Gateway’s newest laptops, the TC Series

Gateway (they’re still around?) just introduced two notebook computers which comprise its TC Series.

Their tagline is “Beautiful, powerful and lightweight? You better believe it.” Is the TC line “beautiful?” It’s nice looking, but “beautiful” is a bit of a stretch. The back of the 14-inch 16:9 LCD looks nice, with either a red or black shiny finish. The keyboard area has the brushed look. The rest of the PC looks a bit bulky.

How powerful is it? Both models, the TC7306u and the TC7307u, have 2GHz Intel Pentium Dual Core processors and they both run the 64-bit version of MS Windows Vista Home Premium so it can take advantage of the 4GB of RAM installed.
