Computerworld has published a review of the stylish Gateway's LT2118u. The LT2118u tested amazingly for battery, running up to 11 hours and 17 minutes! This was surprising because on paper the LT2118u is no different from its sister unit, the LT2120u except for the color of the cover, and yet, was able to run an additional hour and a half longer.
Apart from the astonishing battery life, the LT2118u is your standard Windows 7 Starter netbook, with its "same less-than-snappy, but doable feel". The keyboard is fine, but with a large gap between the keys makes for a ton of space for dust and other particles to collect. Vacuum regularly is the advice. The touchpad is an area of raised bumps that makes it easy to find by feel.
In conclusion, "The LT2118u is all about style and endurance. It's a cut above the average netbook in appearance and is easy to upgrade--and you certainly can't complain about the 11-plus hours of run time."
