    What Up, this is my first post, and I was just wanted to know your opinions and thoughts on Gateway laptops.... ive done some research on the web and everything points to Gateway being a bad brand and that their "moderboards" die quick.

    Office Depot will have a sale tomorrow on their 14' Gateway T-6321 I believe. Specs Below:
    Gateway® Notebook Computer with Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Mobile Processor T2370
    4.1" ULTRABRIGHT™ WIDESCREEN
    3 GB of memory for the ultimate speed and performance.
    • 3GB DDR2 memory
    • 160GB hard drive
    • Reads and writes dual layer DVDs & CDs with LabelFlash™
    • Integrated webcam and microphone
    • Windows Vista® Home Premium with Service Pack 1
    • Integrated 802.11g wireless LAN

    The Price is $550 US dollars. Now that is very cheap I think (at least for my budget). The only thing holding me back is that they dont last very long. I want a laptop that will last me a looong time. SO do you guys know if this is a good deal? Good Laptop?.. or should i just buy a Vaio and charge it to a credit card cuz I know they are expensive : /
