The MX3228 covers flexes enough to break LCD screen [Posted on 2007-01-11]
I bought the MX3228 in May of 06 and found teh system to be advertised. In January 2007, I had the LCD screen crack. Iontacetd Gateway and explain it broke when I either opened or closed it, their position was It was user induced breakage or it broke because I used it.

The damage was caused by the screen case flexing, not from my abuse. When you close or open eh screen the cover behind eh LCD screen will flex and eventually you will lose your LCD screen as well.

I woudl give Gateway a score of less than 1 star. Perhaps -10 would be refelct their level of support.

Decent Buy [Posted on 2007-01-24]
I had bought this from a retailer back in June/Jly of 06. Cost me about 600 bucks total. Although it is a tiny bit outdated it's a good little buy even for the various things I use it for. For example: Artwork on photoshop, music, a few pc games, and plenty of internet.
Although it could use a better video card.

Great buy [Posted on 2008-09-28]
This laptop was purchased back in 2006 for 500$ and it's still running strong. It's definitely not a high-end laptop (so no gaming or video-editing) but it handles online/wireless connections very well, has very few compatibility issues, and performs all the basic tasks that I, a student, need it to do. I haven't had an issue with the screen/keyboard/touchpad or really any other aspect of the hardware. It's a solid little machine.
