Q: http://www.gateway.com/product_spec.php?product_recid=529668038 I'm mostly gonna use it for surfing, photos, movies, light gaming (nothing advanced), and to connect to my HDTV.
A: yeah it's a really good laptop. I have the exact same laptop that I got from best buy when it was on sale. It plays movies, photos with ease. It also plays portal at 1280 x 800 full screen with no problem. The only problem that I have with it is that the fn and the ctrl keys are switched. That annoyed me a little at first because I keep accidentally press the wrong button, but I get used to it. The only other problem is when it's plugged in, it runs kinda hot. Overall it's a really good system. But you have to remember that after time, with any pcs, windows will bog down. So tune up your computer once in a while, and tweak it out to get the maximum performance.
