Question How are Gateway Notebooks?

Seeing how my Toshiba Notebook, will cost me $530-600 to fix, even under warranty, I thought might as well pay another 600 and buy a new system… So I decided to go with the Gateway M320X… I used online help was able to get a system built with a sales rep cheaper than what it would cost, if I built it using their website... Funny how that works...

Decided to order it and the price came to $1239.93 with shipping and taxes…. Even less than what I paid for my Damn Toshiba…

Here is the system Specs:

Maybe I should have asked what you guys think of Gateway, before I ordered it? Either way I have ample to change or cancel my order…

So what do you guys think? Good Buy, or I just got burned?
