Boy is that frustrating, where does Gateway get these media card readers (some flea market in China???) and why no support on drivers (note the driver update that Gateway has on their website doesn't work). SD Card ScoreCard: Sandisk...

Silverwolf I share your pain. In my case one of my SD cards works fine in the M680 (a 1.0 GB Sandisk SD card works fine, but my 2.0 GB Sandisk card does nothing when inserted). Both cards work fine in other card reader devices I...

I have an M680 which I love except for the fact that the media card reader can't handle my Sandisk 2.0 GB SD card. The M680 recognizes my Sandisk 1.0 GB SD card but not the 2.0 SD card. Gateway's online tech chat was worthless and as...

I understand most of these are theft deterrent (if they really want it, the cable aren't that thick), but I have heard some are better than others (worse I have heard some are very easy to pick the locks) Any recommendations on a good...

I can't tell you much about temperatures, idle or otherwise, but I can tell you that the Gateway M680 has the best screen by far! And I have yet to see anyone dispute that Also mine is very quiet especially when compared to my Dell...

I am trying to think of a nice way to respond to Laptop<3 However if you read his various posts over the last month or so, you'll see my dilemma I think Laptop<3 should build his own laptop from scratch and then he can call...

I would recommend the Gateway M680 because it has a fantastic screen, 17in so lots of screen space for editing, runs very quiet and Gateway will "deal" with you to reduce the overall price. I bought the minimum RAM and then...
