just a basic Gateway model nothing too fancy. I just need a basic model for billing and word and some basic internet. Walked into Bestbuy and pointed at a lowest priced Gateway and said "I'll take that". I refused all service offers.

As tempting as it is I try and never find out what deals I missed after a major purchase, that way I don't regret anything.





On that note, what kind did you get and how much$$?
