Gateway/C-Cube notebook............................. pcworld.com 2. Gateway Solo 515OLS Product Information PRO: Second fastest notebook tested, versatile modular bay, huge screen CON: On the heavy side of average, can't use two batteries at once What a difference a chip makes. Thanks to a new Pentium II-366 processor, Gateway's Solo 5150LS rockets into first place on the power chart. With a performance jump of more than 20 percent over the PII-300 version of the notebook, and a price increase of less than $100, this desktop replacement stands out as a terrific presentation machine. It's not the fastest notebook we've tested (another PII-366, Dell's Inspiron 7000 A366LT, claims that honor with a PC WorldBench 98 score of 191), but the 5150LS comes close, with a score of 186. The $3134 5150LS has all the software, hardware, and accessories you'll need to compute in style in the office or at home; a copy of Microsoft Office 97 Small Business Edition comes preinstalled. For making big, colorful presentations or watching movies, the notebook pairs a sharp 14.1-inch screen with a DVD-ROM drive and an MPEG-2 decoder card. Move the 5150LS into the living room, and you can use the built-in TV jack to port DVD movies to a bigger screen (though you'll have to buy your own cable).
