I love my new notebook! [Posted on 2006-06-04] A month ago my pc bit the big one. I play a lot of games online, so I need some power to really get into it. After deciding that a laptop would be much better for my work, I went that route thinking that I had said goodbye to good gaming forever. I quickly found out the opposite, the laptop rules for the games that I play! It comes with a good graphics card, and lot of ram, and a decent processor. I am very pleased with how this computer is working. I'm only on day two, so it might change, but I'd say for the price, I'm in love with my new gateway!
Like it so far, afte a month [Posted on 2006-07-04] Looked all over for sub-$900 unit with 1Gig and 100Meg+, and 64-bit processor. Never considered a Gateway, til I saw the beautiful screen, noticeably better than the HPs, etc. I'd say as good as a Sony screen. I actually like the keyboard, just a preference thing, though others appear not to like it very much. One note is to see the units with dual-core processors...they've dropped a few hundred in the past month since I bought this. Again, though, this unit is real nice for the price.
Easy to use [Posted on 2006-07-13] I was going to buy a DVD burner but instead got the laptop with the burner in it. I had no trouble hooking the MX 6440 up to my older desk top and tranfering over 4000 photos and burning them to a DVD. I will probably never buy another desk top unit.
Love It [Posted on 2006-09-27] I've had this laptop a little over 3 months now. I cant complain about it at all. I've been enjoying it!! Due to me using a desktop computer for years, it took a while for me to get used to the keyboard. I never could get used to using a touch pad so I bought a mouse, haha! Overall, Im enjoying this computer.
They don't back up the warranty! [Posted on 2008-03-19] Got this laptop back in May of 2007. It worked fine for a while, but I noticed a little black speck on the upper left side of the screen. I didn't think much of it, until it started getting larger and larger as time went by. It became the size of a dime and started to interfering with my view. So I called Gateway, and explained what it was doing, so they told me to send it back because it was still under warranty. I sent it back and they called a few days later and left a message on my voicemail saying that it was a small crack in the LCD screen, and that they felt that it was done by me! I told them that I don't move the laptop anywhere, and that it just sits on a small laptop table upstairs. I only used it for back up if my desk top computer goes down, or if I'm upstairs and I have to turn it on to check something real quick. They told me that the warranty didn't cover that, and I would have to pay them $500.00 if I wanted it fixed. I told them to forget it, that I could send it to a place near me that could fix it for less then half that amount. So they sent it back to me, and when I turned it on, there was nothing but a black screen! I called them to find out what they did to it, and they said that it could have possibly happened during shipping, but they were still not taking responsibility for it, and their offer still stood. I told them that when I sent it back it was at least in working order, but now it doesn't work at all!! They told me that there was nothing they would do, and basically I was stuck with it unless I was going to pay them $500.00 to fix it. THIS IS THE LAST GATEWAY I WILL EVER BUY! I WOULDN'T ADVISE ANYONE TO BUY ONE EITHER. If you do a search on gateway warranties, you will find that there are a lot of complaints about them not backing their warranty. BEWARE!!!
