Reviews of the Gateway P-6860FX

CNET Review
The Good: Excellent performance for the money, particularly with games; offers more memory, a larger hard drive, and slightly faster CPU for same price as the model it replaces; includes HDMI and eSATA ports.
The Bad: Not configurable; wimpy CPU for a gaming system.
The Bottom Line: The Gateway P-6860FX offers GeForce 8800 gaming muscle and plenty of memory in a midprice laptop, making it a great choice for gamers who fall just short of hard-core.
