Lots of Bang for Your Buck! March 9, 2008

I added 1GB of RAM (to 2GB) before even booting up out of the box, which I regret now, just for curiosity reasons, but so far I am very pleased with the twin-core MT6840. I had a Gateway MX7118 before and loved the widescreen display, and I wasn't about to spend a thousand or more bucks on a high-end laptop. I realize you get what you pay for usually, but if you're budget-conscious you could do a lot worse than the MT6840. Battery life is roughly 3 hours. Streaming HD TV video from ABC is flawless on the MT6840; the same video still stops and starts on my AMD Sempron desktop with 1.5 GB RAM. And so far, Vista has been a pretty pleasant experience. Like anything else new, it takes some getting used to.
 Happy so far July 16, 2007

I am extremely happy with this laptop so far. Perhaps my expectations weren't that high, given that I've always used 2nd hand laptops for serving music on my stereo system. But this unit delivers. Also there are occasions when you can get it with a nice rebate. The specs speak for themselves. After a couple of hours of deleting unwanted programs and modifying the system so it behaves how I want it to, I am quite pleased.

 You are on your own with Gateway May 18, 2008

We bought a Gateway and Windows got hosed for some reason. We called 1-800-GATEWAY for support. Guess what? If you buy a Gateway anywhere but their website you must call a separate toll number. WTF!? Then we needed to restore it but the restore partition was bad. Had to get the recovery disk. They charged me $20 for a $1 CD-R. Then it wouldn't work, and they wanted to charge me to tell me how to use it. Again WTF? These people are horrible. Save yourself a lot of trouble and get a Mac. Get HP. Get an abacus. Anything but a Gateway.
great laptop October 22, 2008

What a bargain for the price..does everything I want it to. I run two businesses now when I'm on vacation, no lost business because of slow responses. Bright screen, easy keyboard, and the kids watch dvds in the car, during those long boring(?) stretches of Nevada Desert.. These are still selling elsewhere for $799 and up
