gateway lt2030u vs asus 1005ha: I am not all that tech savvy so I was wondering if there was a clear winner between the two?

I have the Gateway LT2030u. I can not make a direct comparison to the AUSU but my experience streaming video on the Gateway has been positive. I have not loaded any games on the netbook but I would guess the performance would be based on the demands of the game.

Well, there are a few reviews now! There's also a review of a similar earlier model at pcmag.com. The A53E-EH71 has an upgraded processor and a USB 3.0 port. --Also, the leading product ratings magazine rated the Asus U56E-BAL7 as being very quick and suitable for moderate gaming. It has the slower core i5 processor, and the same integrated graphics (Intel 3000 HD) as the Asus A53E-EH71. ; )http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2389349,00.asp

I upgraded with no issues. I used this Kingston Value RAM from home depot, and it works great in my Gateway (I have the LT2032u - same as the LT2030u, but in Black).http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/469115/Kingston-KVR667D2-2GR-DDR2-Memory-Upgrade/However, the price is a bit high at the moment. I only paid $32 on sale, and it's back up to the regular price of $49.

The U100 is upgradeable to 2gig memory and has more wireless capability, incl bluetooth. I want the memory for photo editing. After I purchased this little puppy, I dumped my new entertainment pc and desktop. I found that I just kept reaching for the U100. I had evaluated the Asus HE and the Samsung. Both weighed more, and the Samsung cost a lot more. I am quad booting this with XP, OSX, Linux, and Windows 7 so that I can test my web site on several platforms. What a solid, well-designed little machine! The keyboard and speaker issues are minor compared to the tremendous value and flexibility of this laptop, and are easily dealt with.

amazon is not all there when it comes to tech support,but it is totally up to you .if you want to get the most out of you're asus or any pc, then i highly recommend doing the upgrade. besides the upgrade would not harm your pc in any way ,it will only improve it.

I was going to buy a prime in January, but then started reading about all the problems with WiFi and GPS. Figured I'd wait for the 700, and meanwhile checked out all the competition. I still have an ASUS 1000HE netbook that has been flawless for five years so really wanted to try ASUS again. When the 300 showed up months ahead of the 700 I figured why not? I've had mine less than a week but I'm delighted with it and glad I didn't wait. I can't see how any of the functionality promised by the 700 (or the Prime, for that matter) would make any difference in how I use the 300. It does everything I need and does it well (so far).

hey Hector...Well, I went with the Asus UL30vt-x1 at last... I´m expecting it today... Thanks for your help...

Thanks Superhero Jonathan! So helpful. I guess I am watching to see when UL80VT comes back into stock here in the next 24-48 hours if the Asus rep is right.

i wish i could help you, but, i know nothing about your gateway. my gateway is a ne56r10u and it hooked up fine. i don't see why it wouldn't. try and see. if not return it.

The U120 has NO memory slot, the 1GB included is built into the motherboard, that is why this is cheaper than the U100. If you install Ubuntu or OSX, there shouldn't be any problems. I'm not sure, but 1GB of ram for a windows machine is chintzy on MSI's part. Seriously, no expansion? Who does that?

M., I just spoke to ASUS and they do NOT recommend an upgrade to the 1000he. They will not get into Mhz that I can use, just simply state "The 1000he comes with 1GB 667Mhz. We do not recommend you upgrade to 2GB or change the Mhz. ANY upgrades to the system will void it's warrenty."Can you give me any argument on this?

I can't recommend other than the ASUS X202E Touchscreen Ultrabook. Please check with ASUS to be sure.

Both boards are awesome, and come from solid manufacturers. RMA policies for both are great (albeit slow sometimes). It really boils down to price and application. The GA board has 6x SATA connectors and WiFi while the Asus has 4x SATA connectors and no WiFi. The Gigabyte also has Dual LAN (one Intel, one Atheros). The Asus supports DDR3 3200 while the Gigabyte only supports DDR3 3100. The Asus appears to have better heatsinks on the power devices which is typically better for overclocking. The Asus also has an M.2 slot, which isn't a big deal unless you really plan on using it. When I built my rig I went with the Gigabyte for its feature-set and price point and couldn't be happier.

SU7300 is way better since it supports Intel Virtualization and has an extra 1 MB L2 Cache. Performance depends a lot on L2 Cache. I would go with SU7300 for an extra $50

After doing quite a bit of research, I would add into the mix the MSI Wind U100. I'm looking for the same thing you are, it seems, and I've seen some really great reviews of that machine. I've narrowed it down to the Wind and the Lenovo S10 at this point.

Hi Laquelyn, actually i don't know the relation between gateway and acer, i just bought it for a specific acer model, you should get further assistance from the dealer.
