Gateway at Best Buy

[rmol66]

I just got the Gateway 15" laptop from Bestbuy and was surprised it wasn't on the deal forum, so is this a good deal or just ok? I haven't opened it yet so it can still be returned.

 

Thanks,

 

Ruth

I bought one thinking it was a pretty good deal. I just spent $400 at circuit city about 3 months ago on one with half the DDR and a smaller hard drive and at the time it was a steal as well, one of those 8 hour deals and limit one type thing. I think this price is awfully hard to beat now. Who's to say 3 months from now but today this is a great deal.

Ruth,

 

That is a great deal and I would keep it.

Most budget laptops come with slow Celeron processors, 512MB RAM, no DVD Burner and Vista Basic instead of Vista Home Premium.

 

$499 with no rebates is HOT!

Thanks RossMan and Ronbob44, I thought it was a pretty good deal. There were 2 left when my hubbie picked it up, plus we had $100 in gift cert. so it was only $400 out of our pockets, and I've heard good things about Gateway. It's mostly for our kids to use with my supervision, so they can be wherever I am.

 

Thanks again, it's always good to have conformation of a good deal!
