Recommendation for a laptop?!

Do you guys realize I was talking to Warrior, who said he only had a Gateway for a couple weeks>.

Even so, I've seen you make a few very general statements without adding the "but that's just my experience" disclaimer.

Personal experience nothing.  Everyone I know who has a Gateway laptop has had big problems with it.  Their desktops are fine, but they are utter fail in the laptop market.

Apparently not.  I use mine consistently about 8-10 hours per day at work.  And school.  And it's awesome.

I know quite a few people with gateway laptops and, other than you, I've never heard anyone have any sort of mentionable problem.

A couple of instances doesn't make the entire branch of the company suck.

I have a Dell laptop and a Gateway.  I've had both of them for more than/almost a year (I bought the gateway last december) and I haven't had any problems with either of them, save for the battery on the Dell dying out (which apparently isn't covered by the warranty? ... ).

My Dell battery died over the summer, too, and I was disappointed about the warranty not covering it as well. :(
