Gateway C-140X Owners Lounge

Just ordered mine at a substantial discount from before. Was ~1800 shipped.

Now after talking to a sales rep, dropped office and vista business, upgraded processor for a $40 net savings, and with his computer fanagling came out with a faster computer for 1525!! And it should arrive a day earlier! The rep even said it would come earlier, but said he'd "get in trouble" if he gave me a solid date before then.

C-140X T7500 (2.2 GHz), 1 Gb RAM, 120 Gb 5400 hd, x2300 graphics card, bluetooth, extra modular battery, free extraneous programs (wasn't going to argue those out considering the discount)

ETA 7/24

did you get any of the warranties with that stuff? if so thats probably the best deal i've seen so far, by a long shot too.

Does anyone know of a nice bluetooth mouse to go with this beautiful tablet? I don't want a USB dongle hanging out of the side, and my options seem pretty limited. Any suggestions?

If you want a "Notebook" mouse, there's the Logitech VX. Or its fullsize partner in crime the MX. I've personally used the MX and while it's expensive, I've got to say its freakin sweet.

Hm we ordered on same day. What are your specs?

My online status officially states 'in production'.

I ordered the same day as you and have the same initially estimated arrival date as you had... but mine isn't in production, neither officially nor according to the reps. I'm starting to debate cancelling the order and getting one of the MacBooks with free iPod.

I've loooked at both of those and neither of them use bluetooth. I am looking for a mouse like the one included in Logitech's MX 5000 cordless desktop, without the keyboard obviously. Anymore thoughts anyone?

Sweet man, hopefully mine will move to production soon too...

I ordered mine on 7/2 and my EAD is the 25th, but I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled on the 20th and I'm really hoping to have it by then, so I can play with it while I'm recovering..
*crossing fingers*

Fabulous news. Im still processing but you definitly beat me to the punch in ordering. Can't wait to hear of more updates!

Anyone know if bluetooth modules can be bought aftermarket (or from Gateway) to be added later?
