The wider-than-normal multitouch touchpad is comfortable, easy to locate, and responded decently to multitouch scrolling, although the mirrored single-bar rocker button beneath, lying nearly flush with the track pad, was awkward to use. A single power button on the top right is the only non-keyboard button on the laptop: narrow function keys across the top offer the rest of the controls, with additional volume and brightness attached to the arrow keys. An adjoining number pad along the right side is convenient to have, and thankfully the direction-arrow keys are positioned to neither intrude on the number keys or the right-side Return and Shift keys. Gateway's keyboards are all wide and flat across its product line, and despite not always being a fan of flat keyboard designs, we found the matte, slightly textured keys easy to press and comfortable to use. On a slightly annoying note, though, the L-shaped AC adapter tip plugs right next to the drive door, and can block the door from opening depending on the angle that it's facing. The EC5809u manages to include an optical drive in its narrow chassis, much like the Asus UL50VT. The battery is well-integrated underneath, so the EC5809u rests flat and packs cleanly in a backpack with no bulge. A denim blue brushed-metal lid (red and silver are also available) with its signature off-center chrome Gateway logo opens neatly to reveal a clean interior: matte black around the flat keyboard and large inset off-center trackpad, glossy black plastic around the inset glossy screen. While wide and flat, this notebook's most definitely thin. and f.)*Smile - I prefer WD or Maxtor, eventually Seagate.The first impression this thin 15-incher gives is of being a near lookalike to the Acer Timeline series, and that's not a bad thing. Anyway, what do you think now, should I order new HDD? the old is samsung made, my opinion about samsung HDD is.
About trivial suggestion (I think it isn't trivial, it's a very common mistake), when I removed CD, there is message "OS not found", but I know, I don't have to do it, that problem was with 3.5" drive during win95, 98. The most stupid thing is, after I made new partitions, reformated'em, I went into the bios and IDE 0 - nothing, IDE - 1 cdrw/dvd drive. I was using win98 start disc, because I didn't know how to get into the DOS, but no results. I thought I have the same problem with laptop, gateway did something. A few days ago I had problem with desktop (gateway), Bios upgrade, and everything was about "bios tatooing by gateway". It looks like that: this isn't my first time with win reinstalation but first time with laptop.
