Gateway EC14D07u

Gateway adding a DVD burner to its Netbook like form factor and dual-core processor, the Gateway EC14D07u fills a need for those who can’t say goodbye to physical discs, although it comes at a price that befits a full-size laptop.

Advantages: Compact laptop manages to still have an optical drive as well as decent dual-core performance and battery life.
