A nice multipurpose machine for small business users, the lightweight Gateway M255-E features a well-designed keyboard, 14.1-inch widescreen display, and an Intel Core Duo processor with excellent multitasking performance.
This laptop also boasts PC Card and SmartCard slots, four USB ports, a Firewire port, and a 7-in-one card reader, providing plenty of versatility and potential for multimedia accessories. A dual-layer DVD burner makes the M225 a good choice for watching and making videos, but its graphics hardware probably won’t be adequate for those with gaming in mind.
All things considered, Gateway obviously designed this machine with business users in mind. From its strong battery life and Windows XP Professional operating system to its high-performance dual-core processor, the M255-E is all you’ll need to do work on the go.
