That's a good deal, but I keep thinking better deals are just around the corner. I bought a couple of Gateway laptops on Halloween which would probably be considered early Black Friday deals that were a lot hotter than this one. The build quality seems okay to me (the shells seem to be reasonably scratch-resistant and flex-resistant, the keyboards and touchpads seem okay, and the 1080p back-lit screens are clear and bright), but they have annoying drawbacks such as no PCIe SSD support, just SATA M.2 support, and soldered RAM and WiFi cards that can't be upgraded. I'd also be willing spend extra money for a back-lit keyboard, especially on a laptop computer.
Didn't mean to thread-crap, I'm just hoping we get better deals. (Maybe this week?) Thanks for posting, Larry. You're a great contributor to this forum!
