11.6 inch Gateway EC14D laptop comes with DVD unit

Gateway just anounced a new toy at CES and it’s actually pretty interesting. With just an 11.6 inch display, it’s actually compact and light and could be easily placed in the nerbooks class. However, hardware inside make it more: a powerful ultra-thin mini laptop with nice autonomy and a decent price.

And speaking of that hardware, this Gateway EC14D is one of the first 11.6 inch devices built on CULV architecture. See specs below:

• Intel ULV S4100 processor (1.3 GHz)
• 11.6 inch HD display (1366×768 px) , LED backlit
• Intel GS45 chipset and GMA 4500MHD graphics
• 4 GB of memory
• 320 GB hard-drive
• integrated DVD player
• multi-touch touchpad
• 6 Cell battery
• weighs only 3.6 lbs

All these make the EC14D quite a power-horse, in fact the most potent mini laptop in its class.

Gateway EC14D - powerfull 11.6 inch mini laptop

Of course, all these goodies come with a price, as the above configuration will sell for $629 . That’s nearly twice the price of a regular standard netbook, but if you want a trully powerfull travel notebook, this might be the one. What do you think, is the price fair for this Gateway EC14D ?
