The Gateway LT41P is a 10 inch laptop with a touchscreen display, an Intel Celeron Bay Trail processor, and Windows 8 software. List prices start at $330, but TigerDirect has had an entry-level model available for a few weeks for just $280.
That makes the LT41P one of the most inexpensive 10 inch touchscreen notebooks around.
For that price you get a little laptop with a 1.46 GHz Intel Celeron N2805 dual-core processor, a 10.1 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel touchscreen display, 2GB of RAM, and a 320GB hard drive.
The notebook runs Windows 8 32-bit software, comes with Microsoft Office 2013 Home & Student, and measures 10.1″ x 7.2″ x 1.3″ and weighs 2.4 pounds.
The base model has a 28Whr battery which should provide up to 5 hours of battery life. There’s also a model with a larger 56Whr battery which should be good for up to 10 hours — but which brings the laptop’s weight up to 2.7 pounds.
According to the Gateway website, there are 5 different versions of the laptop — but 4 of them seem to be identical. The stand-out is the Gateway LT41P09u, which has the larger battery and sells for $350.
The Gateway LT41p first showed up in Europe in October, where it’s also sold under the Packard Bell brand. Gateway and Packard Bell are both subsidiaries of Acer.
Win 8 and not Win 8.1 — why?
Can’t wait for 4+ GB of RAM Bay Trail M “premium” 10″ netbooks next year. Hopefully, Intel comes out with some quad cores that support AES-NI.
Take an ASUS T100, bump it up to 13″ with a full size keyboard, add a larger touchpad, a full-size HDMI port and another usb port or two to the base and a microSD slot and another 2 GIG of RAM to the tablet and charge $500-550 and I would buy that thing all day long. To me, the T100 is 2-3 rather minor compromises away from being the PERFECT device for me. I have a wad of cash I am dying to spend on the right 2-in-1, but no one wants to built that winning device for some reason. Maybe soon.
Doesn’t this pretty much describe the HP Pavilion 13z-p100 x2 PC? Last I looked on sale for $549.00.
I don’t understand why they did not make it detachable like ASUS T100?
Bay trail works with out fan and gives good battery life then why not make it a tablet with keyboard dock?
That is why T100 is selling well. If Gateway can undercut T100 it will sell better than all of their other laptops.
That sure is a great price.
I hope the quality is good too.
I think that is a really great price for that computer. It will definitely be one of the computer that I will consider when replacing my current one.
