2 . Introduction

In the midst of selling its business, government, and education units to MPC, Gateway placed two very different laptops on the lower half of our all-purpose chart.

In sixth place is the T-6815, still branded as a Gateway on retail shopping sites. Its $900 price is right, but its sluggish performance and dim screen aren't so attractive. The overall package is complete, though--especially if you live in e-mail or in Microsoft Word and aren't picky about screen brightness.

It's rare to find a tablet as speedy as the former Gateway E-295C, which is now sold on MPC's site. It's also difficult to find a tablet with a screen so big and roomy. The downside of the E-295C: It's heavy to carry for long stretches, though its size makes the machine comfortable to use on a desktop.
