Ok, I have been to Best Buy 2 times this week to get a this Gateway laptop that i was going to buy. They did not have it either times. I learned to call ahead to see if they have any in stock. Both laptops have 320 gb hard drive, and 4gb memory RAM. When I was there on Monday afternoon, I saw this Sony one for $100 more and about the same specks. I would like to get that one now, but I am about 50 dollars short of the price. My mom and I made a deal, I would buy the laptop, and she would pay for tax, and all the other stuff that comes with it. How should i convince her to let me get the sony one. The gateway is only $480 without tax. The sony is $580 with out tax. I have about $530 or $540 dollars saved up. Also tell me what you think of the 2, and what one should I get. The customer reviews on both are very good, but I have heard Sony makes great laptops! I have had this Acer aspire 5315 which is the worst laptop ever, even the guy at best buy said that. So i want a good laptop with good memory and ram. Both laptops meet that requirements. What is the overall better one? I'll be using it for everyday uses, surfing the web, skyping with my sister at college, checking e-mail, going on facebook. And some gaming. But which one would you suggest me getting. I like the sony better, but would get the Gateway if it was better. here are the links to the 2 laptops.
