He was there only two weeks and the computer completely crashed. The process for its repair has been slow and arduous. I talked to Gateway to see if anything could be done to expedite the situation, and was virtually given a flat 'no'. Not a pleasant conversation and one that should not have had to take place had the laptop been worthwhile. from Circuitcity.com I was worried that my old five-ear-old laptop might crash and started my search. this is my first Gateway -- always HP before -- and I like it. It's easy to use, lighter than my old laptop. from Circuitcity.com The design of this Gateway is impressive. Much more than just a rectangular box. from Circuitcity.com Well I just bought it last week, actually I paid just $720.00 because I bought the display notebook. There's not a single complain about the notebook, perhaps the only thing that I don't like is the lack of power on the speakers. from Circuitcity.com I only buy Gateway computers and have never been disappointed. This laptop is awesome. from Circuitcity.com After spending time comparing prices, configurations and other specs, I bought this Gateway notebook computer to replace a 10-year-old HP. I have been pleased with every aspect of my purchase. from Circuitcity.com I've been a Gateway fan for about 20 years and I can truthfully say that they finally 'Got it Right'. This laptop has a huge hard drive with all the RAM you'll ever need. from Circuitcity.com My daughter and son-in-law bought the machine when I was in America last month. The notebook has excellant storage, 4 GB Ram and really is fast. The right and the left click buttons in the mouse pad is a big pain. from Circuitcity.com After a month of use, I am very satisfied with this PC. This is a fantastic value notebook for the specs. I was looking for the most RAM with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor. from Circuitcity.com With 4 gig of ram and 64 bit vista (32 bit is available as an option/dual boot), I looked at this notebook as one that will handle applications going forward. And for the price, you could not go wrong. from Circuitcity.com
