Update:

I talked to a Gateway rep tonight, they received the laptop yesterday and determined that they need to replace the mobo. All work is covered by the warranty. Unfortunately she was unable to give me an idea of when I'd get it back.

Oh well, aside from the shipping it's all free. I'm not about to start complaining. 😛
 
Dude, that's just awesome! When you're using it you'll enjoy it even more than if you'd had bought it outrigtht for it's retail price. For some reason stuff you get on a hot deal feels better than something you paid retail on. Wonder how much your laptop would fetch on ebay?
 
WOW. Awesome deal. Props to you for calling your buddy and letting him know about the warranty status. Enjoy your new lappy.
 
I don't know, but I do know that I don't want to disrespect the generosity of my friend by selling it for profit. And really, with it's current hardware specs, it's fine as it is. I don't need it to even be half of what it is. I have a fast desktop for when I need real speed.

Yeah, my conscience would have ruined it for me if I hadn't. And thanks to all for sharing in my good luck. :beer:
