The Gateway LT3103u has a 1 year warranty. Drivers can be downloaded and extra information can be obtained from the company's website. Technical support is available on phone and on online chat as well for certain period of time.

The Gateway LT3103u gets a kick performance-wise from its addition of a 1.2GHz AMD Athlon 64 L110 processor. As most of the netbooks use Intel Atom processors, Gateway's uses AMD which makes it a netbook user-friendly. The Gateway LT3103u is also better performance-wise due to its 2GB of DDR2 SDRAM, which is almost double than others in its class. A hefty 250 GB HDD provides plenty of storage space.

The LT3103u uses Vista as OS, in place of XP used by other netbooks. The added performance in the LT3103u lets it handle Vista with ease. The 6 cell lithium ion in the LT3103u provides only 3 hours of life, which is the only area in which it lacks form its competitors.
