Good idea, bad execution

"I bought this FX because it seemed like a good alternative to spending $2000+ on a comparable MacBook. I wanted to get into web development without being locked to a desktop.

Amazing deal for the horsepower recieved

★★★★★

"For the money this laptop is probably the best deal out there with the features involved. The 1 gig 9800M GTS video is a quite surprising addition for a laptop at this price point, and it does actually get some amazing framerates in games (Crysis set on High settings, and being put out through HDMI …"  Read Full Review »

Heck of a laptop for a heck of a price

★★★★☆
4.0

"The laptop does not come with the restore cd's. Gateway give you the option to make them with a disc restore creating utility listed in the program files menu. I find this a plus, cuts down on cost for gateway and the end user.
