I purchased the Gateway 7422GX after looking for a full six months for a laptop to replace my desktop computer (AMD Athlon 2200+, 1GB RAM, dual 120 GB HDD, NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti4800) so that I could turn my the desktop machine into a dedicated webserver. I wanted a laptop with a reasonable battery life, a nice graphics processor for playing games (Halo, Doom III, World of Warcraft), a DVD drive, and the ability to multitask with web-designing programs such as Dreamweaver, Flash, Photoshop, and Illustrator simultaneously. I didn't care about screen size, only needed a 60 GB HDD, and weight was not a factor. My price range was anything under $1500.
