Background
The Gateway MA6, model number M465-E, is a business class laptop that was originally released in early 2006. The MA6 was one of the earlier models to ship with a dual core processor. Gateway originally shipped the MA6 running Windows XP Professional.
Identification
Nearly all Gateway laptops from this time period have a very similar case design, so it is important that you identify the model, which can be viewed on the identification sticker on the back of the device on the underside of the CD Drive. The identification sticker should say "MODEL No.:MA6" right below the Gateway Logo. If the computer boots, you can also identify the model and specifications of the device through system control panel, or through running dxdiag (direct x diagnostics tools).
