The Gateway P-6831 FX offers some impressive performance for a sub $1500 laptop.  With a Core 2 Duo T5450, 3GB of Samsung DDR2-667,an nVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTS 512MB and a 17″ screen with a native resolution of 1440×900.  All that in a package that weighs under 10 lbs.  AnandTech was really impressed at the value that this laptop offers, hopefully some of the other manufacturers will take the hint and offer some of their own.

“If you’ve ever looked at buying a gaming notebook, you have likely been very disappointed in the offerings that cost less than $2000. In fact, up until Gateway dropped the P-6831 FX on the mobile gaming market, we honestly haven’t seen anything that would even qualify as a good midrange gaming notebook. Gateway didn’t just break a $2000 price barrier, however. Available at locations like Best Buy for a mere $1350 (and currently with a $100 rebate), the P-6831 FX completely redefines the midrange gaming notebook. Let’s look at how they managed to do this.”
