Now a days I am not getting computer when I need it and was thinking to buy laptop for last 6 months. In the mean time I bought Acer laptop for India for $300 and my 5 year old Dell is not charging any more. Finally ended up again two. Chandini bought Sony laptop during Thanksgiving, but I have given to friend as he came from India and again left with tow. Today I got Gateway laptop for $499 and Chadnini Planning to go India and again will left with two. Now I have to look another laptop for Chandini, probably for me because she will take this one If I don’t buy sooner.

This is Laptop was unexpected buy, because of deal and thanks Satish. On Sunday I when I am ordering tried to buy through Bing and I didn’t see and ordered one. After 1 hour I saw Best buy in Bing and ordered another one didn’t cancel because first one waiting for confirmation of orders. Finally Tuesday I got confirmation for store pickup for both the orders. Today evening I went to pickup and there was only one for store pickup and I was there for one hour and they couldn’t find. Finally they asked me to find another laptop with that price. Then I demanded for same configuration Laptop and found one which is $630, they asked me to share 50% of extra money, I said NO. They agreed to take care of 100%, but found that it doesn’t have blue-ray. Then I said NO. They said they can’t offer any more and asked me to contact Best Buy.com as I bought it there. As I offered Gabe that Laptop, I tried to bargain to get decent one, but that store doesn’t have comparable Laptops in around that price.

Now I am writing this post on this Gateway Laptop. I didn’t like the material of Laptop and also mouse pad. Key board buttons are soft and good. I don’t see that speed with that good configuration. One more interesting thing is that it has labeled as i3 but it has i5 processor. I liked Sony Laptop better than this Gateway even though Sony configuration is not comparable and lower end. I feel this is worth for that money but not great deal. Finally Sorry Gabe.
