    http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage...ebook&lp=5&type=product&cp=1&id=1218043606966



    good or bad? Im dumb when it comes to all that technical stuff, i just know memory and hard drive space... ;)


    I guess if i told my activity, it would help huh:

    internet (firefox!)
    listening/downloading music
    iTunes
    burning cd/dvd
    watching/downloading videos
    uploading pics and videos
    instant messaging

    about it, basic stuff

    thanks ladies and gents!

    With a quick look over, both laptops are the EXACT same. Like he said, what color do you prefer? For what you do, they are fine.

    Burn your own with the Gateway Recovery Manager that is preloaded on the laptop.
