Are you talking about their 11-12" models that don't come with optical drives? Most systems with AMD Neo processors are now being labeled as netbooks. They started off as being ultra portable notebooks but now they are "officially" netbooks. Having said that, I am unfamiliar with any of Gateway's netbooks running the AMD Neo line. I definitely wouldn't purchase a 13-17" notebook with an AMD Neo chip as they aren't designed for that. They were designed to be put in 10-12" netbooks to compete with the Intel Atom line of chips, now with Intel's Core 2 Duo line or new Core iX series.
Instead, maybe you can give us a direct link to the model you were looking at so that we aren't playing the guessing game as to whether you are talking about an actual netbook or a notebook. This site is for netbook discussion only, you can discuss notebooks in the off-topic area (which is where this thread will be moved to if you are actually talking about notebooks).
