A couple of days ago there was this awesome deal on the Gateway M-6827 laptop. It was sold for $549 instead of the regular price of $699 (at Office Depot). If you haven’t seen the pattern in most of the things I reviewed, it’s the fact that I like good deals. So what makes this laptop awesome? Let’s start with the spec (I promise you, it gets way more interesting):
- 15.4″-diagonal widescreen WXGA (1280 x 800) UltraBright™ LCD screen
- Intel Core 2 Duo processor T5750 operating at 2.0GHz 2MB L2 cach
- 3GB of PC2-5300 DDR2 SDRAM memory (2GB + 1GB)
- 160GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA (SATA) hard drive
- Multiformat DVD drive with Double Layer support (reads/writes DVD±R/RW, DVD-RAM, DVD±R Double Layer, CD-R/RW); supports disc labeling on Labelflash media
- Intel Pro/Wireless 3945ABG (802.11a/b/g) wireless LAN
- Integrated 1.3-megapixel webcam, for live video chat and still photos
- 5-in-1 memory card reader: reads SD, MMC, xD, Memory Stick, Memory Stick Pro
- Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100 with up to 384MB shared memory
And on top of that, it has a pretty slick and new design. Which leads me to wonder why it was so cheap.
