delete Too specific. Gateway are notable, but no evidence that this narrow facet of their product line is.Andy Dingley (talk) 15:34, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
Keep. Passes WP:GNG per [1] [2] [3] [4], [5]--five long reviews in reliable sources CNET, Laptopmag, PC Magazine, PC World and Computer Shopper. I agree that it would perhaps be better for our readers if this were a section of an article on Gateway laptops or even Acer laptopts, (Gateway being an Acer brand nowadays), but those overview articles don't seem to exist and not for lack of sources. There is one for the Acer Aspire line of notebooks, but this one isn't suitable for merger there unless the focus of that article is enlarged first. As I said on the talk page before this AfD was started, the name of the article is also bad, because “LT3103u” refers to the Nightsky Black model, (“LT3114u” is Cherry Red for instance); the more appropriate name would have been Gateway LT31 or perhaps Gateway LT3100 series. (By the way, did anyone notice that some Asian brands have figured out that they need to use catchy names for their products? We even have an article on the Asus Eee Keyboard or Lenovo IdeaPad Yoga ...) Searching for "Gateway LT3100 series" finds some more tech news coverage [6] TechCrunch, [7] CNET News, [8] Engadget, [9] eWeek, etc. I don't see how these references are any different from those used in similar Wikipedia articles.

Delete: Non-notable, individual product from a company. Probably has been reviewed a lot as Tijfo098 says, but that's standard for consumer products -- too weak for a WP:GNG-presumption for me. Note that I wouldn't object to a merge to a likely article if one can be found. -- BenTels (talk) 09:32, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- I still think this article could stand on its own given that the product got an Editor's Choice etc., but being significant enough because of its choice of CPU, I've added something about it at Netbook, so we could redirect there. Tijfo098 (talk) 14:36, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
- I've created a page for Gateway netbooks and merged some of its contents over there, so this can be a redirect there now. Tijfo098 (talk) 11:37, 10 September 2012 (UTC)
