Gateway P-7811FX

By (cnet.com)

Features a high-end Centrino 2 CPU and Nvidia GeForce 9800 graphics card for an incredibly reasonable price ; higher screen resolution than previous models ; 4GB of RAM and 64-bit OS

Lacks a few basic amenities, such as Bluetooth and a fingerprint reader ; 200GB hard drive is merely average

We don't know how Gateway makes money selling these things, but the combination of high-end components and low price makes the 17-inch Gateway P-7811FX the best mobile gaming deal going right now.

This computer was advertised all over BestBuy... 

when it runs without freezing up its really nice.

Since day 1 this computer locks up while playing wow. Could take 1 min or 30 mins but it will lock up. Multiple tests by Geek Squad couldnt duplicate this problem besides online games. The first time I used it since getting it back it crashed.
