Gateway P-173XL FX
$2,000.00
Released August, 2008
The Pros:8800M is a very powerful card, comparable today to the 9700M or 9800M, by far faster than the current
9600M. Wireless N standard. Impressive 1920x1200 resolution.
The Cons:9.2 pounds is ridiculously heavy. Without the latest generation of hardware which can switch to an onboard graphics chip to save battery, this computer will not last long on battery.
Gateway P-173XL FX is the upgraded version of the P-173X FX model. A 2.4 GHz CPU speed is produced by a stronger Intel Core 2 Duo Processor and the graphics card is still the NVIDIA GeForce 8800M GTS.

This model will cater towards those looking for a media player, or a gaming unit, as audio is produced by HD built-in speakers. Additionally, wireless communication can be accomplished via either Realtek 802.11 a/b/g/draft-n (upgraded from the P-173X FX model) or Bluetooth 2.0 EDR. Media is displayed onto Gateway’s largest 17.0” WUXGA Ultrabright TFT Active Matrix screen. For added convenience, Gateway gave this notebook an integrated 1.3 mega-pixel webcam and allows for 4GB of memory to be expanded.
