ngarza,
what don't you like about the hp? I just bought a compaq for $720.
what i don't like:
-glossy reflective screen.
-poor battery life.
-poor graphics.

what I like:
-price
-dvd burner works well so far.

I'm gonna keep it for about 6 months and then sell for $500. Then Im gonna get an awesome system.

i guess i don't like it because of the keyboard, i had a dell inspiron 5100 and i liked the fact that the palm of my hands was on the computer and not hanging out.i was able to stretch myfingers on the keyboard instead of having them close together when i type

I would go for a Inspiron 6000. I got the one in my sig for $880 with much better components than that Gateway, especially if you're going to be unplugged at all. If you're not in a hurry wait til Dell comes out with some new coupons and get yourself a I6000. I really like mine so far, it's a great balance between performance and price.
