Notebook Review and Info World published Gateway M255-E reviews. Here are review qoutes about this thin and lightweight 14-inch screen dual-core processor laptop.

Gateway M255-E Review
The M255 is a physically attractive notebook with a good screen, and it’s easy to tote around. Based strictly on price, screen, size and build quality, it seems like a good choice for users looking to save money. This particular machine proved capable during basic use, such as email, Internet and document creation, but performed poorly under stress, and the keyboard consistently lacked expected responsiveness, making its presence known in ways it shouldn’t.

While performance under stress would likely be addressed by an additional 512 MB of RAM, it’s impossible to say whether the keyboard problems are of a particular or general nature, or, for that matter, if further use would have resulted in user adjustments to diminish or eliminate responsiveness issues. There is also the very real possibility that another user would like the keyboard. One thing I do know: If I were to purchase one or fifty of these notebooks, I would insist on first testing with additional RAM, and if it were a bulk purchase, I would want additional opinions on the keyboard.

Since it’s less than an inch thick, Gateway decided to call it ultrathin, and it’s fairly light at 3.15 pounds with a 12.1-inch widescreen display at 1280×800 pixels.

Here are Gateway E-100M (business user version) and Gateway NX100X (consumer version) review quotes.

Gateway E-100M / Gateway NX100X Reviews

Hands on With the Gateway NX100 - Gizmodo
The best thing about the NX100 is its size. It’s just about 1 inch thick and weighs just about 3.5 pounds with a standard battery. Larger batteries are available, but they kind of destroy the aesthetic. The case is black—how much more black could it get?—and has a rubberized wrist rest. These are minor details that really stand out.
