"At $1200, this laptop is GREAT!"
Pros: Obviously the price blows similar quality laptops out of the water. Great Hardware. 64 bit vista.
Cons: Looks kind of silly. Cheap plastic casing on the laptop can be awkward at times. No button to deactivate the touchpad. Occasionally the fan goes crazy. CPU is the bottleneck.
Summary: Yes, this laptop has its shortcomings, but after I paid 1200 for this laptop, I would not trade it for anything else similarly priced. My Alienware M5700 finally crapped out so I had to buy a laptop in a hurry and almost looked over this one at Best Buy because the price was so low. It is a fantastic deal and plays pretty much everything at high quality. It's not my Alienware, but the hardware inside wouldn't make you think it's not. I've had my Gateway FX for four months now with no complaints at all. Need a laptop for school/gaming but don't want to break the bank? Purchase the Gateway FX notebook.
