Gateway M210XL Review

By Ian Bell Updated March 24, 2005

Quote from the review:

“The M210 series of laptops from Gateway is the company’s new line of lightweight laptop computers and competes directly with Sony’s S series, Dell’s new 700M, and a few of Panasonic’s more stylish Toughbook laptops among other brands. Weighing in at 5.29lbs the M210 is Gateway’s lightest laptop currently available and features a wide-screen display and some pretty powerful hardware under the hood. When it comes to styling, Gateway has pretty much been hit or miss but we think the new M210 has the stuff to compete with the likes of Sony, but ultimately you will have to decide on that. There are three models available in the M210 product line. The M210S which starts at $749.99, the M210X which starts at $999.99 and the ultra-loaded M210XL which is what we are reviewing today.”

Want an M3 Max MacBook Pro? There’s a lengthy wait ahead

If you’ve been holding out for a super-powered MacBook Pro with a high-end M3 Pro or M3 Max chip, you could have a lengthy wait on your hands. That’s because, despite Apple’s plans to launch new Macs later this year, several are reportedly going to miss the cut.

That’s according to journalist Mark Gurman, who claims in a new report that Apple’s flagship 16-inch and 14-inch MacBook Pro models are unlikely to launch until the middle of 2024. Worse, the M3 Mac mini might not see the light of day until late 2024 at the earliest.

Should you buy the M2 MacBook Pro or wait for the M3?

It's been over a year since the M2 was announced, with the chip first appearing in the 13-inch MacBook Pro and 13-inch MacBook Air. With the M3 chip on the horizon, you might wondering if you're better off waiting or just buying one of the current MacBook Pros?

While nothing about the M3 MacBook Pro is official yet, there's been a lot of reporting about what we can expect from these next-gen laptops.

I’m a laptop reviewer, and this is the one to send your kid to college with

I've reviewed many of the major laptops released over the past few years, and one of the most common questions I get is about which laptop to buy for a kid going off to college.

You need something portable and light, but not one that compromises quality either. And more than anything, it needs to be fairly affordable, which rules out a lot of the more expensive premium laptops you can buy. There's one Windows laptop, in particular, that hits all these marks -- and it may not be one you've heard of. I'm talking about the Asus ZenBook 14 OLED.
