Gizmodo compiled all the deals on one page.

Another thing is that Gateway laptops don't deserve the negative things people say. I'm actually posting from a Gateway laptop that I got for $1200 and can play 1080p movies and Dragon Age: Origins, Mass Effect and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 at 1920x1200.

Black Friday items are usually discontinued items or very low end stuff they just want to get rid of. I wouldn't waste my time. Save your money and buy a better quality PC for the same amount of money at Newegg.com

http://www.techradar.com/news/mobile-compu...-laptops-651331. My experience of HP and Dell is quite bad. HP's warranty was useless for me as the uber dumb technical support couldn't understand the issues the laptop was having. They're only interested in selling you extended warranty packs.

If you're buying a netbook, then Acer and Gateway make awsome ones.

Dell and Lenova are absolute junk though.

For laptops, I'd say HP and Toshiba.

Netbooks are the way to go, small, light, long battery life, fairly powerful and Win 7 absolutely flies on em.

But if you're into games, I'd go for a laptop though, screens too small on netbooks for gaming, and Intel graphics cards aren't any good for that. But Gateway makes an awsome 11.6 inch netbook with AMD 64bit processor and ATI graphics card, which I'd imagine is quite awsome, in fact, that'll be the next thing I buy.

    • Could you come up with a slightly less depressing background for Tux instead of that gray gradient? Doesn't have to be cheerful, just less of a downer...
    • Linux 7.2's first release candidate gets off to a good start by Paul Hill Credit: Larry Ewing It has been a few weeks since the release of Linux 7.1, and in that time, the Linux 7.2 merge window has been open, where developers can submit their features and patches ready for the upcoming release. That window is now shut, and the release candidate phase has begun so that new features can be tested and further fixes applied. According to the founder of Linux, Linus Torvalds, this week’s release candidate looks “reasonably normal”. Although we are super early in the release candidates, this is a good sign as it makes it more likely that an eighth release candidate will not be needed. Torvalds even mentioned that the update’s stats are only larger than they really are because there was another AMD header drop with a third of the patch just being AMD GPU register definitions, which aren’t big changes but make the code contributed look larger overall. In addition to this, he noted that just over half the patch is drivers, even when excluding the AMD register dump. The rest of the changes are spread out over architecture updates, tooling, documentation, and core kernel updates. In the next week, Torvalds says that he will be chilling out, taking the week “mostly off”. Despite this, he will be reading emails and keeping up with things, so if he is slow responding, now you know why. He said he is hoping for a calm week, but we will just have to see if the second release candidate is actually like that. We should expect seven or eight release candidates before Linux 7.2 is released, so expect it around the end of August. If you missed it a few weeks ago, be sure to check out our coverage of Linux 7.1's release.
    • Ridiculous claim that the labor cost difference of $6000 annually would increase cost per phone by $200. The employees produce 3 phones per month or what?
