1. the no name generic hard drive had a ton of bad blocks and was already failing causing random freezing..
2. no backlight keyboard
3. 2 m.2 slots (which is a good thing) both slots only accept m.2 sata drives (which is a bad thing)
4. can charge and display out over the usb-c
5. trackpad texture felt horrible and was not very precise
6. keyboard was not that great compared to a cheap HP laptop
7. open bios where you can boost GPU
8. Good CPU/RAM for the price.
I decided to pay a little more and go with a lenovo backlight keyboard, with nvme support and a decent ssd.

It's just a rebadged Evoo. Read those reviews and decide. Very poor QC and worse CS/warranty support.

#2 - Good luck finding BIOS updates if you need them.
#3 - Drivers, no chance of vendor specific ones...but the drivers from Intel's site likely sufficient.
#4 - Expect close to Zero Support from Gateway itself, since at this point the name is just being licensed out.
All that being said, some of the deals may be just fine, but if everything else was equal, I would go with a Dell, HP, Lenovo, etc...., but of course 'everything else equal' rarely happens.
Windows has tools built in to do that. Such as defragmentation.
