Well I got it the next day and I didn't even have to pay the $40 for next day delivery. On top of that, there was a lot of snow on the ground and lots of business' were closed that day, which I was surprised I got it. As for the laptop, I like it a lot. I have been using a 15 inch HP Pavilion and it's going to take a while to get used to the setup of this keyboard and Win7, but I'll get there. It is way fast and I like the number pad on it. The only bad thing about this so far I have found is the power cord comes out of it really easy, like if I move it from one place to another, I have to make sure it's still plugged in, and the second so far is that it detects my wireless network really slow when I open it up to use it. It takes about a minute or two, and I think if it sees my wireless network from previous use, it shouldn't have to detect it again. That's all for now. <br /> <br />Gateway NV7923u 17.3-Inch Laptop (NightSky Black) Rating: 4 / 5 I bought this Laptop from Amazon last Monday and paid the $20 for 2 day shipping.

You'll be happy you did. <br /> If your going to be traveling alot is lab top is not for you. The battery life doesn't seem to be much over 2hrs. But last night i did find a power management function within windows 7. I hope this helps the battery life. <br /> the 17.3 screen is awesome!!! The quick touch buttons at the top are nice. I would say that in the item description it leads you to believe that it is blue ray compatible. Its NOT!. Also, the HDMI doesn't seem to have sound, I can't believe that so it must be a setting in the computer or in my tv.

Feel free to remove other bulkware. The recovery function from gateway is great to remove errors and return to factory settings. <br />Overall, the negatives about this computer pale in comparison to its positives. The main configuration aloows this machine to be relevant for at least 2-3 yrs without a major upgrade. The only processor stronger is the i7 which is not needed for routine computing. the turbo boost feature on the i5 compensates for that.I bought this because of its value for money after painstaking research. i seriously considered the HP dv7 series and the Toshiba L500 as well as sony vaio; put put together the screen size,components and extras and this comes out on top. Rating: 5 / 5 I’ve had this for 2 weeks now…and I think it is worth more than $679
