Description

The listing, Gateway 2 in 1 Laptop/Tablet has ended.

This is a Gateway Model No. 275! The middle school upgraded it's electronics this year and this great laptop was decommissioned. I actually got about 20 of these at once. I've sold a couple on Lista and the rest elsewhere. I always got good feedback on all I've sold. Some had windows 7 professional installed. This one has windows xp professional. They all were initially locked so I purchased a windows xp disk and installed it on most of them, but I lost the disk before I could install it on this one, so this one is still locked. The professionals I've taken these to said that the school deactivated some of the features, such as wireless and touchscreen (probably to keep the school kids safe and in line) but otherwise the computer is in great shape! A pro or most people computer literate can probably reactive all of its features. I'm not sure if any hardware upgrade is required. I know that you will have to install an operating system because the computer is locked. Comes with charger and battery holds a charge. No cracks in screen, apparent damage and all have functioned properly. The first two pictures shown are of the computer you will get. The rest of the pics are of how the other computers looked once I reinstalled an operating system. I've given you the model number so that you can research the specs.
DVD Rom, no web cam.

I added GIN because I see some of you would like to purchase it outright. Thanks. The operating system, xp, I installed on it was only $6 on ee-bay (probably a knock off, but it worked!). Someone purchased a bunch of them from me and I accidentally had the disk in the box. Most of these computers had windows 7 professional installed

I really don' t know the answer to your great question; from what I have ascertained from selling the rest is that; some of its function may have been deactivated, like wireless and touch screen. Computer wiz find them valuable because they know how to set it right up. I don't.

Do you have anymore that are unlocked? It will cost a lot for me to get another OS to install on this one...otherwise, I will GIN and pay shipping if you have one that is unlocked :)

Do you have the system install disk as well? If I reformat to try and get another OS on there, I will need the system install disk as well or the laptop will be useless, haha

I don't know what you mean by "system". It works fine once it has a new os installed. I'm not a wiz so all I can say is to analyze whether you can use it for yourself. Thanks.
