Gateway P-171XL FX

Computers  Released on 23 March 2008

Price: N/A

Finally there is a laptop with excellent specification and beautiful design. Gateway P-171FX is obviously one of the best choices for hardcore gamers. With Intel Core 2 Duo X7900 (2.8 GHz), nVidia GeForce 8800M GT, and massive 400 GB hard disk capacity, I think Gateway P-171FX is even better than XPS M1730. However, its price tag is quite expensive as well ($3,000).

Some people believe Gateway P-171 FX is the re-branding product of its earlier edition, P-170L QS. Well, both are extremely different. Gateway P-171 FX steals attention from here and there for its awesome performance. The casing design with “FX” logo is cool enough for me but if you think the otherwise, you could pay more for design customization. Gateway even offers you choices like LED lights such as the one that you can find on Dell XPS M1730.

About monitor, Gateway P-171 FX has resolution options up to 1,920x1,200. I was quite impressed when I tested heavy games such as Crysis and Call Of Duty 4 with this laptop. About features, maybe Gateway P-171 FX is not better than Toshiba Satellite X205-SLi4 because it only puts three USB ports but also has one eSATA port.
