Did you even read the specs or what

I dont even know why the Acer is on the list if I recall had like 2GB of RAM and a 1Ghz processor

[Ningyou]

forget Acer laptops, seriously

personally I like toshiba laptops. I've heard .. decent feedback about Acer, and dell is just overall stuff IMO

Ive only ever owned Dells and Gateways and Ive never had major issues with them.

Try to keep reputations out of this Im not going to be calling customer service ever so just go off of specs, which I dont really know how to read :(

depends what you're using it for

gaming? personal use?

some manufacturers are just plain better than others. brand doesn't really matter *too* much but it certainly matters

at least you're not trying to buy an alienware lol

Personal use I guess, Im just using it to go on Facebook and play sims social, Id also like it to be able to run like Sims 3 or something like my dads laptop if possible ;-;

the second one has the best processor, the third one has the most RAM .. the fourth one is garbage don't even consider it

Ok Gateway vs Dell Inspiron
DUN DUN DUN

I didn't know Gateway even made computers anymore
is their logo still that cow box thing

[Sulfate]

now that you've narrowed it down I'd say go with the first one. better processor, bigger harddrive. missing 1 GB of ram isn't going to kill you if you're not using it for heavy gaming/something resource intensive.

however I'd definitely wait for another opinion. and of course personal bias plays into this, which one do you want more? don't just go with what someone tells you because they said so.

Idk but I remember my first computer was a gateway, came in a big ass cardboard box with a cow design and I think I got a free Cow stuffed animal as well as a Blues Clues CD Case
