I checked out as a guest and received a confirmation email, but it seems like the link to view order doesn't work, since it asks you to login. I created an account but order came up as invalid.
"The first new Gateway laptop to reach PC Labs is the $699.99 model GWTN156-1"
Do you have another $300 laptop with comparable specs to compare it to?

I think what people above are saying (and I would agree with) is that if this review thought a $150 price drop would make it a decent proposition, and the price has dropped by $400, this is a pretty decent deal.
