I do like that one.. of course if I had the extra money and was going that way I would rather have the Macbook . Yet, yes the one you pointed out is the one that I was considering. Though, the same Apple people I was talking about earlier were/are also trying to convince me that I should just get Mac Mini . They claim it is better and since it is so small I can put it near where I usually am... I still am more partial to the notebook/laptop since sitting at a desk makes life more miserable after a short time.
Like I said, I am almost positive that I will just end up going with Windows. I have been keeping an eye on this Gateway Laptop . Yet, I was probably going to take your suggestion and ask for some help on that. I trust most of those here on the forum more than my own meager computer knowledge and they seem to do a lot of the things that I like to do. I have never seen anyone here steer anyone wrong.. so hopefully by the end of the month I will be asking/begging/pleading for any and all help. lol. Seems that when this laptop is cooler the motherboard does a bit better, but after some time on it remember to start messing with me. Thanks for all the suggestions from you and everyone! I am here lots reading, but keeping post down until such time. Then I will be back to making you all wish I would just hush! lol.

p.s. HOLY COW! I got the links to work! rofl
The only thing I'll mention on that laptop is there's no free upgrade to Windows 7, which most companies will be doing in the very near future. And there's no sense in going with any kind of desktop model if you're going to be uncomfortable every time you use it!
Beyond that, we'll be here, when you're ready :)
