Hi all:
I am seriously contemplating pulling the trigger on the Gateway P-6860FX at BB, since it's 1249 and you get a free game with it.
My main question is, does anyone have any experience with BB's accidental damage warranty? Is it worth the extra 350? Are they a hassle to deal with after the fact?
I don't plan on doing much to this laptop in regards to mods if that helps to sway the decision.....
Also, this comes with vista 64bit OS. Would the install disc for vista also have a 32bit version? I've heard of driver issues with the 64bit OS, so I wasn't sure if I wanted to pick this machine up if am guaranteeing myself future headaches with the OS.
I plan on using this for gaming in the living room, and for watching dvds, burning music, etc.
Any help would be appreciated.
