Anyone still here? :)
Just want to plead with anyone who might see any great sales on Gateway
computers anywhere ... in the next few weeks... please post the location here. I've been checking the usual places and haven't seen any real reductions yet. Most web sites I've checked from the Gateway list of dealers are out of stock too often as well. Barbara |

Barbara Yes I am still here. No I haven't heard anything on any great sales on Gateway computers. And I am a bit depressed, as I heard a rumor that Gateway no longer sells business class computers. :-( -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - Thunderbird v9.0 Centrino Core Duo T2400 1.83GHz - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |

I hadn't heard about the business class, but it seems to me their dealers' inventory on all models is slim, and it made me wonder if they are going to stop selling them completely. They never advertise them, nor do the dealers that sell them. You have to ask to see ALL manufacturers to get to see them on web sites. They are treated like "step-children" or second rate goods, when they are superior to the majority of pcs on the market... IMO. I've been looking at the NV series Intel i5 or AMD quad 4 comparable .... and the one's I've found have been white. I don't want "white". If it was cheap enough I might buy one though. Happy Holidays... and thanks for the response! bj |

Staples carries a couple of Gateway models: http://www.staples.com/Gateway-SX2803-US20P-Desktop-PC/product_331637 # Intel® Pentium® Dual-Core Processor E6700 (3.2GHz) # 4GB installed memory Memory Expandable to 8GB # 1TB hard drive http://www.staples.com/Gateway-DX4860-US20P-Desktop-PC/product_332880 # Intel® Core™ i5-2300 processor (2.8GHz) # 6GB installed memory Memory Expandable to 16GB # 1TB hard drive Occasionally one or the other will be listed in their Weekly Ad http://weeklyad.staples.com/ although neither one is in there this week.

Great machines! Happy Holidays... and thanks for the response! Happy Holidays to you, too. Ken Whiton I'm so sorry... I've just noticed that I didn't specify LAPTOPS! My 3rd good old Gateway desktop is still running fine. I do appreciate the information though. I looked at Staples this a.m. and checked out the Acers they had, but they had no Gateway laptops. I haven't given up yet on finding one somewhere. I'm sold on the Gateway nameplate [even though I know ownership & everything has changed], because I never had to repair one of my Gateway desktops over the years, except when lightning fried one. I'm hoping they are still manufactured in the same place. Thanks so much for the links Ken, and Happy Holidays... again! bj |

And guess which ones I like to use the most?

My first and only laptop is a Gateway AMD l.58 GHZ, 2006 vintage and still working just fine. I'd like a faster processor, and since my daughter is in need of a laptop, I thought I'd look at the new ones and trade up. Thanks Ken for the Amazon link... I've been keeping my eye on what they have available. Sure appreciate you guys' responses. bj |

Sure appreciate you guys' responses. bj I was just looking at Consumer Reports Buying Guide 2012 and in the 15 to 16 inch laptop category, the Gateway NV59C70u was CR's best buy and reasonably priced at $580. It was also ranked as one of the lightest at 5.2 lbs. So what size were you looking for? And I really like the 2006-2007 laptop era. Things really changed a lot back then and I feel a lot of them from this era are going to be around for a long time yet. ;-) -- Bill Gateway M465e ('06 era) - OE-QuoteFix v1.19.2 Centrino Core Duo T2400 1.83GHz - 2GB - Windows XP SP3 |

I tend to watch their fliers and last bought a Toshiba lap top at their store. Laptop price was below any source on line. I bought my current Gateway there over 4 years ago before they went through bankrupcy but they still replaced my keyboard which was on extended warranty. |
