Tell me about it, my Dell XPS M1710 17" 1.83ghz core duo, geforce 7900 GTX 512, 2GB RAM, 80GB with 3 year warranty cost me about 3 grand back in 2006....lol.
Sorry to disappoint you Matthew, but the HD3650 does NOT trump the 8800M GTS. Its not even close. And as far as the CPU, it is easily upgradable to the T9300(and beyond) for $300. Read this for GPU comparisons. http://www.notebookcheck.net/Comparison-of-Grafic-Cards.130.0.html
The 8600M is a class 1 and only six from the top. The HD3650 is a Class 2. But nice try.

1300$ ish. Now that is a steal. Why can't other companies sell laptops with these specs for this kinda price
Because gateway is actually trying to get a customer to buy something they make.
I'm still surprised how this company is even around.
Alienware can sell theirs so high because enough people actually buy them at that price.
because they don't have to.
