4.0 out of 5 stars Has a lot of features for your money, October 14, 2005

This review is from: Gateway MX6124 MX6124 PC Notebook Computer (Personal Computers)

First I'll explain why I didn't give it 5 stars. It takes a while to load, maybe it's because it includes 90 days of Norton Antivirus. I use EZ Armor on my desktop and it loads way faster when you turn it on. Another thing, again Norton antivirus might be the reason why, while watching DVD's the image is not as fluid so I would guess DVD burner might have little use if you won't get good videos, and it doesn't include any video editing software, although you can burn videos with very little options on the Nero Express you get.
Now It's very good when you can get it for 750 bucks and it includes 512 MB of Ram, most notbooks with that price tag give you only 256 MB. Once the computer is loaded even though it has a Celeron Processor it is very fast.
- The Integrated Wi Fi card is very good, I tried it at the office today and only entered the key for accessing the network and it was off and running. Later in the day turned it on and it sign into the network automatically.
- The 4 in 1 integrated card reader is very convenient to transfer files between this and other computers.
- Another great feature, specially because you don't get it for 750 is a 15.4 widescreen.
- 4 USB ports, 1 Fire Wire, 1 Video S and a monitor Port
- The software included is brand name and well known, including Mc Afee Spyware (30 day trial), Norton Internet Security (90 Day Trial) Nero Express 6.0, Power DVD, Office Trial in case you don't want to buy it you can settle for Works 8, which seem more complete than the previous version.
- Lots of memory a 60, yes you're reading correctly 60 GB Hard Drive, not a lot by today standards, but most notebooks in its price range have only 40 GB.
-Dual Layer multi format DVD+/-RW with up to 8X DVD +/-R

I'm really pleased with this purchase, and forgot to mention it looks stylish.

5.0 out of 5 stars My first and only notebook. The best for the price, August 8, 2006

I got this as a back 2 school gift. From best buy. Even though this my first notebook i think this is the best computer for the money. Surround sounding built-in speakers. Really bright screen, super fast (after booting up). This computer and windows media player are like salt and pepper! Super fast with DSL, stores tons of music. Super clear sound. Not really the big gamer type of computer. But basic games not requiring tons memory and video. IM ON IT RIGHT NOW, while listing 2 my favorite song! Really would tell any1 to get this bad boy!

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't get much better for the price...., January 24, 2006

i was comteplating between the 6124 and the Compaq Presario V2000. this really seemed to be the better buy. i am extremely pleased, even if the startup is a little slow. compared to my home PC, this is lightning. the main difference between the Presario and this one is the screen. 15.4 Ultrabright compared to Compaq's 14'' standard.
