Silver Member Username: Camaro823British Colu... Canada Post Number: 929 Registered: Jun-05 | Thanks, for the opinions, but i'm only buying from Future Shop, in your opinion what do you think of the specs on that laptop ? |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Use a simple... Post Number: 8910 Registered: Dec-04 | they look good, what are you going to be using it for? |
|
Silver Member Username: Camaro823British Colu... Canada Post Number: 931 Registered: Jun-05 | Mostly school work, and work, need a fast internet connection. I will be using programs like quickbooks, and excel a lot. |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Use a simple... Post Number: 8918 Registered: Dec-04 | the internet connection depends on your server not the CPU. That CPU is plenty for what you need it for. |
|
Silver Member Username: Camaro823British Colu... Canada Post Number: 932 Registered: Jun-05 | Alright, thanks bud |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Use a simple... Post Number: 8970 Registered: Dec-04 | no problem |
|
Silver Member Username: Motomattic3Post Number: 484 Registered: Oct-06 | i just don't like gateway i don't think they make good quality computers and i think if ur gunna buy a laptop for what your lookin for you really don't need everything there you can get a good laptop for around $399-$499 that will do what you want it to just fine. but buying a gateway is like buyin a turd, thats my view anyway have had a lot of friends and family have bad luck with them. but hell people diss sony and I've had mine for 3 years now with no problems so maybe its luck of the draw. |

Silver Member Username: Motomattic3Post Number: 485 Registered: Oct-06 | speakin of which you know thats a refurbished laptop right? |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Use a simple... Post Number: 9041 Registered: Dec-04 | I honestly didnt even realize it was a gateway, I just looked at specs. I have heard a few horror stories about them aswell but then again I have about Dell also and I have 3 of them and they are all great. |

Gold Member Username: Wolfman1966WEST MONROE , LOUISIANA USA Post Number: 1687 Registered: Jan-06 | Not only is it a Gateway, its also a refurb. |
|
Silver Member Username: Camaro823British Colu... Canada Post Number: 934 Registered: Jun-05 | yes its a refurb, but i've got 3 years warranty with it, and thats problably all i'll keep it for. |
|
Gold Member Username: James1115Use a simple... Post Number: 9047 Registered: Dec-04 | what does the warranty cover? parts and labor or just parts? |
|
Silver Member Username: Camaro823British Colu... Canada Post Number: 935 Registered: Jun-05 | Parts and labour, it takes over from the factory warranty, so even if something goes wrong during the factory warranty, Future Shop will still fix it. |
