THIS PRODUCT IS REFURBISHED
The terms refurbished and recertified are used interchangeable to describe products that were returned to their manufacturer, inspected, brought back to original manufacturer’s specification then tested and repackaged for sale. Some manufacturers refurbish products themselves and others use qualified third party partners. Refurbished products represent a great value and we offer them with confidence knowing that every refurbished product was tested at least twice, once when it was first manufactured and again during the refurbishing process. Refurbished products are warranted by either the original manufacturer or the manufacturer’s third party refurbisher. Warranty terms applicable to refurbished products may vary; see below for specific warranty information and consider purchasing an extended service plan if you desire even more coverage.

We bought this a few weeks ago for $399. Awesome deal it looked brand new. 1st boot was that of a brand new computer. Burned the recovery discs but one disc failed to verify worked on second try so no biggie. The trick to the upgrade is to use the website from gateway which is a 3rd party site! Our upgrade is on its way. we added the extended warranty for $149. Everything works on ours. Very satisfied with this buy.
be careful on this one

Mine would not fire up, I guess it needed a little more refurbishing. I returned it and got an open box Lenovo for $450 which I really like.
Great Product for the $$$$

This computer is fantastic! I was a little worried about the weight when I was first comparing laptops due to personal and business use. This does not feel nearly as heavy as the listed weight. I too burnt the recovery disks and got an error burning the second disk. I put in a new DVDR and it worked perfectly. I ordered the Win 7 disc about a week ago but haven't received them. The 16:9 wide screen is vibrant (LED) and the images come out crisp (very impressed!). 4 gig of RAM makes this computer fly. I use it for home and work. At work I have Firefox up with multiple tabs as well as Internet Explorer with multiple tabs. I also have Outlook, Microsoft Office, and Adobe running. No hiccups anywhere. Battery life is excellent however I haven't timed from full power to shutdown. I use a 2nd monitor at work for dual screens and this sets up very easily with a simple
Can't backup the data!

When running Recovery Management Create factory default disc, the DVDR kicks out saying to incert a blank CDDVD into the optical drive. I can use burner program and burn files to the DVD fine. With no backup discs, this option has to work. I tried with a CD and the backup died on the second disc with a verify error. I might have to send this back.
BUY IT...if it becomes available again

I bought this for my wife and she loves it. The screen size is nice and big. She likes the numeric keypad and the touchpad. We just signed up for the free Windows 7 through Gateway's website. How can you go wrong at this price? It's a great value. The trouble will come when the kids come home from college and realize that mom has more computing power than they have.

How Compatible Is HDMI?
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs, displays and consumer
electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
standard. Both HDMI and DVI were pioneered by Silicon Image and are based on
TMDS®, Silicon Image's powerful, high-speed, serial link technology. HDMI
supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel
digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and
supports 8-channel digital audio, and with 5 Gbps of bandwidth, HDMI can
accommodate future enhancements and requirements. Because HDMI was designed
specifically for consumer electronics applications, it offers an array of
additional consumer enhancements. As digital content can manifest itself in
a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, HDMI-enabled systems will
automatically configure to display content in the most effective format. In
addition, if implemented in a specific device, HDMI enables a single remote
point and click, allowing manufacturers to deliver home theater systems that
automatically configure from a single command from a remote control --
turning on or off the components necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD, or
watch cable or satellite TV.
What is the difference between HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.3a, or 1.3b?
For consumers, there is no difference between HDMI version 1.3 and 1.3a or
1.3b. These minor revisions to the specification typically relate to
manufacturing or testing issues and do not impact features or functionality
in a specific product. In addition, HDMI Licensing, LLC is actively working
with manufacturers to reduce confusion for consumers by de-emphasizing
version numbers and focusing instead on product features and functionality.
How can I identify which HDMI products
support a specific feature, such as DVD Audio or Deep Color?
The key for consumers to remember is that HDMI has consistently enabled a
variety of the most innovative new technologies (whether they are DVD Audio,
SACD, 1080p/60, etc.). However, in many cases, it is up to each manufacturer
to choose which features to implement in any given product. The manufacturer
can choose the mix of features that makes sense for its customers and
products. So, customers must choose devices that have the features that they
want (instead of focusing on which version of HDMI is implemented by the
device.). Consumers interested in confirming whether a particular consumer
electronics product supports DVD-Audio or any other feature over HDMI are
urged to review users’ manuals and product reviews, or check with
manufacturers directly.
What Is Firmware Upgradeable?
Many of today's electronics product are designed for today's standards.
Yet like personal computers, they have advanced capabilities that will let
them be upgraded for use with new technologies and standards. The
ability to upgrade the firmware of an electronics product allows you to
extend the useful lifespan of the device you purchase, and be able to expect
support for many (if not all) of the emerging new standards.
What is the difference between Active HDMI and Passive HDMI?
There is no active or passive HDMI in the HDMI specification. These terms
apply to cables. Active cables have built-in electronics to enable long
cable runs, and typically these cables require a power supply. These cables
use active electronics to help push the signal farther than typical passive
cables.
HDMI™ is the trademark of HDMI Licensing, LLC.
What Is USB 2.0?
USB 1.1 was great when it was introduced almost a decade ago. But
the newer USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times
quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and
storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your
advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with
USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB
configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port, though some newer
devices are specifically designed for USB 2.0. It is always a good
idea to verify the version of USB supported by each device you want to use.
