   Fantastic laptop for the cash. My only complaint is the flush keyboard. Still trying to get used to it. Have been using my desktop keyboard with backlit keys. Wish Gateway could have done that. Like the bright screen and the massive 17.3 size. Fantastic for these eyes of mine. I’m typing on the Gateway keyboard but I have to have excellent lighting so my fingers don’t get in the incorrect position. Damn!!! Lots of fantastic facial appearance. Bought an HDM connection for my TV and watched “Sundown Zone” from Media Center. Very sharp image on my Sony Bravia 32″ screen. Oh, another complaint…the volume is not very high on this laptop. Any suggestions on how to increase volume would be greatly appreciated. I’ve tried adjusting the settings but it’s still not as loud as I’d like.

   I’m on my 4th day of my 14 day limit from BB. Don’t want to pay the restocking fee. Nearly bought the Toshiba that was also $599 with same specs but it didn’t have the gesture feature which I like. I’m still loving this small unit. By reducing resolution and brightness I can get over 4 hrs of array life.

   Update: Have now had this wonderful laptop for 14 days. Really went back to BB to see about upgrading to another laptop with an simpler to use keyboard. Looked at the HP and Toshiba but they were $150 – $200 more for same specs. Wondered over to the Mac area and questioned about the Mac Keyboard. The rep said it’s compatible so spent $50 and now have a terrific, lightweight Mac Keyboard that connects via USB. I place it right over the Gateway keyboard and it doesn’t uptruct or affect the Gateway keyboard at all. Like this Mac keyboard, very lightweight and simple to type on. Hope this laptop lasts a awhile. So far am very pleased.
   
   Try the Mac keyboard if you really can’t get used to the flush keyboard on the Gateway.

   This is also the best computer that I have ever had.I can not add much to the other reviews but to say I use Scype and the picture and sound are both very excellent from Alabama to England.I was going to buy a different strain computer but when I read the reviews on Amazon and Best Buy,I changed my mind.I like this computer for the same reasons that everybody else does and you can not beat the price.I just hope that it last.I took out the thre year warranty for $90 just in case.

   Bought this laptop to replace ancient PC. Facility fantastic; had a computer guy transfer all ancient data off PC onto this, so no problems so far.
