Well that sucks... Gateway was finally starting to get their act together. I picked up an ML6720 at best buy a few months back for 400 bucks and the thing is rock solid, and according to Cosumer Reports their customr satisfaction has been steadily going up as well. Then again, Acer has been releasing some quality gear lately too.
I liked Gateway, I have a Gateway laptop I bought off NewEgg because it was the one packing the most bang for the buck (i'm a poor man), and i'm quite satisfied with it...
On the other hand, my friend has a giantic 17" Acer, and it sucks... heck, at one year, the keyboard is already missing two keys..
@DarkLight, you shouldn't rate a company based off of a single experience. I owned a Gateway laptop but it fried after 1.5 years (something involving the power supply). My roommate's acer is 3 years old and its keyboard isn't missing any keys

We'll just have to wait and see.
I, on the other hand, was hoping that acer would finally drop the axe on these guys.
