I just bought a notebook - please give all the feed back you can positive and negative!
I might as well know where I stand!
It's a Gateway 600 Series notebook!
Comes with:
CPU: Mobile Intel 1.4GHz Pentium 4 Processor (Rep said it uses socket 7 technology and is 100% upgradable - is that so?)
Display: 15.7" SXGA TFT Active Matrix (I'm very happy with a large screen like that)
Drive: 40GB Hard Drive (I really need 30GB or above)
Optical Drive: CDRW Drive
OS: Win XP Home (I'll upgrade it to Pro)
Video Card: Integrated Video (* that's what I'm worried about - I do not plan to play much on it but since it's integrated what downside will I see?)
Warranty: 1 year (* also people say that Gateway may fall apart and that my warranty map we worth nothing - is that so?)
Other: 1.44MB 3.5" Diskette Drive, 56k Integrated Modem, Integrated 10/100 Ethernet, Free Carrying Case, Port Replicator (what's that?), one free year of AOL (which I do not need)!
I paid: $1199 + $50 shipping + $100 tax = $1350
I really do not know it I made the right choice for this high end configured notebook (or is it?) but I can still cancel the order if I refuse it at the door the rep said and owe nothing!
Thank you!
Edit: $1199 no 1999
