While everyone was cower over Apple and its shiny - screen MacBooks , Gateway slipped the password out about its NS100X UltraPortable notebook . Since it ’s less than an inch thick , Gateway determine to call it ultrathin , and it ’s fairly light source at 3.15 Syrian pound with a 12.1 - column inch widescreen display at 1280×800 pixel .
But wait . Gateway inexplicably equipped the notebook with the limp - wristed Intel Core Solo processor at 1.06GHz or an optional 1.2GHz . Perhaps that decrepit chip spec was have in mind to keep the toll low , where pricing starts at $ 1399 . Still tough to believe , especially considering that you’re able to get a MacBook with a 1.83GHz Core Duo chip and a gig of random access memory for $ 1199 .
assay to make up for that boo-boo is a little bit of RAM muscle with 1 GB installed in the base manikin , along with a six - in - one media circuit card lector , FireWire and USB 2.0 port , build up - in 802.11 a / vitamin B / g WiFi and load with Windows XP Pro . Still , what were they thinking ? $ 200 more , sluggish chip ? People will start out not - buying the NS100X on May 26 .
