Again, basic needs, but the first blunder is the performance, running Windows Vista Home Basic is excruciatingly groggy, the boot up did not take long, but reaching the desktop was a disappointing hurdle.再次，基本需求，但这是第一次失误是性能，运行windows vista家庭基本是极其groggy ，开机没有采取长，但达到了桌面是一个令人失望的障碍。 The laptops graphics support AERO Standard which is a watered down version of the AERO Glass theme available in premium Vista SKU’s.笔记本电脑图形支持的航空标准，这是一个淡化版的航空玻璃主题，可在保费sku的境界的。 But, it only downgraded the experience so I just reverted to the more performance friendly AERO Basic which provides a certain level of the Vista user experience.但是，它只是降级的经验，于是我就回复到更多表演友好航空基本法提供了某种程度的境界用户体验。 Still I had to do some tweaks to get more performance; I turned off some of the visual effects for instance from under the System Properties applet to achieve a more responsive system.我仍不得不做一些微调，以获得更多的表现，我关掉部分的视觉效果，例如，从体制下applet的性能，以实现一个更加顺应制度。 Even then, there was still a bit of grogginess going on but remained acceptable throughout my usage.但即使这样，仍然有少许的grogginess正在进行，但仍然可以接受我的用法。 The system is certified Windows Vista Basic, but I don’t understand how Gateway could seriously ship a system with 512 MBs of RAM!该系统认证的windows vista基本的，但我不明白如何网关可能严重船制度，与512的按揭证券内存！ 1 GB is the minimum to get by without feeling insulted when using this OS. 1 gb的是一个最起码的，以靠而不感到受辱时，使用这种操作系统。 I can’t believe that we are in 2007 and OEMs like these are making such bloopers.我不能相信，我们是在2007年和原始设备制造商一样，这些都是使这种bloopers 。 The Windows Sidebar which I have also noticed on other systems that slow or powerful takes an unusually long time to appear on screen (four Gadgets loaded, Clock, Slideshow, Weather and Notes).窗户侧边，我也注意到，对其他系统缓慢或强大的需一个异常长的时间才能出现在屏幕上（ 4个小玩意装货，时钟，幻灯片放映，天气和债券） 。 I still must give the system credit though, once it was fully booted, applications in addition to Windows Explorer windows opened responsively, but then it would not have if I didn’t make those necessary tweaks and I still experience the hints of performance frustrations when launching things like contextual menus.我仍然必须给予系统的信贷虽然，一旦它被充分启动，应用除了windows探险家窗户打开很负责，但随后便不会，如果我没有这些必要的测试，我仍然体验暗示的表现受到挫折时开展东西上下文菜单。

Everyday Task 日常任务
I did a bunch of common task you would expect a system like this to do, launch Word, typed a few docs, played music, and checked email.我做了许多共同的任务，你会期望一个制度是这样做的，发射字，打字数docs ，发挥音乐，并检查电子邮件。 The ML3109 does not give off a lot of heat and makes working with it from your lap a welcome.该ml3109没有给予过的大量热量，使工作与它从你立一个值得欢迎的。 It’s a striking contrast to the Acer Ferrari 5000 I recently reviewed which is not lap friendly or battery friendly at all.这鲜明对比的宏基法拉利5000人，我最近检讨，是不是圈友好或电池友好可言。 I was able to get approximately 3 hours out of the ML3109 without it feeling like 3 minutes, kudos to the energy efficient Intel Celeron M. I am still worried about performance in particular when it comes to running Vista, which ends up getting a bad name as groggy or not optimized and could ultimately result in the user dissatisfied, choosing to format the system and down grade to Windows XP.我可以获得大约3个小时出了ml3109没有它的感觉就像3分钟，声誉，以节能英特尔赛扬米我还是很担心性能，特别是当谈到运行vista中，结束了越来越坏的名字作为groggy或没有得到优化，并可能最终导致用户不满，选择格式化系统上下年级到windows xp 。 It has happened and I can tell you from my own experiences, my sister-in-law purchased a Dell Inspiron this March and was disgusted by Vista so much that she immediately asked me to format the system and load XP.它已经发生了，我可以告诉你们，从我自己的亲身经历，我和妹妹在法律上购买戴尔inspiron今年3月，被厌恶天地这么多，她马上要求我格式化系统和负载xp的。 Another thing that worries me is that over time, how will this system keep up?另外一件事，我担心的是，随着时间的推移，如何将这个制度跟上？ I don’t see any benefits from the said to be always running Defragment tool and the possibility of a future Service Pack 1 might not bring any changes.我看不出有什么好处，从说，要始终运行defragment工具，并有可能会成为日后service pack 1的，可能不会带来任何改变。
Back to everyday task, the system comes with applications the user can appreciate, some, not so spectacular.回到日常工作中，系统与应用，用户可以欣赏，一些人来说，没有那么壮观。 The popular Microsoft Office 2007 is included but is a trial and it’s the Home and Student Edition which lacks Office Access.热门微软office 2007年列入，而是一个审判和它的家庭和学生自评，缺乏办公接入。 An alternative suite, Microsoft Works 8.5 is included but is pretty much useless by my standards and others who depend on compatibility with Microsoft Office and its advance tools for document creation.另类套装，微软工程8.5在内，但几乎没用，我的标准和其他人依赖于兼容性与微软办公室和其预先工具文件创作风格。 A copy of Microsoft Money 2006 is included, which should come in handy for managing household finances.副本微软钱， 2006年列入改造，都应在方便管理家庭收支。 I like the look and feel of the application.我特别喜欢看和感觉的申请。 Its interesting that its compatible, since I had issues running a higher Money 2006 SKU and even 2007 version on Vista earlier this year.其有趣的是，它兼容了，因为我有问题，运行更高的钱2006年sku的，甚至在2007年版上的前景今年早些时候。
Additional Software 额外的软件
Some of the other applications that come bundled include MSN Encarta Plus, Napster, AOL, Cyber link DVD Suite, Gateway Games (which includes Bejewelled 2 Deluxe and some other lack lustre titles such as Polar Golfer, FATE amounting to a total of eleven), Google Desktop, McAfee Security Center version 7.2, Microsoft Digital Image Starter Edition 2006 (which doesn’t make much sense with Vista’s excellent built in Windows Photo Gallery application, but the added Microsoft Photo Story 3.1 makes up for it).一些其他的应用软件捆绑包括msn的百科全书加，纳普斯特，美国在线，网上链接的dvd套装，网关游戏（其中包括bejewelled二日豪华和其他一些缺乏光泽职衔，如极地高尔夫选手的命运，总金额为11个） ，谷歌桌面， mcafee的安全中心版本7.2 ，微软的数字图像入门版2006 （即不作多大意义与前景的优良建于视窗图片库的应用，但补充说，微软图片故事3.1弥补了它） 。 It’s great for turning your photos into fun home movies, I used it for my cousins wedding pictures and the almost cinematic results left me highly impressed.它的伟大，把你的照片变成有趣的家庭电影，我用它为我的表亲结婚照片和电影差不多的结果，给我留下了非常深刻的印象。
Display and Graphics 显示和图像
The ML3109 features a 14.1 inch wide screen glossy display that makes it really easy on the eyes.该ml3109采用14.1吋宽萤幕显示器光泽这使得它真的容易对眼睛是雪亮的。 It’s very bright and detailed making it great for watching movies, reading text, viewing images and even enjoying screensavers surprisingly!这是非常光明和详细的决策，它非常适合看电影，阅读文本，观看图片，甚至享受屏保令人惊讶！ I am typing this right now on my Dell c840 and it’s almost like night and day.我打字的这一权利，现在对我的戴尔c840 ，它的几乎一样，夜间和日间。 Its one of the nice aspects of ML3109 notebook, but of course its not appropriate in every environment, if you are in lots of light it becomes a bit unbearable, but I rarely find myself using my notebook in broad daylight so I don’t think there is too much to worry about.它的一个好的方面ml3109笔记本，但当然它不适合在每一个环境，如果你是在大量的光变得有点无法忍受，但我很少发现我用我的笔记本电脑在光天化日之下，因此，我不认为有太多的后顾之忧。 The display features a max resolution of 1280 by 800 pixels with a minimum of 800 by 600.该显示器具有最大分辨率1280 800像素最低的为800 600人。 There is also support for External Displays and Projectors for those who want more screen real estate or are giving presentations.此外，还支持外部显示器或投影仪，为那些想要更多屏幕不动产或给予介绍。 The built in ATI Radeon Xpress Series is as basic as it gets, the total Available Graphics Memory is 128 MBs with 64 MB dedicated to Video with Shared System memory totalling 64 MBs.内置ati的芯片组系列，是为基本，因为它得到，可利用的总绘图记忆体，是128按揭证券公司与64甲基溴致力于视频与系统共享内存共64个按揭证券化。 This shared system memory stresses the precious 512 MBs bringing down the amount allocated to the Operating System and applications a meagre 456 MBs of RAM.这项共享系统内存强调珍贵512按揭证券化带来了数额分配给操作系统及应用软件的微薄456按揭证券化的内存。
Keyboard 键盘
It’s kind of tacky, but does not bother me that much; I definitely would replace it in heart beat with my Dell 840c.它的种tacky ，但不打扰我那么多，我肯定会取代它在心跳与我的戴尔840c 。 Also, the layout of one key in particular is a drawback.此外，布局的一个关键，尤其是一个缺点。 The ‘Fn’ key located all the way down at the lower left hand corner results in numerous wrong hits when I’m issuing CTRL associated commands such enabling CTRL + B for bold in Microsoft Word. '新军'的关键所在，所有的路下来，在较低的左手角落，结果在许多错误的创当我发出按ctrl相关命令，例如使按ctrl +乙勇于微软word 。 It’s not geared toward a Pro it seems, I had to readjust to using the right CTRL which kind of disrupts my user experience.这不是面向一个亲看来，我不得不调整使用权按ctrl这种做法打乱了我的用户体验。 There are quick access embedded keys for adjusting the displays brightness, for enabling Wi-Fi, Sleep and many other functions that will come in very handy when on the go.有快速存取的嵌入式按键调整显示器亮度，使无线网络，睡眠和其他许多功能，这点会在很得心应手时，就路要走。
Windows Vista Home Basic x86 视窗vista家庭基本x86
This is Microsoft’s entry level consumer version of their latest desktop operating system.这是微软的入门级消费版的最新桌面操作系统。 I noted some of the features and differences between this and the higher premium SKU’s.我注意到的一些特点和差异，这与较高的保费sku的的。 I am going to be honest, Vista Home Basic while satisfactory for most persons, is not enticing, it features all the common applications such as Windows Calendar, Photo Gallery, Sidebar, Media Player 11 and Movie Maker with out DVD burning support.我要坦白说， vista家庭基本满意，而对于大多数的人，是不是诱人的，它展示了所有常见的应用，如视窗日历，相片廊，侧边栏，媒体播放器11和电影制造商，出dvd刻录支持。 Don’t get me wrong, when you compare Home Basic to say Ultimate, you begin to understand what I mean.不要误会我的意思，当你在家中比较基本的说，最终，你开始明白我的意思。 In fact, if you have used either Home Premium or Ultimate, you appreciate some of the more finer elements such as richer visuals (AERO Glass is a darn good looking UI), Dreamscene (although it has been lacking of late) and Flip 3D for instance.事实上，如果您使用过要么在家保费或极限，你欣赏一些较精细的要素，如丰富的视觉效果（航空玻璃是一个石坝好看用户界面） ， dreamscene （尽管它一直缺乏的已故）和倒装三维为例如。 Also, the stronger feature set such as Meeting Space for collaboration, Media Center/XBOX 360 support and Advanced Backup.同时，强大的功能，例如会议空间，协作，媒体中心/ xbox 360的支持和先进的备份。 Speaking of Backup, I find Vista Ultimate’s Complete PC Backup an amazing asset.谈到备份，我觉得vista的最终的完全电脑备份一个了不起的资产。 It’s quick and easy and makes restoring your system to a working state a cinch.它的快捷和方便，使得恢复你的系统到工作状态，轻而易举。 Its one of the things I would have hoped that Microsoft would have brought to all the SKUs.自己的事情之一，我希望微软将带来的所有产品规格。 I think everybody’s data/computer, whether you are running Vista Ultimate or Home Basic is important.我认为每个人的数据/电脑，不管你正在运行的前景，最终还是回家基本是重要的。 Still, the ability to backup copies of your files and folders is a welcome feature and improvement to Windows without the need for third party software, plus it’s very straightforward and simple too.还有，有能力备份你的文件和文件夹，是一个值得欢迎的特点和改善窗口，而不需要第三方软件，再加上它的很简单，而简单的。
Of course, there is a case for an up sell here for the OEM to take advantage of, but for those who don’t want everything; I think more could have been added to Home Basic without Microsoft thinking that it would cannibalize sales of the other SKUs.当然，有一种情况下，为了出售此为原始设备制造商，以利用，但对于那些不想包揽，我认为更可能已被列入在家基本没有采用微软认为这将损及销售的其他产品规格。 If you do want more, the convenience is included for you through the provided Windows Anytime Upgrade link in the Control Panel.如果你想要更多，以方便包括为您提供的窗口，随时升级环节，在控制面板。 You can also acquire the Anytime Upgrade anywhere Computers and Software is sold if you believe you need to take your Vista experiences further.您也可以掌握，随时升级随时随地电脑和软件，是卖，如果你相信你需要考虑你的vista的经验。 Overall, there were no problems with the operating system with exception of a glitch trying to network both Vista Home Basic and Ultimate in a Workgroup configuration, the Network Diagnostics was of no use, but networking with Windows XP went without a hitch.总体而言，有没有问题，与操作系统除了有毛刺尝试网络环境下，二者vista家庭基本和最终在一个工作群组配置，网络诊断，是没有用的，但网络与windows xp到无故障。

Gateway Recovery Center 网关回收中心
An awesome feature, it makes reinstalling your system and factory installed applications very easy.是一个令人震憾的特点，它使得重新安装你的系统，并在出厂时安装的应用程序很容易。 You can also do a Device Driver Recovery and create an Application/Driver recovery disc with a few clicks.你也可以做设备驱动复苏和创造一种应用/驱动器回收光盘轻轻松松按几下。 But the lack of a separate operating disk makes me frown, that you have to do through the built in Factory System Recovery which includes a Recovery partition (3.6 GBs).但由于缺乏一个独立的操作盘，令我眉，你必须做的，通过内置的工厂体系的复苏，其中包括回收分割（ 3.6 gbs ）的。 Windows Vista Service Pack 1 is rumoured to include a Create an Operating System Recovery Disc feature, so that should come in handy for all the installations of OEM Vista that do not include the OS on a separate disc. windows vista的service pack 1的是传闻中，包括创造这样一个运行系统复原光盘的特点，所以应该来得心应手，为所有装置的原始设备制造商的前景是指不包括操作系统对一个单独的光盘。 This is a problem OEM’s just don’t seem to understand; people do not always want to reinstall all the junk and just want a clean system with their drivers.这是一个问题的oem的公正似乎并不了解，人们并不总是要重新安装所有的垃圾和公正的希望有一个清洁的系统，与他们的司机。
Conclusion 结论
The Gateway ML3901 although bare and basic in some areas is acceptable and appropriate for many users with ‘basic’ needs.网关ml3901虽然戳穿，基本在某些方面是可以接受的和恰当的，许多用户的基本需求。 Although, I find the amount of RAM highly unacceptable.虽然，我觉得数额的ram高度不可接受的。 I think a little sacrifice could have been made and even add a built in web cam, this is 2007, not 1997.我觉得有点牺牲，可已经作出，即使加上内置网络摄像头，这是2007年，而不是1997年。 The technology is there; let’s bring it down to more budget hardware without this need to make it seem like a luxury.该技术是在那儿，让我们把它放下来更多的预算硬件，没有这个需要，让人们感觉像一个奢侈品。 Other features like the built in Media Card reader are nice, but I don’t even use mine.其他的功能，例如内置的媒体卡阅读器是不错的，但我什至不使用地雷。 The system is slow and requires a fair amount of tweaking to get it to a point of responsiveness to make it really useable.该系统是慢，而且需要相当大的调整，以获得它的出发点的反应能力，使之真正可用的。 Don’t think about hardcore gaming on the ML3109, Solitaire and Bejewelled is all the Quake a system like this needs.不想想死撑游戏就ml3109 ，纸牌和bejewelled是所有地震的制度，像这样的需要。 Hopefully future updates to this model and the Windows Vista operating system will provide a better experience.但愿未来的更新，以这种模式和windows vista操作系统，将提供更好的经验。 But, I still see Gateway still offering a newer model their website with a similar configuration.但是，我仍然看到大门依然提供了一个新的模式，在他们的网站上也具备类似的配置。 When will they ever learn?何时才会让他们永远学习？
