Gateway Parts

Is this laptop a good deal?

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834101229 So this Gateway laptop on newegg seems pretty solid based on the price. 650 for a laptop with i5, a decent (laptop) videocard that supports directx 11 and decent battery life seems pretty good for this price. My only problem with this (slight problem) is that it's a Gateway, which doesn't exactly have the best rep when it comes to reliability. Any thoughts on if this is worth it? Any feedback from those with a Gateway laptop? Also, if I'm wrong in assuming the parts are decent, feel free to correct me. I think I'm pretty good with computers and computer parts, but I could be wrong!
