How does the 12" Lenovo deal from OD compare to this deal? (The 12" is $480 AR). |

Many FWer did agree that inventory checking works.......Dosnt matter. Its confirmed it does not work. Stores show instock when they actually have none. Ive seen before that even an OOS store had NIB item. You got luck and it had nothing to do with the inventory checker. |

BTW, they had a MT6458 for $550 ($100 more). The only spec differences looked like slighlty different processor w/ less cache, a name Marvell wireless card and a faster hard drive. Can anyone comment? Thay had plenty of those left (8, I think)

Yup, MT6458 for $550 was available in the San Carlos, CA store too but didn't pick it up. $100 extra didn't seem that good of a deal ... (esp with Gateway reliability. Btw, how is Gateway reliability currently? Is it equivalent to HP or Dell?) |

doesnt work or is outdated ... showed 4 stores in stock for me and only 1 actually had the laptop ... much better to go to the nearest store (even if it shows no stock and get them to check nearby stores ... i did that and got 1 for $349 with internet sign-up trick ...
thanks OP ... |

How does the MT6456 have a slower hard drive? The MT6458 and MT6456 have the same HD |

Is it really a steal at this price? For the ppl who already got this, what is your rating of this lappy? Not a big fan of AMD, but might be willing to give it a try |

Best Buy web site lists them are the same, but the box said otherwise. According to the boxes (I was looking side-by-side) the 56 had a 4200RPM drive and the 58 a 5600RPM drive. Also, the '56 box didn't specify a Marvell wireless card (only generic), though I see on Best Buy's web site that they are apparently has the same. Perhaps another spec error on the web site? I don't know... |

Well, I'll be damned. I just looked at the box, and it does say 4200rpm... but I check Gateways website and it says 5400rpm
