Reviews for the Gateway GWNC21524-RD
Source: PC Mag
Some concessions have to be made when shopping for a budget laptop. You won't be playing Elden Ring very well on anything much less than $800, and you might even have trouble running multiple programs on something in this price range. The Celeron N4020 was never meant for heavy workloads, and the 4GB of RAM is a tough limitation. Pair them with a mostly plastic chassis and a lackluster screen, and the Gateway Ultra Slim feels like a machine that offers what you pay for it, and no more. The once-mighty Gateway may not be a heavy hitter in the PC industry anymore, but you aren't spending this kind of money to get powerful specs, and if you're shopping for someone who will use a computer only minimally (say, for basic browsing and email), you can definitely do worse for $230. If you’re looking for a machine with better performance, though, you should expand your budget slightly more. A limit of $400 to $500 will get you an excellent Chromebook like the Acer Chromebook 514, or perhaps a configuration of our Editors' Choice pick for budget laptops, the Lenovo Ideapad 3 14.
