Inside, we find a system built around an Intel Core 2 Duo E6320 processor (which shares 4MB of internal cache between the two cores) supported by 2GB of main memory on a 1066MB front side bus. There's a 320GB SATA hard drive for all your storage needs (even if you regularly record TV programmes to it) and a 256MB nVidia GeForce 7500 LE graphics adapter, which runs cool enough not to need its own fan. In fact this machine runs commendably coolly and hence very quietly.

The Gateway E-155C/C-120X represents an evolutionary step for Gateway, and features a thin design, integrated fingerprint scanner and Windows Vista.

Today I'm looking at one of Gateway's new line of PCs that ships with Windows Vista preinstalled. Being the Home Premium version of Microsoft's latest OS, the PC has a strong emphasis on multimedia, with the inclusion of a TV tuner card and Windows Media Center remote. Also, rounding out the multimedia buzzword credentials of the PC, it conforms to Intel's Viiv standard.

Gateway packs in an Intel Core 2 Duo T5200 CPU, 100GB hard drive, 15.4in widescreen TFT and Vista Home Premium for under £500. The killer mid-priced notebook or cost-cutting to the extreme?

The FPD2485W specs are impressive on their own. 1920 x 1200 resolution, 1080p support (with HDCP), 1000:1 contrast ratio, 450 cd/m2 brightness, 6 ms response time, and a built-in, four-port USB 2.0 hub. Keep in mind that most people will only need to know the above specs to make a purchasing decision. These specs match or surpass those of the competition. The contrast resolution is good enough for watching darkly-lit video scenes, giving good color saturation. The 6 ms response time means no ghosting or blurring during fast-paced gaming or video.

Overall, the laptop has an industrial look that is as modern and hip as any other competitor in its class. Aside from the power button in the upper right-hand corner next to the keyboard, there are no other buttons outside of the keyboard to complicate the layout. No volume controls, mute button, "sleep" button or any other controls muddy up the intentionally minimalist layout. Traditionally, look and feel of this caliber has been reserved for the flagship models from each manufacturer, such as the Ferrari 5000 from Acer. Gateway should be commended for choosing to bring a higher fit and finish to the mainstream without bringing the corresponding higher cost.

When it comes to the main strength of the Gateway E-100M and NX100X, it's price. The NX100X starts as just $1400 (with instant rebate) while the E-100M starts at $1200 (with instant rebate). When you factor in the small and lightweight form-factor, the best keyboard we've tested to date (despite its size), and exceptional build quality, this is a notebook that clearly could have been sold at a far higher price. Our only complaints? Battery life and the lack of an integrated drive ? things that are generally true for all 12" ultraportable notebooks that are less than 1" thick.

The line between the computer monitor and LCD TV has once again been blurred with the introduction of Gateway's latest 21-inch monitor, the FPD2185. While the FPD2185 isn't exactly a full-blown television, it fortunately carries some of the best qualities you will find in a high-end LCD TV like component video inputs, picture-in-picture and HDTV support. Priced at around $599, the FPD2185 appeals to a very broad audience, but Gateway could have polished the overall package a tad bit more to make this monitor a must-have item...

The Gateway CX200X is, as the company describes, targeted towards consumers who seek a full-featured notebook PC combined with pen input functionality. While the CX200X certainly delivers in this regard, it is extremely hampered by its bulky size and weight which make it less than desirable to cradle for too long when in tablet mode. Marks are good for performance and features however, helping to keep this convertible from the scrap heap...

The specifications of the 524GB are otherwise quite respectable for a machine that will set you back no more than £649.99 with a display. The processor is a 3.2GHz Pentium 4 640 with 2MB cache and this together with 512MB of dual channel PC3200 DDR memory is fitted to an Intel 915G motherboard. You would almost expect to see DDR2 memory in a Pentium 4 based system these days, but the performance difference is quite negligible at these speeds...
