1. It's slow. What's the price?
2. I would say, don't buy a gateway. As a computer repair tech, I think they suck! Get a Toshiba or Sony.. and if not one of those then a Dell
3. HOLY MOTHER OF FUCKING WALLS OF TEXT. LINK PLEASE, NO MORE WALLS OF TEXT. FUCKING WALLS OF TEXT. CHRIST. It's not bad. How much is it?
4. a dule processor isnt the best out there but its good for a lap top, 4 GB is perfect for RAM 500 GB is really good for a laptop and i know windows 7 premium is the newest out there, so over all that is a pretty good lap top, if a 15 inch screen is good for you it should be a pretty good laptop looking at the graphics card looks like it can probably be a good gaming computer too ( not the best but good) over all id say id pay a little over 1k for that thing you didnt say how much you were gonna spend on it so i cant tell you the value, but i wouldn't pay anything over 2k that is way too much
5. You can use Leawo Free DVD Creator.It can burn videos to dvd with menu easily and quickly.You can find Leawo Free DVD Creator here: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&newwindow=1&q=leawo+dvd+creator&aq=f&aqi=g2&oq= Wish it can help, good luck!
6. An ok laptop for basic useage...but Bestbuy has a better Toshiba 505 series laptop with the much faster AMD Turion II M500,same other specs,though a smaller hard drive,320GB is enough for most.
