My first laptop was a lower end Gateway for around $700. I liked It in terms of hardware; it was fast and all (no GPU though, so no gaming) but physically it was the least durable laptop I have ever used. Started seeing cracks in the casing within 2 months, and within a year the screen was being all weird and flashy, and only 1 of the 4 USB ports work. No trouble with the Sony yet!"}
