This seems like a pretty good. I saw a similar Gateway at Bestbuy for $1250 in November. This one has better specs and is a lot cheaper.

1366 x 768 is pitiful for a 17" laptop.
If this were a WUXGA (1920 x 1200) it would be a good deal.

I wish I would have waited for this. Bought an hp that has a smaller hd and video card for $850.

Just checked Gateway's site, it is a 1440 x 900 WXGA widescreen display which still sucks. Definitely not WUXGA like my Vostro 1700 though all other specs surpass my Vostro. The screen still kills the deal.

#5 - The first batches were indeed WUXGA, but the new shipments are regrettably WXGA (Max 1440x900).
4gb of DDR3, a 1gb 9800, and a 320 7200 HDD still make this a decent buy for 1050.

nice video card for this laptop. My 17" Vostro only has the 8600gs but has a better Screen and 5 USB ports instead of just 3, and I still had to get another 7 port usb hub though.
