Question:
Gateway 4520GZ.....any good?
Hello. After all the help that I got...I am now looking at Pentium M computers. Now that I think about it, I will be kinda moving around a lot so I do need a laptop that isn't THAT heavy and also runs cool. Anyways, I looked at the Gateway 4520GZ on the Best Buy website and I was just wondering if anyone has any review on these computers? How about the Gateway 4525GZ? Is that any good? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!!!
Answer:
I just went to gateway website, and I couldn't find 4520gz, but I think it's a 450 series. if you have the spec, it would help. Also, what will you be using it for?
I think this is what you are refering to http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1087342445452&skuId=6759313&productCategoryId=cat01174&type=product

Answer:
I wouldn't buy a Gateway and haven't seen one recommended here in a year. Does that tell you anything?

Answer:
I have no idea about that, but I have known in the past around 2+ ago, that their desktop product and support were generally better than Dell/HP/Compaq, but they were pricier as well.

Answer:
I would say a 1.5 pentium m is about equivilent to a 2.40 pentium 4. Thats if its a banias (1mb L2 cache), and if its a dothan (2mb L2 cache) then its about a 2.64.

Answer:
Hmm...I think the reason that they're aren't any like feedbacks on this thing is because like gateways closed all their stores and now selling it to third party retail stores, like BestBuy, and so people didn't really have a chance to buy it. But yeah, normally, Gateways aren't that good anyways. But I dunno. Oh yeah, the 1.5 GHz Pentium M Processor, in terms of Pentium 4 Processor....how fast is that? Also, is the AMD Athlons-M....I don't get the difference. Is PM better then? Please let me know. Thanks
Answer:
Oh, ok. Damn, you have helped so much. Do you have AIM? Maybe we can talk. I have a lot more questions to ask but don't want to keep putting new threads. Haha. But yeah, I really need help on picking a computer. As we established, I want a Pentium M notebook that has at least 60 GB and at least 512 MB of ram. The screen has to be at least 15.4 inches and not bad to look at. My price range is about $500-$1500 and not more than that. PLEASE help me out. Im really desperate. Thanks!!!
