Yeah, there isn’t much to see here. The new Gateway LT2000 netbook is basicly the same netbook that has been making the rounds over the last two years. There isn’t a single thing to set this netbook apart from the rest of the crowd besides the somewhat attractive color scheme and the Gateway branding. In fact, you probably already know the hardware specs.

Ready? The LT2000 has a 1.6GHz Atom N270 CPU paired with GMA950 graphics, 1GB of RAM, 160GB HDD, and a 10.1 1024×600 screen. See what I mean? This netbook is nothing special at all. Good thing it’s MSRP is only $299.
This IS pretty special. Aside from one-of bait and switch sale pricing, the best deal around is the aging ASUS EeePC950HA at $250, but they’re getting impossible to find at that price due to demand. This thing has a physically larger screen at $299 and you can actually buy one it seems. I wonder if they did something stupid like solder 512MB on the mobo like Acer does – this prevents you from being able to upgrade to 2GB SDRAM.
