Gateway.com is selling laptops for $ 499. Is this any good?

Good price. It would be great if it was running windows XP instead of Vista, you wouldn't even need to get extra RAM, then. I have a machine a work running Vista without Aero, with 512MB of RAM, and its pretty slow - especially playing card games. The saem computer was fine running windows XP.

Getting the "glossy" screen isn't an option.![]()

Matte screen = crap. I don't know why their matte screens are so bad. I've had and worked on several other Gateway laptops with glossy screens and they are all fabulous. The matte screen has really bad viewing angles and just doesn't look that great. I have it on a stand next to my 20" Dell monitor and the Dell blows it away.
