Weighing in at a mere 3.14 lbs (1.42 kg), the Gateway LT3103u comes equipped with an 11.6-inch LCD display screen capable of 720p HD and arrives as something of a departure in Netbook circles as it carries an AMD Athlon 64 L110 processor — rather than the eponymous Intel Atom so prevalent across the budget, ultra-mobile sector.

Boasting a full-size keyboard and a multi-gesture touchpad, the LT3103u also stands out from the Netbook crowd thanks to the inclusion of an ATI Radeon X1270 graphics card, 2GBs of DDR2 RAM, a spacious 250GB hard disk drive, and a six-cell Lithium-ion battery promising five hours of single-charge operation.
