Default Gateway T-6836 14.1" Notebook

Notebooks are more popular than ever, and the vast selection is incredible. There's a notebook for everyone, and in the case of Gateway's T-6836, if you are looking for something in between a netbook and a $1,000 model - you are covered. It carries certain downsides, but still packs enough performance and features to make the $800 retail price feel well-worth it.

You can read the full review here and discuss it here.

Nice review. I bought this laptop for my son from BestBuy in August when it was on sale, and upgraded it to Vista Ultimate. Nice machine. Agree with you about the recovery discs.

Last week the hard drive failed. Gateway support quickly agreed to ship a new one to me. The drive that failed is a WD. Don't blame Gateway for that, I suppose.

That's the big problem with notebooks, and one I experience with almost any notebook. Gaming on a desktop spoils things for you when you go on the notebook and can't crank the settings, haha.

Glad you enjoy the notebook though!
