I would recommend it to everytone. The only thing i would add would be an N wi-fi card. Which I ordered seperately and will be here shortly. And a Blue Ray player. and Maybe an intergrated webcam. That would make this the perfect laptop.

I really like this laptop. It is fast, quiet, and cool. It works great to carry around my College campus and take notes in class on it. The only problem I had was that I get a BSOD when I rotate the display after leaving the display rotated for an hour or more. This is really annoying. I have tried reinstalling Vista with no benefit. Now I have been running Linux Mint for the pass few days and it works great. The only problem with Linux is I am having some trouble getting the Linux wacom drivers working. But I believe I can get it to work.Another reviewer mentioned their laptop would only work plugged in. I don't know if I just got lucky, but my laptop runs on battery for 3-5 hours depending on the type of use and power settings.

I really thought this was an outstanding value, however the first one I got had a major problem and didn't work without being plugged in. Tiger Direct nicely replaced it, Gateway won't, but the second one had the same problem. Having called Gateway twice I learned that their service is very very poor. Let me say that again, their service is very poor. They know they have an issue with this laptop, but new battery they need to ship me isn't in the computer system yet, so I just need to keep calling back, waiting 68 minutes to speak to a person and hoping they have put the battery in the computer system so they can send to me. When I asked if talk to a person to share my upset, I was told all I could do is write to them on the website. So I can't recommend this laptop and now I personally would never every bu something from Gateway. TigerDirect on the other hand was fantastic to work with, and I can highly recommend them.

I'm in real estate and LOVE this product. I got jealous when my fiance (also in real estate) purchased one and had to get it. I love taking notes at meetings, using it to obtain signatures on the spot paperless, have it totally connected to our home network and it is wonderful! I had purchased an HP touchscreen tablet and hated it! Most bang for your buck! Completely satisfied!
