Packard Bell Dot M/A now available in the UK
AMD may not be making as big a splash in the netbook space as Intel, or even VIA. But the company’s Athlon L110 64 bit CPU powers the Gateway LT3100 mini-notebook with an 11.6 inch display. At least, that’s what the notebook is called in the US. In Europe, it’s called the Packard Bell Dot […]
Analysts: AMD’s lack of a netbook chip is hurting sales
Intel, VIA, and ARM are all over the netbook and low power computing market. AMD, not so much.

Packard Bell has unveiled the Dot M/A mini-notebook in Belgium. And if this 11.6 inch laptop looks familiar, that’s because it’s exactly the same machine as the Gateway LT3100 which is available in the US. Not that this should come as a surprise to anyone. Both Gateway and Packard Bell are subsidiaries of Acer. Like […]
Gateway LT3103u reviewed, liked
Gateway’s LT3100 series notebooks are a bit larger than typical netbooks, but they pack 11.6 inch, 1366 x 768 pixel displays which help me foregive the extra size. The other thing that sets the LT3100 apart from pretty much every netbook on the market is the fact that it ships with an AMD Athlon L110 […]
Gateway launches $400 AMD powered mini-laptop
