Got it at Best Buy for $499. Thoughts?

personally I don't like gateway and it's a dual core, but for the price not too bad.

Well, Gateway is very hit and miss and usually miss. They can be very reliable but usually aren't. I don't know what you are using the laptop for so I won't go into full detail. That being said, here is what I like and don't like about the setup:

 

The Good

DDR3 Memory

64-bit operating system

wireless n

720p screen (could be better but for the price it's nice)

HDMI

 

The Bad

5400 RPM HDD

8x DVD (ROM? Doesn't say writer)

USB 2.0 (3.0 is a cheap upgrade for them)

1 Year Warranty (I hope you bought best buys warranty)

Graphics card (I really can't say much because I don't know what you're using it for)

 

On another note, it has a nice, clean and professional look to it.
