Highly reminiscent of the recently released LT3100 netbook in design, the LT2000 goes for Intel Atom instead of the AMD Athlon processor, and shaves off another inch from its display.  But that’s not all that it has dropped, as the price tag is also a $100 lighter.  For $299.99, the LT2000 comes with the following configuration:

• Intel Atom Processor N270 (1.60GHz, 533MHz FSB, 512KB L2 Cache)
• Genuine Microsoft Windows XP Home (Service Pack 3)
• 10.1-inch WSVGA 16:9 ratio TFT LCD (1,024×600 resolution)
• Mobile Intel 945GSE Express Chipset
• 1024MB DDR2 533 MHz SDRAM
• 160GB SATA 5,400RPM Hard Drive
• Integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 950
• Multi-in-1 Digital Media Card Reader
• 802.11b/g Wi-Fi
• Web Camera
• Two Built-in Stereo Speakers
• Dolby Headphone Technology
• Three USB 2.0 Ports
• 3-cell Li-ion Battery
• One-Year Standard Warranty
• 2.62 lbs.
• 10.17 (w) x 7.24 (D) x 1.03 inches (H)

The Gateway LT2000 is available starting today in colors of Nightsky Black and Cherry Red for the above-mentioned price, so if don’t own a netbook, this sounds like the deal you might like.
