    i am looking for this laptop but i can't find it anywere.. any one know where to buy it? or when is going to be avaible :( it has the same specs of the ID49C08u and the same price, the only difference is the processor it is a i5 460m at 2.5 ghz, i think this laptop is perfect for me because i only want it for daily tasks (web browsing, msn, etc) and some light gaming (only rts games), any opinions suggestions? ^^ thanks for your attention

    i can't find this any where either.

    Fry's carries the Gateway ID49C08u so you can try that. otherwise a good alternative is the acer 3820TG or 4820TG. the graphics card is a bit better but it's not as aesthetically pleasing. everything else is otherwise very similar.

    go to the acer forum: Acer Laptop Forums and Notebook Computer Discussions

    yes both the 3820TG and the 4820TG have the ATI 5650 graphics card, which performs better than the nvidia 330M. it is also directx 11 compatible so it's a lot more future proof than the 330M. that card should run medium smoothly. i've seen people push to high, but i dont' know if it can do that on large 4v4 maps.

    3820TG is not available in the states but you can order from Canada and change out the bilingual keyboard, the 4820TG is available in the states.
