JESUIT - gadget@TTS -Ep55- Gateway P-171XL FX Laptop

http://www.TheTechStop.net

If you're a gamer, you know that portability and performance don't necessarily go together. Sure there have been a few notable efforts in making a mobile gaming platform, but none of them have hit that magic midpoint between price, performance and portability. Gateway wants to change all that with the release of their new P-Series of notebooks. These 10lb monsters packs a massive amount of features normally only found in high-end gaming desktops, and it does it at a price that will not require you to take our a second mortgage!

Check out these Specs...
* Intel® Core™ 2 Extreme Processor X7900
* 3072MB 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
* 400GB 7200rpm Serial ATA RAID
* NVIDIA® GeForce® Go 8800GTS w/512MB
* 17" 1920x1200 LCD

The modern-day model of this laptop costs $1050.

Changes in technology changes never cease to shock me.

DeathToTheseWalls,

Such is the life of a nerd! -- That's one of the reasons why I never buy "bleeding edge" products. (Think first iPhone, first laptop, first OLED screen, etc.) They may be cool, and I like to review them so that I can show people what's around the corner, but either wait two months or buy the third unit from the top to hit the price-performance sweet spot.

I believe Gateway already made an updated FX laptop not too long ago.

[gadgettts]

@o0Deano2k80o,

True... but isn't that the way with ALL technology? -- After all, this review IS from more than 2 years ago.
