The gateway laptop computer MX8741really works althrough there are a few kinks. for one thing it frequently sends to the gateway store instead of your hompage this is annoying.I has microsoft vista included whch I have found easy to work. The screen is large for a laptop (17") there was a fair ammount of software include some of which I could do without but good software was included too. I would buy this laptop again but would hope would not interfere with my logging on process by putting i n thier adveristing if I want anthing I'll ask for it
