The Gateway Solo 2300 was unconfined around the turn of the century, making it about six years old, a dinosaur in the terms of computer. It has a two hundred megahertz Pentium processor, compared to today's processor speeds of near two Gigahertz and more. It does not have wireless high-speed Internet facility, but could possibly be upgraded to achieve basic online functions using a wireless laptop card. If you are looking for the cheapest possible laptop system to be able to go on the internet and performs very simple text processing and word processing function, the Gateway Solo 2300 is certainly reasonably priced. The deals I was able to find on eBay for the Gateway Solo 2300 (and note, that was the only place I was instantly able to find it) were around twenty-five dollars for the complete system. The system itself cost only about as much as its peripherals, the power supply and backup batteries. A new one hundred and twenty eight megabyte RAM chip for the Gateway Solo 2300 cost about the same amount as the whole systems.

I also found some lots of Gateway Solo 2300 jointed with other Gateway PCs from around the same era. These were being sold for parts and were priced around fifty dollars for a set of four. If you are looking for some reasonably priced parts from that era or just like having more laptop computers around for the most essential functions, you may want to give up buying a more exclusive modern laptop and check out one of these models. If finding a purposeful laptop personal computer for the lowest possible price is your goal, you could possibly do no better than looking on eBay for one of these Gateway Solo 2300 notebook personal computers today.
