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.

Yet it's still powered by a GeForce 8800M, just like the rest of the otherwise high-end FX notebook line-up. Read more
