MSI is a nice choice for budget computers as well. *NM* Brian Send a noteboard - 27/02/2010 08:51:20 PM
But I've had to fight with my Gateway laptop, and I was appalled by their lack of customer service. If you're happy with it, have fun.

You might also consider an Acer computer. It's the same company, but imo, better products (and actually a little cheaper!!)

That sounds like it would suit your needs. I think Gateway can die in a fire, though. LadyLorraine - 27/02/2010 06:17:46 PM 227 Views
