The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.

    good price.

    but "up to 3 hours of battery life"? creative thinking?

    ... can be upgraded. Does it come with a future shop warranty or one from Gateway? Because if it's a Gateway warranty, it's not even worth keeping; you might as well open her up and upgrade to your heart's content.

    I don't know about the warranty. I was in future shop the other day browsing and I saw this. They added a newer logo to the back of the lid. The screen res is a bummer. I didn't like looking at it to begin with, looks too granny in my opinion. But then again that may be due to the fact that I got used to mine :). The 260m is a nice upgrade though. I believe that its comparable to the 9800m GTX since it has a die shrink. upgrade the screen to an LG WUXGA and ur set :p

    Cheers
