  • hi i have this laptop i need someone buy it . any contact serious i pai the delivery the half . and half. the price i need hear some offers

  • so whats better, this or the p-7808u, or the p-7807u. can someone help?

  • if you in the D.C. area i can sell you this laptop for $450.. still in perfect an new looking condition.. and unlike the laptop in the review my version has 1920x1200 screen and also two 320gb hard drives in raid 0 + windows 7 ultimate 64 bit

  • Sinchiroca 07, you you got a problem with your video board! you have to buy a new and not force a lot with games that are overweight.

  • I bought this a year ago. I stopped carrying it on trips cause its way too heavy. I am now using it at home (my HP broke). I play Bioshock great but it gives me a lot of problems when I play FIFA09. Iwonder if I am doing something wrong with the settings? If someone knows let me know. I payed $1000 in BestBuy. Got the warranty too. I am currently looking for a travel size replacement of this FX (14inch or smaller), Any suggestions?

  • @SINCHIROCA07 there isnt i play gta 4 and it gives me lots of problems, it freezes and sometimes the game dosent start at all but when it does the processor gets extremely hot. ive decided to buy a 15 inch macbook pro which is much more portable and reliable, also the fx hardware and casing is very crappy and fragile

  • @SINCHIROCA07 alienware m11x

  • hey nice vid...What about the Gateway P-7815u FX notebook?

  • Hmmm thats crazy, didnt know they made a laptop FX just bought the desk top with a 24in monitor XD

  • Here's a correction: P8400 runs at 2.26 GHz not at 2.24 :D. Although it's said at first but Albert still got it wrong at the end of the video =))

  • Gettin the same thing but it comes with a 500gb hard drive, and windows 7 :) 

  • does it have bluetooth?

  • hey computertv this guy is better than the blonde idiot

  • @arslanbali I gotta tell you that it's quite too late to say that out :))

  • i'm selling mine in Chile: quebarato .cl/ gateway-fx-notebook-17-para-ga­mers-por-800-000__5B80A3

    no problems so far, I must say this is the best computer i have owned

  • I have the desktop version of this...insanely fast

  • i have this laptop. I gotta say it's awesome. It runs all the new games with everything on high. I replaced my desktop with it =)

  • lol Should be replaced with an i3 330 350 or i5 430 520, would be nicer =))

  • @MYMAnarchy then the price would be way higher!

  • @Jake50754 A few hundred USD more :D

  • @MYMAnarchy for me thats alot,

  • @Jake50754 Where are u from dude, I don't think in North America or Europe a few hundred USD is not a big deal

  • @MYMAnarchy im from the us but im only 17 so its a big deal

  • @Jake50754 You're 1 year older than me :D

  • pussy can be best detailed on high res not big as screen unless its a high res.

  • HAHA

    "it's got a modem, sounds stupid, but, just wait until hurricanes come"

    LOL

  • i hate big retailers reviews, consumers make the best because they will hate it or love it on time but these guys just do it based on specs

  • i do have an issue here my GateWay FX the right side speaker dose not work

    What i should do i need some help here

  • I like how these guys aren't stupid with computers like HSN lol

  • And now I will stick my dick in the laptop...

  • Asus G73JH

    I have the 7805 and I want that laptop badly. It has the fastest mobile gpu, a quad core processor, back-lit keyboard, larger hdd, faster ram (if you're lucky), and a sleek look.

    The 7805 comes stock with the low res 1440 x 900 however if you were lucky gateway accidentally hooked you up with the 1920X1200. The g73 comes with a 1080 resolution. I am going to wait one more year for the next gen laptop to make a purchase as the 7805 still is formidable.

  • literally a carbon copy?

  • Why did they take off some models from their website? I was interested in one and they removed it

  • any body no about upgrading the graphics of the gateway md laptops i can get a p series card but idk if there interchangable any help?

  • I'm on that laptop right now :) its awesome

  • haha I have this.... I can play any game on high, mannn so sexy

  • i have this laptop the only thing that sucks is wireless swith i had to glue it with super glue cus ive always kept turning it off acciidently it is very sensitive

  • i have this computer and i like it but i get bsod sometimes

  • do u get a free windows 7 upgrade?

  • yup, its on the gateway website

  • nop :( but the laptop is very good ^^ and sexy

  • WHERE can I buy this. Tiger Direct is no longer selling this thing. I live in Canada.

  • i bought mine at computer trends in calgary.

    you can also get them at futureshop

  • i know ecomelectronics is still selling it for $799

  • Get the ASUS G51. It's faster than this. I got the ASUS G50 which has similar specs to the P-7805u FX. Very good laptop!!

  • LOL. This guy is saying how good of a laptop this, especially for its price range. This laptop would smoke most gaming laptops out there for ITS PRICE RANGE. m17x is what 1700+? this is runnin about 1000-1200?

  • yea, a good m17x (not default spec) will run over $2000

  • this laptop cost me 900, m17x is a fucking rip ne1 who buys ne thing from dell is a retard who likes to shit their money away. it has good specs but not worth 1500-4000

  • still loving my P-6860FX running Windows 7 -- yes, Windows 7 is a hundred times better on this machine than Vista 64-bit ever was. Upgrade your OS as soon as you can, guys. :)

    love these Gateway gaming laptops. they run hot; so, buy a Rosewill laptop fan plate.

  • yeah im stil using my 6860 also.

  • Then your a fucking idiot, if you have enough money to get this laptop, the m17x and another alieware, one you're a tool for buying so much shit that you only need one, and two, you're buying alienware desktops, I'll leave you to your money, oh whoops its going to alienware anyway

    lrn2build

  • I want to get some new panties lol this guy I was seeing stole them!

  • How does the touchpad feel? I am left handed, so it looks it's perfect for me. It looks wierd, but i am also wierd, so that is a plus. I write with my left hand, but i throw a ball with my right hand. How long does the battery keep this puppy going?

  • the trackpad is awesome, its really smooth and responsive. You can get up to 3hrs of battery life in power saving mode, but when you are gaming it wont last longer than 1hr and 20mins... This is an awesome laptop!!

  • I got this laptop from TD back in May... it is probably still the best deal you can get for any laptop under a 1k .. I would put the price I got it for back then which was hundreds less but I don't want anyone getting jealous... A MUST BUY FOR ANYONE LOOKING FOR ANY TYPE *ESP GAMING* LAPTOPS. GREAT FOR BUS/SCHOOL LOOKS HAWT RUNS LIKE A CHAMP

  • Gateway dose not have a toll free phone number to ask questions on a product. its like send it snail mail or fax it in. there is no way to make custom configure your system. so it comes with basic LCD screen low res screen. when my different brand name computers run in a much higer res. and not waste my time on Vista.

    I jsut look at gateway sight and I cannot call any one and ask some basic questions on a product

  • low res? mines 1920x1200 WUXGA 1200p

    no custom config?

    you can throw a t9800 on there with dual SSD's in raid 0 with 8 GB DDR3..

    pffff

  • my notebook got DDR3 graphic memory and DDR3 system memory and I can install windows xp and not waste my time iwth a stupid dead Vista.GeForce GTX 280M and speceal DDR 3 graphic memory that is not used from the system memory.

    LCD screen 1920 by 1200 pixels

    I can install windows XP while eveything else is stuck with vista the worst broken bull shit O.S. on the market. I refuse to buy anything with Vista on it

    I even have eSATA port. nd If I cannot use Windows XP well then forget it

  • use 7

  • Vista is a piece of shit. anyhing with vista on it is not worh it

  • Vista is fine. Stop watching mac adverts and get more RAM.

  • chronologically

  • You cannot justify that you can have everything you want when your heir to everything, its all yours bitch and either way, those laptops suck, there is no reason to get a m17x to play crysis and shit when its going to be running on lower settings and over heating a ton. your paying 2000 for m17? i payed 1200 for a rig that destroys both laptops

    get owned son

  • Then by your logic of you heiring everything, their your problems bitch

    man go see a shrink

  • Lightscribe and lableflash are awesome if you can get the media to beable to use them. If not then they are somehting you will never use.

  • all of the gateways i've had have sucked ass

  • But does it float?

  • it had everything besides the price how much does this thing cost??

  • on the site it says it costs $999.99. Pretty cheap.

  • wow that is cheap i thought it would be more cuz this thing is a beast

  • i pooped on that rock over there

    still want it?

  • lmao...

  • fuck off with your richness dual laptops jerk

  • jealous!

  • Comment removed

  • who put the betty page pic on it

  • Bigger then my desktop screen by 2", *Cry*

  • I had to wait 10 sec :-O

  • I want the awesomeness!

  • decent but i know they have a better gaming laptop out there than that one (I'm not bashing it, i would get. it i just want mine without the useless modem feature and i want mine with blue ray drive)

  • yes but this one is very affordable

  • wow can i get that video card inside my laptop!!????

  • Today's my 14 b day I'm getting an i7 system with 4850x2 6GB RAM can't wait!!!!!!!!!!

  • Spoiled brat.

  • lolz

  • nice, enjoy it

    and HBD

  • Thanks :))

  • Seriously? dude, the only 'benefit' of a smaller screen is the lower rez., your 22" will do any rez. below it's maximum (of course).

    you will not see ANY performance increase by getting a smaller monitor, only by running on a lower resolution. instead of running games at 1920x1080 (or 1200, whatever your screen is) run them at something like 1280x720.

  • Im running a 9600 gt on a 22 inch screen.

    If i turn down the resolution in-game, would that increase the performance as much as getting a smaller screen?

  • getting a smaller screen well smaller than 22 inch...... well have less resolution... meaning you can be able to have an increase in performance but little screen... to see it

  • of course, the resolution can be a "Performance Enemy" for example.. on Call of duty 4... o my shitty laptop, if i use 1280x900 resolution, it won't neither to start, but if i use 800x600, it can run almost smoothly :)

  • Yeah but what i wanted to know is:

    Does decreasing the resolution of a game give u the same performance boost as buying a screen with that resolution.

    For Example: Will CoD4 on 1200x800 resolution (on a larger resolution screen) run as smoothly as the same computer running the game on a screen with that resolution. (a smaller screen)

    Will me buying a smaller screen make my games run smoother than me just turning down the res. on a larger screen?

    PS: my longest comment ever.

  • Thats a really good question!

  • The smaller the screen the less your Grahpics card has to work.

    Higher Resolution> Higher demands

    Bigger Screen> Higher demands

  • Completely wrong. Screen size has nothing to do with how hard a game is to run. Resolution is what matters.

  • @FortunexenutroF he said resolution was smaller.. not the screen size.

  • @FortunexenutroF Maybe you should pay attention, he said "Now that you have a smaller resolution you get a better frame rate"... he mentioned the screen was smaller, correct, but he never said the size of the screen gave better FPS.

  • No.

    Running 1280x800 will be exactly the same on a 18" monitor as it will be on a 40" TV.

    The video card only renders pixels at the resolution selected, the size of the display has nothing to do with it.

  • Thanks a bunch. 5/5 for that answer :D

  • i7 ftw

  • Do you have to say the CPU specs so fast? Jesus, sounded like an auction.

  • it actually took 8 secs...

  • LOL thats what i was going to say

  • haha. they always have "2 secs"

  • Ever since Gateway was bought by Acer all their laptops have suddenly gone up in quality. I love it.

  • I have two of these laptops and they have never overheated or even got close to it. They are solid, wouldnt change them for any other laptop

  • From experience, I've had 2 laptops from gateway and both overheating, everything else is great but I'm guessing they all overheat comparing to other name brands.

  • Nice laptop, the design could be better though.

  • Comment removed

  • Why is it that on all FX-series gateway's, the numeric keypad is always inconsistent in height at the edge. It looks really shoddy, particularly on the right side of the keypad.

  • i prefer my G60 =)

  • no benchmarks?

  • This is a great laptop, i had a choice between this or an HP dv7-1285dx... with 2.4gz centrino 2...6GB ram.... 9600mmGT (512mb dedicated) video card..... i went for the HP... im all about multitasking, so the extra RAM was good. I still wonder to this day if i made the right choice lol!

  • YOU MADE THE WRONG CHOICE, you could have just upgraded the RAM.

  • Hmm... Guess you are right... but i guess its too late now. lol... can a video card on a laptop be upgraded? (im just curious)

  • Some can be, PM me if you want to know more.

  • the msi gt725 crushes this laptop

  • This is a mid-range gaming laptop.

  • they're both in the same class, 17 inch gaming laptops

  • 'its wrong but it feels so right!' haha nice.

  • "its a little offset to the right witch you think is wrong but feels so nice." .....

  • you spelled witch wrong lol

  • nice but, waaay outa date, corei7 with a gtx260 for $400 more

  • not 400 more, more like a thousand more

  • Absloutly graet Laptop !!

  • I own that laptop and it is awesome

  • 0:21 did he say "gayway"?

  • hahaha!!! nooo

  • yes he did xD hahaha

  • HE DID AHAHAHAH

  • LOL yes

    SimsCreedGuy

  • Great

  • WE WANT SAM

    WHERE IS SAM

  • you know what frustrates me with this youtube channel.... it never lists prices, i wish it would list just one price from the same retailer each time, saves me having to type it in google.

  • yea i know it get annoying to look up the price on newegg or tiger direct

  • OMG i want this soo bad! i might get it

  • want it.

  • a G A T E W A Y ??? Really?

  • they have been making extreme pcs for awhile

  • Just go with a desktop, affordable and much more better.

  • I WAITED 8.. 8... EIGTH SECCCCCONDS

  • Its more like a "can you add videocard to laptop?". Good luck finding one.

  • No you are stuck with what comes with it. Some companies played a bit with upgradable laptop vidcards but it didn't take off much. Choose your laptop specs wisely when buying.

  • m17x, rape.

  • i have this laptop, i recommend it to ANYONE who is into gaming/music production/graphic or video work

    best laptop i've ever owned, it IS a bit heavy, and gets hot very fast, but nothing a few extra fans couldn't fix :)

  • My Favourite!

  • 4th!

  • This laptop is great but its a little heavy gets a lil dirty But great graphics i can run oblivion on very high with 720p resolution

  • 720p isn't that much.

    That's 1280x720. Most screens now a days are 1600:900 or higher, and graphics processors have been able to handle most stuff at 720p for a while.

  • No one cares.

  • well done!
