This is written on a Gateway laptop that I can't get repaired because the Gateway that sold it om me went bankrupt.

My daughter has on just like it--that she paid for a "warranty" for--she sent it in for repairs, now has to send money to get it repaired and returned to her (she drives a truck and bought the machine for her work).

I have a Gateway Down stairs with a dead sound system--I had to get an add-on sound card and figure out how to disable the broken motherboard to restore it.

If I buy another computer it sure won't be a Gateway.

I'll buy a Dell and throw the extra money in the fireplace.]]>Mar 6th 2009 11:53PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/gateway-slips-out-17-inch-p-7808u-fx-multimedia-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/gateway-slips-out-17-inch-p-7808u-fx-multimedia-laptop/Mar 7th 2009 4:25AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/gateway-slips-out-17-inch-p-7808u-fx-multimedia-laptop/http://www.engadget.com/2009/03/06/gateway-slips-out-17-inch-p-7808u-fx-multimedia-laptop/
Dude, welcome to 2009 and electronics, nobody is better than anybody else, the only thing that matters is try to make sure you don't fall into the defective ratio % of that company.

I'm very impressed by their good prices (they had one sometime ago that was a match for the alienware one in specs for a bargain!), and I'm considering importing one. Is it worthy?
