Gateway is probably the top of my list of being my next laptop machina. It's affordable, very elegant and quite neat. Not so big and not too small. Just the right dimension and the specs are pretty decent as well. I could have pick a better one for my next laptop but due to budget constraints and technology seems to flow really fast, introducing a whole new tech within 3 to 6 months so yeah I have to decide on Gateway. Acer just acquire Gateway sometime last year or was it in 2007. So the technology is similar to Acer but it's American brand that makes it so reliable since it was the premium laptop manufacturer back in the early 2000's.

I was gonna try Macbook but I guess I'm just not cut out to use Apple software at the moment. And HP seems very interesting, it's a top quality laptop but the specs that I wanted with my current budget weren't in the range of what HP has to offer, too damn expensive!
Sony Vaio has its charm, but that too is the same as above.
Dell? Not recommended. Although it's quite popular but I've tried one, hardware problems always occur so I'm not gonna risk buying a defective laptop. Although my preference are different from other people.
Acer is quite reliable, customer services are available here and it's affordable but most of the specs that I wanted weren't available or the same as HP, out of my budget range.
Toshiba, damn I really want those Qosmio series soooo very much. You can never fail with Toshiba's laptop.
Asus is way out of my budget as well. I wish the money was easy to find and splash on for a quality and high spec laptop.
So yeah I just go with Gateway. As simple as that. Hopefully by the end of this month. I can't wait to play Sims 3 and the whole lot of exciting games on the PC. I've been missing out so much on PC games.
