Summer is well and truly here folks, and we understand it's far too hot to go hardware hunting for a discount. So relax by the poolside, and keep sipping on that chilled 3 olive martini. Team Laptopical have unearthed a Gateway, that could be a perfect choice for a college student, or small business owner.

Summer ishere folks, and it's far too hot to leave the pool, and gohardware hunting for that laptop deal. No worries, stay by the poolside, and keep sipping on thatchilled 3 olive martini - Leave the tedious work of finding abargain for college or business to team Laptopical.

As promised we've managed to dig up a deal not quite as affordable as ashoeshine and cab ride home, but almost.....Gateway have just slashed the price of the M250S entry level laptop to under 700 dollars. This computer weighs 5.2 pounds, comesequipped with a 14 inch widescreen display, 40 GB hard drive,256MB DDR2 SDRAM, and a 1.4GHz Intel Celeron M 360 processor - Pentium M's baby brother.

Sporting a Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 900, the GatewayM250s isn't the best machine for running the latest games, butcertainly the M250s is a solid choice for surfing the web,checking email, compiling spreadsheets, word processing etc.

What else do you get for 699 dollars? I'm afraid little morethan 3 USB ports, a firewire port, 1 PC card slot, and a 24xCD-RW/DVD-ROM. As you can see there are not many bells andwhistles with this puppy, but the basic model isconfigurable.

The Gateway M250S is being billing as a "back to school"laptop, and we think it's a good no frills machine, with respectableperformance. As for hard line gamers, move along now, nothing more to see here.

Visit Gateway.com to check availability and pricing ofthe M250S notebook.

    Thanks for the constructive feedback :) regarding the Overworld limitations and linearity, I only felt it limited in the sense that you aren't truely able to 'explore' fully in the way that could in other Zelda games - remember the underground caverns you could once find? - and quite frankly I miss that and it is basically linear in the sense that your destination is already full indir chosen, yes you are still exploring and in a wonderful new way but this Overworld 'Transport' also highlights the limitations of what Nintendo can do with a 3D Zelda game on the DS but what they 'have' achieved is still impressive and I do acknowledge that fully.

    And yes it's true that because of film izle the new Overworld mechanic, it doesn't seem 'empty' at times like TWW did when you were sailing around huge open masses of sea - the sailing in TWW is still captivating though and was a refreshing change at the time - as for the sidequests, I didn't go into detail because I don't want to spoil anything... this review may be late but I am aware that are still people out there who have yet to play it, but yes there is 'plenty to see and do' which I specifically highlighted diziizle.com as a positive, so I didn't ignore that aspect.

    @Benedetto - No... I was informed that I'd be receiving the game so going out and buying another copy of it would have been count sexs er-productive in this instance; November was a busy time both for myself and for game then of course I would have endeavoured to get the review done earlier and it would have perhaps been longer too but that was not the case and while it saddens me that I wasn't able to provide a review of a Zelda game soon after it being released I feel that I still did my best considering the circumstances.

    Please don't forget that N-europe is run 'voluntarily' and so sometimes setbacks and delays occur not because we want them to but due to other real-life happenings beyond our reasonable control; I'm not trying to hide behind excuses but merely attempting to give you all a better insight into why slayt these instances occur because sometimes it seems like it's all too easy for people to forget just how much of their own time people put into this website.

    Anyway, I hope this clears things up and hopefully answers a few questions, thank you all for the constructive feedback as it is always appreciated :) now if you will excuse me I have VC Weekly #122 to finish writing.

    The gateway m250s is a good starter laptop but that's about it. With an integrated graphics card that is equivalent to a top of the line 6 years ago, playing games or doing any video editing is out of the question. But for browsing the web and email it will work just fine.
