Gateway M305The Gateway M305 is a media oriented computer released in 2003. As it has been only a few years since the Gateway M305 came out, it is still useful for a variety of media tasks, and is available now at a very attractive price for budget conscious computer users.The Gateway M305 has a forty gigabyte hard drive, two hundred and fifty six megabytes of memory, an Intel Celeron two point two gigahertz processor, and a 24x CD-RW disc drive. It has a fifteen inch screen; making it a good system for viewing photos, but the lack of a DVD drive would be considered a downside. Another serious downside to consider is the Gateway M305's lack of wireless internet, which is a must among current laptop personal computers. The Gateway M305 has a v.92 56Kbps modem and an ethernet port. If you are comfortable with plugging your laptop personal computer into the wall for internet, fine, but most laptop personal computer users these days have grown tired of having to use lots of cords. If you are looking for a very basic computer that doesn't need to be particularly fast and run the most recent programs, but just for very basic text processing tasks and occasional low speed internet browsing, the Gateway M305 may represent a good deal. However, I had a hard time finding the Gateway M305 online, even through online auction sites. The only things that I could immediately find on internet auction sites such as eBay and Froogle were components such as LCD screens, keyboard, backup batteries and power supplies compatible with the Gateway M305, so if you are interested in buying the actual laptop personal computer and not just in finding components to extend the life of your existing one, you may be out of luck depending on market forces. All in all, if you are looking for a reliable older laptop computer, I would suggest checking out another model with greater distribution, as you are likely to be in the market for add on parts and upgrades and that may be a concern when it is hard enough to actually find the system for sale online.
