User Reviews for Gateway Gateway 600XL 2.0GHz

  • Reviewed by: jrmbullrider

    Duration of ownership:

    Strengths: Very fast. Great large screen. Runs great even with many applications running.

    Weaknesses: I does tend to get hot and freeze every once in a while.

    Overall Evaluation: This is a great product. The only down fall is the weight. I currently only have one battery in it and it still fills kind of heavy. You can add two more batteries to it, which would obviously make it more heavy. Other than that I would recomment this product.
