That's because the picture in the support area has the 15.4" inch LCD in it.

I saw the 17" in person, it does not have the thick ugly bezel

Getting the 15.4" screen on this thing is a waste. It looks ugly as hell with that huge bezel.

The 17" looks badass though. Ive seen it in person. Very crisp.

And less than 20 reviews in last 6 months also. I pretty sure they had more than 20 sales in last 6 months.

Gateway is not a reseller, they are a retailer.

BizRate would probably be a better bet.

And also, if you didn't notice, only a portion of the reviews are about computers. Buying a digital camera from them is stupid, so their opinion is invallid.

I think that, especially with larger companies, that site can be a little misleading. You are a lot more likely to take the time to post on resellerratings.com if you were unhappy with a particular company. You probably aren't going to take the time to post if you have a positive experience.

I just purchased one of these after taking a look at it in the not-so-local Gateway store. Now, I just have to wait two weeks to get it... man, its going to kill me.

Having bought it, I am now looking for a bag to carry it in... Not a very comon laptop size=few bag options. I could get the bag that gateway sells with it ... and thats about it. I have e-mailed many big laptop-bag manufacturers and none of them are big enough! I am looking for a backpack or even just a simple laptop sleeve. I dont want a leather briefcase to lug around.

The laptop is just enough larger than the apple 17" book to not fit in any of the cases designed for it.

Anybody have a suggestion?

If it's about the same size as a Toshiba P25 then this Backpack/Trolley at CC would fit. I had this for the CostCo P25, returned both and got a 5680 though.

I just bought an M675XL and ran into the laptop case problem. This is the one I bought:

I didn't do an extensive search on the quality, Targus may suck for all I know. But the case feels pretty solid, extra padded but sleek, and it fits the Gateway.
