Gateway M285-E Convertible Tablet PC Review
NotebookReview.com

This is a Tablet PC Convertible, which basically means this is a standard laptop that can be converted into a tablet, so it can be used as both a tablet and a regular notebook. There are several advantages and disadvantages to this. The main downside for many people is the fact that the screen is connected to the rest of the laptop by usually one hinge, and thus this single hinged needs to be quite sturdy in order to withstand the daily grind of the constant changing between modes. Gateway did an excellent job at creating this hinge. While visually it may not look so durable, it is quite the opposite. It feels very solid and I don't have any fear of possibly damaging or breaking off the screen when I am switching between modes.
