Any idea if it has bluetooth? Couldn't find the exact model on the gateway site.

There was a previous thread when FS had it in early october

Bought this for $549 from FS a month ago. Good laptop, but I'm pretty sure it's a GMA 4500MHD not M

Anyone know if this has US keyboard or CAD one?

"To tell you the truth, the keyboard is one of the worst I used. I thought the extra keypad on the right would be helpful, but it's not. It screwed up the whole layout. The biggest pain in the butt is the left shift button...it's a tiny square, I don't think i am going going to get used to that. I think the reason for such small shift is because the keyboard is bilingual, and there's some sort of standard to make the shift key small on the bilingual keyboards. However, all the laptops on display at FS (except English only ones, and Dell) have this tiny shift key nonsense."

Most likely does not qualify for Windows 7 free upgrade?

Thanks for the info, I type fast and can't stand small shift keys. The Gateway site shows big shift keys, are we sure it will be the bilingual keyboard at Staples?
What is the screen resolution?

I'm seeing that it does!

[LetsGoWings]

on the site it shows a normal sized shift key on all the images?

also, sometimes small shift keys have a key that you barely use beside it (i.e. ";") if so, you go into the settings and make the ";" have the SHIFT function
