Gateway P-6860FX


(8.5 out of 10)


...the P-6860FX is a remarkable bargain that delivers excellent performance.

June 23rd, 2008 | by Josh Norem

Usually the words “gaming” and “budget-oriented” combine in the PC world about as well as oil and water, but that’s not the case with Gateway’s remarkable P-6860FX notebook, which is a truly great gaming notebook with an amazingly low price tag. This GeForce 8800-powered behemoth costs just $1,349 but is far from a stripped-down, bare-bones notebook. It’s loaded with features and expansion ports and has lots of storage as well as 4GB of RAM. The only real compromise is its 1.83GHz processor, but that’s not too egregious of a violation given its otherwise compelling specs.

  • Great for gaming
  • Tons of storage and inputs
  • Good battery life
  • CPU could be better
  • Soft-touch controls can be a pain to use
