Gateway Gateway P-172X FX

A notebook catering to the gaming set is sure to deliver a flashy design and good horsepower. And Gateway's latest racer, the P-172X FX, doesn't disappoint.

Gateway P-172X FX

Excellent performance; includes HDMI and eSATA ports.

Not configurable, misplaced control key.

Gateway's new P-172X FX offers high-end perks in a midpriced laptop, making it a reasonable choice for gamers who fall just short of hardcore.

Love at first sight sometimes lasts... Caught this Gateway 17" P-Series laptop on sale several months ago, fell in love with it, and I could not be happier even months later...First off, the machine is an amazing value and a fabulous ...

Beautiful to behold and use. All the bells and whistles. Unparalleled value. Quality feel.

Not for high-end gamers. Poor battery life. Too heavy for a road warrior.
