Possibly substitute a T9300 processor and dang... a very, very solid $1600 gamer.

Still, as is, it handles most anything well.



Makes me almost wish I didn't pull the trigger on my M1530...

Well...yeah, it does.

 

Dont forget... Best Buy has a price match guarentee. So if you bought this laptop recently. Best Buy will refund the difference. Guess Im going to Best Buy today to collect 100.00 and get a free game to boot!

 

i dont think u can get the free game u probably can only get it online . Oh well i check the site and stores near me dun hav it in stocks.So i;ll just keep it since gas money mite reduce ur discounnt already.

 

Good point. And I'd push the issue of the free game.

 

Got the discount. And the free game. With the savings I bought a BT keyboard & Laser mouse (also on sale for 80.00). I picked up "The Witcher" as my free game since I love the RPG genre.

So when it was all said and done, I recieved a 50.00 game, and a 100.00 Bluetooth keyboard & mouse + a 30.00 credit on my bank card Heck of a deal!

 

How is the battery life on this product? Thanks.

 

Like any gaming laptops.. Not great but as expected. About 2hr

 

i wonder why bestbuy next to my school doesn't carry any. it's probably the most profitable bestbuy in southern cal.

 

binron tommorow would be my 14th day and do i hav to bring my laptop in for that discount or im just getting 100 usd with the new game and still having this back??? im confuse... If my nearby store doesnt carry any of those can i get the discount thanks alot. Please give me procedure i hope tommorow the discount still occur.

 

It says 14 day, but if you can find a sucker that works at the counter they mostly only remember its 30 day and forget about the 14 for select items.

 

ok yes but do i hav to go take my laptop too??? or is just the receipt enough? I dont understand. Is it like im re-buying a laptop or just prove i hav bought a laptop and can go get my money and game ?? thats the important part XD Cuz if im like rebuying then my near best buy are out of stock but if im just taking free stuff i can go take it now.

 

just the receipt is fine. >.> if they say they need the laptop make a really big deal about it, so they change their mind.

 

well thanks but i called best buy last night and they said just brinng the receipt today thanks

 

Any1 knows that will Best Buy lower the price of this notebook back to normal? If they do, than when will they do it ?

 

Wait a second, this price is $400 more expensive than a week ago when i seriously considered buying this laptop! Yes, it is still a deal but not nearly as much. Before, it was $1249 for the same specs!

 

supply and demand

 

Basically tell them about Gateway's recommended price. If that doesn't work curse somebody.

 

The price most likely wont go back to the $1249 sale price but back to the original $1349 price. Gateway is on backorder for this laptop for at least the next two weeks. The price hike was put in place so they can catch up. its just that good of a laptop.
