Gateway 15.6 LED Laptop B820 2 GB 320GB HDD $229@ Fry's in store

more than enough processing power for my parents

think this made front page when it was at target for $249, but not everyone has a Fry's nearby. (of which the whiners will be posting shortly)

Only 2GB RAM this time around, but still a deal.

and OOS at Downners Grove IL. That was fast...

Picked one up in Wilsonville Oregon. The store had been open for 90 minutes, and they had sold a bunch already. I think they only had around 10 in stock.

Just came back from the Oxnard, CA store and they were all sold out within an hour. I wound up going online to pick one up at the Woodland Hills, CA location. Burbank also has them as of 12:22pm PST.

How do you like it? Hows the fit and finish?


Darn, shows unavailable in Woodland Hills and Burbank now. Saves me a trip.

Went to Manhattan beach this morning @ 11am - OSS, ordered in-store pick-up @ Burbank, and by the time I got there (12:30) all they had left was an open box item - That was a quick 1-day sale! FYI- Still avail in Anaheim, Fountain Valley, City of Industry. (2:13pst)
Thanks OP.

I've been happy with my i5 Gateway from the famous Best Buy mistake two years ago. Very reliable and quite fast with RAM and SSD upgrade. Makes a great media center. It gets high marks on amazon http://www.amazon.com/Gateway-NE5...B007VWX8YK

I am typing on this right now. Got it at anaheim target....did it online...but nobody is in the store so they had plenty left

quick unit so far. Nice Screen and very quiet.

strange...everyone that goes to anaheim frys must have been on labor day vacation

Ordered it online yesterday morning and picked it up from Fremont store around 1 PM yesterday. The box was opened and they said that is the only one left. It looked like an unopened return which Fry's opens it to check.

Played around with it a little bit in the night. Looks pretty good for the price. The keyboard feels good and overall build doesn't look cheap at all.

Will upgrade memory to 6 GB soon and this will be a great laptop for my folks. Maybe even upgrade to Windows 8 when it comes out.

its actually a good build. The frame is also used for higher end cpu....you getting the base of a 500 dollar laptop for 229...(of course less memory and cpu)...

Much better than some of the cheap HP and other laptops...looks good quality compared to other laptops

I thought it might be a junker...but this is a good one...high scores on amazon..and amazon has it for 349...
