    I just purchased a dv5t, speakers, wireless printer, and wireless mouse. Next on my list are a cooler pad and carrying case. What other things are ESSENTIAL buys? ie any **cords, routers, ANYTHING** that I'll need to hook this thing up to the internet and get it going? My concern is I get this thing and don't even have the proper components to get it going right away. Thanks in advance.

    you've made many new threads in this single night! You should not need a laptop cooler, especially without a dedicated graphics card. I Really like my Wenger laptop bags. They work well for me, are built very well and hold my Gateway nicely.

    Like in your other post, just get a router, I recommend Linksys.
