The Gateway P-171 XL FX laptop is a mean gaming machine that goes head-to-head with the best out there.

Gateway has revamped its FX line of gaming desktop and laptop systems in hopes to take a bite of market share away from HP and Dell. We got our hands on the top-of-the-line P-171 XL FX notebook and came away extremely impressed. This is a flagship notebook with every next-gen component available, including NVIDIA’s new 8800 mobile GPU and a 2.8GHz dual-core Core 2 Extreme processor. Though Gateway has given it the usual “OEM” treatment in the form of lame trialware complete with “Try AOL” links on the desktop, the company has packed this notebook with so much performance and sassiness that we almost don’t mind.
