Well I've been waiting IMPATIENTLY for the past week for this little buggah to come in and it should in about an hour. My dad has it at work right now and he's backing up the files on it since they didn't give us a disc copy of Win 7. He's made like 6 freaking DVDs already and it's still copying over. Talk about hard drive rape with trial software. Still it's an awesome laptop and I can't wait! :D

Also no I'm not a rich, spoiled kid. I paid for some of it and I'm also using this for academic purposes since my school allows them. I also sacrificed any Christmas/Birthday presents I was intended to receive. So much for my quad core processor that I wanted for my Desktop but it's worth it.

Discuss.

P.S. Is there any hardware/software changes I should make to the laptop?

Awesome, new PCs and laptops are always good.

True but it's a Gateway. When I saw that I was like, "Ahhh hell noooo. There has to be a catch." I did some extensive research (mostly my dad cause I'm lazy) and it turns out to be legit.

Speaking of which, could you get your dad to have a look at this thread I made?

I'm still debating whether I should get this card or not, there might be an opportunity to get a better one.

I've heard a lot of good things about it. Isn't it like 200 bucks though? I would just spend the extra 50 and get the 460GTX which is what I have except mine is Super Clocked. Don't ask why I got a factory super clock. I was too paranoid to do it myself.

Thing is, as of now only the 260 GTX is avaidible to me.

But like I said in that thread, I will be having a good, long search around town for a better one that is cheaper.

I don't think you'll be able to find anything better. The 400/200 series were meant to be budget high-end cards.

I guess I'll be getting 260 GTX from PC World, then.

Unless I find something better or the same for a lower price.
