    They're ok deals....Check out vostros from dell...They're normally very well priced..

    Also Id wait a couple days for new ads and sales...For some reason the deals have dried up in the last couple of days...I dont see anything great out there at the moment..

    Get the VAIO VGN-SR16GN, great laptop! I'm using it right now.

    Unless you want gaming, which I do as well....my god this laptop gets burning hot when I play assassin's creed or any computer game :( Did you enquire as to which laptop is best suited for gaming?

    I want a decent gaming laptop because I sometimes play games, that's why I was looking at the gateway as it has 512mb video card, not sure about the 4100 chip video, is it good enough?
