Gateway comes in at least two 4870 models, the other a UB2B. The latter is $100 less. Why would the UR3D be so much higher?
1263627
The UB2B is a Intel core i3 3240 Dual Core and the UR3D is Intel Core i5 3330 Quad Core. The UB2D is 6gb ram and the UR3D is 8gb ram The Hard Drive on the UB2b is 5400 RPM speed and the Hard Drive in the UR3D is 7200 speed. It would make sense for the UB2B to be 100$ less. Its much more weaker than this PC.

I upgraded with no issues. I used this Kingston Value RAM from home depot, and it works great in my Gateway (I have the LT2032u - same as the LT2030u, but in Black).http://www.officedepot.com/a/products/469115/Kingston-KVR667D2-2GR-DDR2-Memory-Upgrade/However, the price is a bit high at the moment. I only paid $32 on sale, and it's back up to the regular price of $49.

wtf is right. why is this going for almost 3x it's regular price? surely there is a new and improved version out there (which normally makes the price of the older model go DOWN). does anyone know?

The U100 is upgradeable to 2gig memory and has more wireless capability, incl bluetooth. I want the memory for photo editing. After I purchased this little puppy, I dumped my new entertainment pc and desktop. I found that I just kept reaching for the U100. I had evaluated the Asus HE and the Samsung. Both weighed more, and the Samsung cost a lot more. I am quad booting this with XP, OSX, Linux, and Windows 7 so that I can test my web site on several platforms. What a solid, well-designed little machine! The keyboard and speaker issues are minor compared to the tremendous value and flexibility of this laptop, and are easily dealt with.

I had same question!I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s... I found that even the Gilsson website only had one product, but they used both names for it !?Finally, I decided to check prices for "used" & "new"... and found that both models were being sold for pretty much the same price after S&H; was added. So, I'm concluding that they are one-and-the-same.The low price of UBM-1 is pretty deceiving... 'cause the S&H; brings it over $20 total... which is about the same as UBM price range w/ S&H.; I had same question!I spent ~ 1 hour... reading all comments for both... doing google search for both part #s...

No it doesn't. They are totally different. The base for the X230 is pretty common so usually cheaper anyway.

It is only a few hundred more than the D3 introductory price. The frame buffer upgrade alone justifies the price increase. Not to mention the increase in ISO performance. They took a great camera and slapped in some great enhancements. This isn't marketed toward people who have a D3, it is for those who do not.

Probably because they purchased it for under $100. If you notice amazon prices fluctuate daily. For example today (01/06/2014) the price is 97.82+ shipping.

My experience with Gateways is non-existent, unfortunately. The key would be to find out what the board already uses to see if the chip will match.

well yes, that's the difference between this and the DGL-4500 (which is currently half the price). to get both N and G, you would need two DGL-4500 units, so therefor twice the price. if you check out www.smallnetbuilder.com you will see that the DGL-4500 and DIR-855 use the same chipsets, and score quite well in their bandwidth tests, either #1 or #2 on the list. in my case, i have one 802.11N machine at home, and the rest are 802.11G, so if i got the dgl-4500, i would either need to step the N machine down to G, or spend the extra money to get N cars for the laptops, which winds up costing a lot more in the long run.

I have http://amzn.com/B004KY719A in mine. It's currently priced $88.95. It runs very well. I use this as a portable gaming system. I put my old Radeon HD 5870 in it when I got my Radeon HD 7970 for my main system, but even the onboard Intel video is decent for when I use it as a media center box at home.

Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks? It's like they are trying to make us buy the LNA46750 ($1630 or so). Makes no sense to me...there are apparently many TV buyers at the ready if Amazon wasn't jerking the price all over the place. If they don't get things straightened out shortly, I'll buy it over at Newegg. They're pretty reputable from what I understand, and the Newegg price of $1529 (free shipping) is looking better by the minute - though product appears to be on backorder or something over there. Patience will be a virtue here I guess. Now this thing is up to $1606? is everyone seeing this same price? Why in the world is the price rising like this in $50 chunks?

Hey Ben...not to get too technical..but they seem to increase the signal in proportion to the 2.4 GHz..the operative word here is "proportionately"..I think you will be happy with the results and the price is right...check out the Asus routers..Net gear is nice..but Asus has the edge..and Asus support is second to none...good luck..Jim

They may not be producing the 800 model anymore; hence the price for the older model is higher. I ordered the 800 and reviewed the 800 - there was no 850 product on Amazon at that time. However, I actually received the 850. I recommend the 850 strongly.

The "U" and "R" models are the same "Ohio Mom" is correct "U" is primary sold online and "R" is for "Brick-and-Mortar". The only physical difference I have seen is the logo on the router is gold for the "R" version and silver for the "U" version. I have had both versions of the RT-AC66 and could not find anything technically different. There are 2 separate firmware sites on ASUS web site but the version numbers are always the same.

HiThanks for looking and thanks for your inquiry.These parts are new and pulled from computers that Gateway built and then took apart because of overstock. They were never used. They are all tested before leaving our warehouse.We guarantee our boards for 3 months. We will issue money back or exchange, based on whatever the customer prefers.Please let me know if you have any further questions.AaronBulkBuys4Buildings on Amazon

Very good points. I noticed the 630 last night actually was in the $1400s. It seems to have been raised over night.I'm not in marketing, but it seems to me they adjusted the 630's price in order to make the 650 appear as if it is a good deal. Which don't get me wrong. $1550 is a great price for this TV based on other suppliers. However, it's illogical that they are raising the price unless they are simply trying to make more money or are getting low on stock. Either way, like you Stratixman, I won't buy it from amazon at this price. I had planned to use amazon but if they don't lower it back to where it was a week ago, I'll be using newegg. I'll give it a couple days but after that, newegg will have my business. Very good points. I noticed the 630 last night actually was in the $1400s.
