    Alright, I'm heading to college pretty soon and the computer that I'm on is a complete piece of junk. (Compaq Windows 98 56MB RAM...its just hell lol) Therefore I need to get something new and fast. I've been looking around and came across the Gateway M360X. For anybody that has owned one, could you let me know how it is? If there were any problems. Also how long does the battery last? (8cell) and does it stick out from the laptop? Does it become warm or hot after extended use? Is it a loud computer...
