Title: I chose this one (laptop)

So, many people recommended Gateway.

I found this one at a good price.

But, can it run the latest games?

Also, does Microsoft word 9 include word, excel, power point, etc...?

Microsoft Word 9, IIRC, only has Word.

Nice laptop.
*notices it runs on Vista*
Eww... I wouldn't buy it. Needs moar XP. Other than that, it looks like it can run current games, but I don't know much about video cards and CPU speed... -_-'

Looks like a good choice. But 8 lbs?!


It should be able to play most games at a good decent speed.

Good graphics card, but less than stellar processor for gaming. I want more than 3 USB ports, but that's just me.

8 pounds, what.
