    I found an ACER TRAVELMATE 4021WLMi Notebook on Tigerdirect.com for 799.99 should I buy this? is this a good deal? has anyone already purchased this? please give me some feedback quickly so i dont make a mistake!!

    ALSO i found a Gateway7322GZ for 699.99 brand new, should i get this? which one of the two should I buy if i should buy either of them...

    my main intention on getting a laptop is to use it for school, and watch DVD's, i want a good processor that's reliable.... and im looking to spend around 799.99 or less so if you could tell me which of the two would be a good buy that'd be great, also let me know if i should get somethin else thanks for your time!!

    also it's important that it has a good wireless card (802.11 g/b) so i can use it on campus at school and pickup good signals.. thanks again

    If you want to watch movies something like a Comapq v2000z with a glossy screen might be a good option. You can configure one on HPShopping.com. I'd recommend the 12 cell battery and 5400RPM hard drive for better performance. It is around the same price as the Acer. I would also not, TigerDirect is known for being very bad at following through on rebates. Good Luck.
