 Very good for the cost May 03, 2006
By Dave the Mave
"Certified!"
I like this notebook very much! For it's price, it can hardly be beat. Mine came with 1 GB of RAM and a 100 GB hard drive.
I reconfigured it with a higher level operating system and my own software choices, and the higher end stuff I'm running works great.
The screen is simply wonderful--full, bright, vibrant colors and wider than my own desktop.
The keybord takes a little getting used to, at first I kept hitting the caps lock key for the letter "a". The keyboard isn't laid out wrong, rather it's different from what I'm used to.

Terrific Price May 18, 2006
By Bill Ford
I was in the market for a low priced laptop. I searched extensively on the web for a fast machine with 1G of ram, DVD burner, and media card reader. My Sunday newspaper BestBuy ad rendered the results I was looking for. $799 for the Gateway MX6440. A great deal I think, and I love the machine, except for the keyboard and touch pad. This is my first experience with a laptop, and I am having trouble getting used to the slightly different keyboard. My getting used to the touch pad is definitely work in progress

I love my new notebook! Jun 04, 2006
By Brickman
"Brickman"
A month ago my pc bit the big one. I play a lot of games online, so I need some power to really get into it. After deciding that a laptop would be much better for my work, I went that route thinking that I had said goodbye to good gaming forever. I quickly found out the opposite, the laptop rules for the games that I play! It comes with a good graphics card, and lot of ram, and a decent processor. I am very pleased with how this computer is working. I'm only on day two, so it might change, but I'd say for the price, I'm in love with my new gateway!

keys are too light to the touch. May 12, 2006
By Tony Q. Nguyen
"tonyn"
Everything is perfect for this Gateway laptop for the price. My only problem is the keys are light to the touch. Or that the keyboard was cheaply manufactured. It seems like the keyboard has been used for a year or so. I prefer hard and sturdy key buttons when purchasing a new laptop or any product for that matter.

 They don't back up the warranty! Mar 19, 2008
By D. Hamilton
Got this laptop back in May of 2007. It worked fine for a while, but I noticed a little black speck on the upper left side of the screen. I didn't think much of it, until it started getting larger and larger as time went by. It became the size of a dime and started to interfering with my view. So I called Gateway, and explained what it was doing, so they told me to send it back because it was still under warranty. I sent it back and they called a few days later and left a message on my voicemail saying that it was a small crack in the LCD screen, and that they felt that it was done by me! I told them that I don't move the laptop anywhere, and that it just sits on a small laptop table upstairs. I only used it for back up if my desk top computer goes down, or if I'm upstairs and I have to turn it on to check something real quick. They told me that the warranty didn't cover that, and I would have to pay them $500.00 if I wanted it fixed. I told them to forget it, that I could send it to a place near me that could fix it for less then half that amount. So they sent it back to me, and when I turned it on, there was nothing but a black screen! I called them to find out what they did to it, and they said that it could have possibly happened during shipping, but they were still not taking responsibility for it, and their offer still stood. I told them that when I sent it back it was at least in working order, but now it doesn't work at all!! They told me that there was nothing they would do, and basically I was stuck with it unless I was going to pay them $500.00 to fix it. THIS IS THE LAST GATEWAY I WILL EVER BUY! I WOULDN'T ADVISE ANYONE TO BUY ONE EITHER. If you do a search on gateway warranties, you will find that there are a lot of complaints about them not backing their warranty. BEWARE!!!
