For anyone considering a machine in this size range, it would be difficult to find a comparable notebook for the price.


Highs: Affordable price; good performance and battery life; 1080P display; good Wi-Fi reception

Lows: Large size and weight; chassis feels cheap at times; small touch pad

Introduction

Known in its pre-production phase as Godzilla, the Gateway P-7801u notebook lives up to its moniker by making "big" a design ethic. From its 17-inch screen with full 1080p resolution, to a class-leading GeForce card humming away within, the P-Series FX doesn't skimp on much. While it predictably falls quite low on the portability spectrum, we found the machine to burn through everyday desktop-replacement chores, and even most games, without complaint, and for a very reasonable price.
