    Hi, I've placed an order for this laptop. 699$ canadian
    [URL="http://www.futureshop.ca/catalog/proddetail.asp?logon=&langid=EN&sku_id=0665000FS10092560&catid=']Gateway MX6961 C2D T7200 2GB ram 160GB HDD 15.4' GMA950 WinXP MCE[/URL]

    There's very little info on this model, is there another gateway model that I should be searching for on this forum? I'm looking for opinions on this lappy but there's only one thread on it and it's about its lack of bluetooth.

    Any opinions on its reliability, ubuntu compatibility... ?

    Thanks

    There are no external media buttons on this laptop, no mic, no cam. Otherwise a good deal.

    Not a problem, I don't need those features.
    I think the bluetooth thread was started by you, what did you end up doing with your MX6961? Do you still have it?
