Anybody have an experience with the new Gateway series, in particular the 200 series? They're good looking lappys and they have all the specs that I'm looking for.

I currently have a Inspiron 600m, which is a great laptop, just a little bit heavier than I like (around 5.5 to 6 lbs) for everyday carrying. I'm trying to lighten up my load a little bit more and the 200 looks pretty good. My criteria are Pentium M, lighter than my current set up, and at least 14.1" screen.

I know a few people who own Gateway 200X notebooks - the machines seem to be rebadged Samsung X10s.

There are only 2 disadvantages to the Gateway 200X
(1) Use of integrated graphics makes the machine unsuitable for games
(2) Small battery (3-cell standard) gives it half the battery life of other Centrino machines

This machine is a direct competitor to the Fujitsu Lifebook S series
