Very hot deal.

Some of you may wonder how this compares to the $399 Gateway laptop?

Here's what you get for only $75 more:

• 15.4" LCD widescreen display vs. 14.0"
• AMD Sempron 3100+ CPU vs Celeron
• 80GB Hard Drive vs 40GB
• 512MB RAM vs 256MB
• ATI RADEON XPRESS 200M vs S3 Graphics UniChrome Pro
• 4 USB ports vs 2
• DVD Burner vs combo DVD-ROM/CD-RW
• Windows XP Media Center Edition vs XP Home

Well worth the extra $75 wouldn't you agree?

It's also got a firewire port which is always nice. I have a question: How do the processors compare to each other?

We did some window shopping at Best Buy today and saw this laptop. While we were there, at least 4 other people were checking it out. Our local BB sold out within 3 hours. People were pretty happy with it's specs and no rebates.
