What are your thoughts? Is it good? Or really crap?

Pretty good for a laptop. Gateway makes good computers.

I thought it was decent also, but often times people here point out that there are actually bad parts about laptops that seem very good.

I dunno, I hardly know anything about laptop parts. For example, I have no idea how good that graphics card is.

Seems good to me
I'd go for it if your going for a laptop under $700

Integrated graphics suck for anything more than flash games, the Source engine, and running the Windows desktop. As far as mobility goes, 17" is too big. I'm personally own a 14". Also, make sure it has enough connectivity for you. 3 USB ports might not be enough, and you might find some other ports as useful.

You are right about portability, I would definitely buy the 15". I'm only planning on using it as a work computer, so I don't think that I need high quality graphics stuff for the limited amount of computer games I would use it for. I'm not really huge on computer games anyway.

From what I have read that card is really low-end.

Edit: I realize you are going to use this as a work computer. However, you should probably go with HP. They actually use cards in their laptops.
