About 8 months ago I bought a new Gateway NX570X with Vista Ultimate. The only reason I went with Vista was to learn how to support it.

After reading all the bad news about Vista I was expecting a lot of problems. The box arrived and I started in on it. I was amazed at how fast and easy it
was to get on my wireless network. I was printing wirelessly in just a few minutes. 45 minutes later I was done. After reading all the bad news about Vista I was stunned at how easy it was. And that was the first time I've used Vista.

The new Gateway's are shipped direct from China and are much better than their older laptops. Movies look fantastic on this laptop. The screen is incredible.

I'm having very few problems with this laptop. Knowing that Vista needed a lot of horsepower, I loaded it up pretty well. I find that 2G of RAM is fine for what I'm doing. A dedicated video card is a must for Vista.
