Gateway P-6831FX Gaming Notebook Review

Topic:

Hothardware published a review of the Gateway P-6831FX Gaming Notebook.

Quote from the review: "While there are quite a few manufacturers building GeForce 8800M equipped notebooks, almost all of them are high-end products that demand top dollar for the pleasure. Gateway's "P-Series FX" line-up of 17" gaming notebooks seems no different at first glance. However, careful inspection of their product specifications reveals that the most junior P-Series FX model weighs in at just $1,349.99, a decidedly mid-range price point for this type of machine. Yet it's still powered by a GeForce 8800M, just like the rest of the otherwise high-end FX notebook line-up. Read more

Topic:

Overclock3D published a review of the MSI TurboBook GX600 gaming notebook.

Quote from the review: "There's no denying that the MSI GX600 Turbobook is one fast notebook. Sure it might not have the unadulterated power of SLI found in some gaming notebooks, but with an Intel Core 2 Duo T8300 "Penryn" combined with 3GB RAM and a reasonably powerful 8600M GT 512mb GPU, the GX600 is more than capable of playing the latest games at its native resolution of 1280x800 with medium detail settings and filtering disabled.
