It's not on the website... I'll go into work tomorrow and do some research. I'll have some solid for you all by 3pm EST tomorrow (12/23/08), that is assuming the web site doesn't update between now and then.

I saw 2 of these today at Best Buy. My brother and I thought they were a price mistake and each bought one. He has been playing with his and love it. I haven't opened mine because I could not find any information on it so I want to be able to return it if it's not a great deal. It is definitely a 7805u.

The side of the box shows several specs that are INCORRECT. It shows a WXGA screen but when we opened my brother's in the store before we left it had a WUXGA screen. Otherwise it seems to have the same specs as the 7801u.

Also, the Best Buy associate had no specs for it. I chatted live with and called Gateway directly and they said they don't have any info on it yet, no drivers or downloads. The Gateway tech said it was manufactured Dec 12th and released for sale today.

I wish I could! All I have is what is posted on the side of the box (some of which is wrong) and what I can see from inside Vista.
