Reviews for the Gateway M-151XL
Source: Comp Reviews Archive.org version
Gateway's M-151XL is really just an updated version of the previous M-150XL. It addressed some of the big issues such as the limited hard drive space and the slower than average processor, but it still retains some of the flaws of the old system like the lack of a FireWire port.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
