Once you lay eyes on the Gateway P-170L QS, you'll understand why Gateway's prelaunch code name for it was Godzilla. It's the sheer size that gets you, at 11.4-by-15.7-by-1.5 inches (HWD). Add to that its 8.5-pound weight and you'll want to think twice before strapping it to your back. Visually, the patterns embedded underneath the piano finish are a definite improvement over the previous matted designs. But aside from these minor enhancements and a seemingly attractive $1,299 (direct) price tag, the P-170L QS could use a little more to pump up the shopping adrenaline.
