Does anyone know what the X3100 graphics is like?
i.c. weiner @ Oct 11th 2007 5:28PM
terrible for 3-d gaming, terrible mostly throughout, you would be better off with an nvidia of ati, any of them are better than Intel graphics.

Decent performances, runs great on Vista and offers great battery life (in other words, it won't drain the shit out of your battery if you do media on it).
My girlfriend's got an HP laptop with it and it's probably the only time I was able to appreciate Vista, but I still don't think it's worth forking out over a hundred bucks for (Vista, that is).

Except when you're using Vista, when they're bottlenecked by shitastic drivers and drain your battery life (at least, the G8600GT does).
I find it bizarre that my Macbook Pro with less cells than the Inspiron 1520 I returned sports better battery life than the latter (3 hours of gaming vs. 2, similar hardware configuration for both)... While my girlfriend's laptop (I'm not shitting you, it's got a 12 cell) sports 10 hours minimum (at max performance) of battery life, and when you switch it to low performance it nearly doubles (approx. 75% increase).

i made the mistake of buying a gateway laptop that had turion 64 mobile technology instead of X2 about a year ago. It has xp which i dont mind. But I see 500gb on this which is incredible considering mine has 120 :P

I would like to have a 1.46GHz Pentium dual-core processor and a 160GB hard drive.

Why the fuck would you want a Pentium?

Gateway is really making a comeback. I don't think I have heard the name in the news in the last several years. Now... in the last week or two all I see is Gateway! Monitors, laptops... it is like 1992 all over again.
Damn I wish I didn't miss out on that $299 deal...
Cash @ Oct 11th 2007 7:45PM
As of yesterday, my local location still had about 20 of the 299.00 models (except they are 349.00 here in AK, because of shipping I guess) and at least 10 of the 449.00 model, even though the website listed both as out of stock online and in store at that location.
They had the cheaper on in two big pyramids in the laptop section, but the 449 one wasn't on display at all and my friend had to ask a salesrep if they had them in stock, which they did and had locked up in one of their merchandise cages. Of the two, I'd go with the 449 one because it's GL960 chipset allows upgrading the cpu to a merom core 2 duo and sports a 533/667/800 FSB, with support for up to 4gigs of ram. Of course you'd have to upgrade the cpu to a merom chip with the intel 64 extension and purchase a 64bit version of windows to make use of those 4 gigs, but I guess it's comforting to know you could if you wanted to.
