    hi fellas,

    Today i went to a computer store to check the 2 above mentioned laptops.

    1. Gateway EC1815u

    http://www.gateway.com/systems/product/529668406.php

    2. Acer Timeline 1810T

    http://us.acer.com/acer/productv.do...7&ctx1.att21k=1&CRC=662014091#wrAjaxHistory=1

    Both are identical in screen size, weight, features... The only difference is that the Gateway has 500gb Hdd whereas the Acer Timeline has 320gb.

    So i was deciding to buy the Gateway however on close inspection of both the latop side by side i found that the Acer Lcd was slightly brighter and more crisper than the Gateway Lcd.

    At this point in time i searched the internet but could not find and reviews for the gateway laptop though there are quite a few for the Acer Timeline which all praise the Acer's Lcd Screen Quality.

    Now i'm totally confused as to which one to buy...?!? I was more keen on the EC1815u since it has 500gb hdd compared to 1810T which only has a 320gb hdd but i found the 1810t screen quality to be better than EC1815u...!!

    1. Has anyone compared both these laptops screen..?? I was told that Acer owns Gateway and that the EC1815u is the exact copy of 1810T then how come the screen quality of both the Laptops is different...??

    2. Can someone put some light on this....!?!

    Probably because Acer used different manufacturers for the screens.

    If i were you i wouldn't be bothered about the HDD capacity. 320 is good enough. For me the priority would be the screen quality
