I'm considering buying one of these two laptops:

Gateway T-6836 (http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/gate...-33088556.html)

Toshiba Satellite U405D-S2852 (http://reviews.cnet.com/laptops/tosh...-33088926.html)

The C-Net rating is higher for the Gateway, but I'm iffy about Gateway, and I can't seem to find any specifics about why the Toshiba has a poor rating (other than the relatively short battery life).

I'm mainly concerned about overheating, reliable parts, and the warranty/customer support.

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated. I've been reading through dozens of reviews about these computers, and I'm still having difficulty figuring out which is the better option.
