I have exact computer - except black. I went thru 2 of these due to warranty issues. It's an AWFUL machine. Just trying to use mine for school work and I honestly wish I never bought it. First one had webcam issues and their "Tech support" is virtually non existent.
Not trying to rain on the OP post. I think it's a fantastic price for its specs but between the two machines, I had webcam issues touchpad issues, the touchpad would "jump" randomly on the screen at times, the "drivers" availability online is marginal. In fact- the second one, last week the display kept blacking out on me so I am waiting for it to screw up again because I will have to make a warranty claim.
I also got a SquareTrade plan on this computer and at present, I do not feel that it will last the 2 years under the extended service plan. While my experience may differ from you - if you had to ask me, I would say "RUN" from this machine.

There are 15.6" Gateway laptops with 8GB RAM for $299 as frontpage deals.
Show some love guys...
I feel like these are always $279… I think those other prices are inflated. They'd never sell at those prices…
It is a good deal for the price, but people like to crap on new faux Gateway stuff. I'd buy one if I needed one. Can't be as bad as the few loud people think.

Can it be fixed? As in, I have a friend who is very knowledgable with computers. Would he be able to make the laptop better?
I have a gateway purchased about a month ago not same one. Already problems with touchpad jumping and moving and clicking on its own. I got it for my kid to use it for school.
Been rasslin' over getting a Gateway 14" around this price, but right now, I just can't "sell myself" on getting lucky & not having problems. Heck, I don't need it anyway, just the SD effect. Repped though.
I wish the restored version was proportionally discounted. I bought some refurbished ones without any issues. I was surprised I could play games without overheating, unlike my dell.
