It has been my experience (in retail I have never knowingly dealt with a commissioned Tec) that commissioned sales staff are better to talk to because they are usually more knowledgeable. Yes they are also higher pressure but that doesn't bother me as long as they know what they are talking about which is in my opinion key. It stands to reason that if you pay is based on what you sell, and you will sell more if you are knowledgeable then it is in your best interest to learn as much as you can about what you sell. Of course you could simply take to lying but that will hurt you in the end with customer loyalty. To make a short story long it seem to hold true that commissioned staff are more knowledgeable because there product knowledge has a direct effect where it counts $money$,
I am the director of IT at a small software engineering lab and I have seen a lot of laptops from a lot of different makers and in my opinion the gateway 9500 is the way to go, it is bar none the best laptop out there and this is coming from a dell guy. I have over 350 dell workstations and we have quite a few dell laptops but the new dells cannot compete with the new gateway 9500 I just ordered the 9500xl it is sweet and pound for pound cheaper then the dells. However if you want lots of goodies cheap go to www.sagernotebooks.com they make a good (heavy) books cheap. Happy shoping and good luck.
