Why you should buy the Gateway 14-inch full HD Chromebook

Gateway isn’t a name you’ll see among the best laptop brands, but it is a reputable one.

That’s kind of the thinking with this Gateway 14-inch full HD Chromebook.

This particular model has an Intel Celeron processor and 4GB of RAM — nothing great for Windows but just fine for ChromeOS. More impressively, it has 128GB of eMMC storage.
