I have observed that many users or prospective buyers want a quick pros and cons and a quick overview in place of reading lengthy reviews. In today's fast pace life no one has time to read on a 4 page review on one particular product and then move on to read review on other product.
With this in mind I am changing my style of writing. I will give a quick pros and cons followed by a quick final thought. If you feel like it is something that appeals you can always continue to ready or you may move on.
Pros
* Long battery life
* includes HDMI output
* Nice Display
Cons
* Dual core in place of Core 2 Duo
* Audio speaker quality could be better
Bottomline
The battery life and the low cost option makes gateway T-6330U an attractive option. However becasue of the Dual core processor in place of Core 2 Duo makes me look for other options in similar price.

Gateway has been trying to capture the low cost notebook market with this notebook. It is able to do so by using a low cost Intel Pentium Dual-Core processor instead of the Core 2 Duo Processor. Its performance is adequate for basic surfing and word processing uses. If you are using it as high end computer, then you may like to consider some better choice. This notebook has a price tag of around $499. There are still some better choices though.
