    Terminator: The Sarah Conner Cronicles
    In the Episode "Strange Things Happen at the One Two Point" John Conner himself is using a gateway FX laptop. Happens at about 3minutes into the show. Go to Fox on Demand if you want to watch it.

    Not really important, but i got a kick out of it, nice to see the FX even making it in media.

    Youre tripping Jakamo.

    Its simply a modded 6860FX, making it the ultimate laptop ever.

    have proof? a pic? otherwise it's a 6860.

    i thought it was funny when they showed the screen, and he barely did anything when trying to move the cursor, some computer genius.

    That's 1440x900 so it's either a 6831 or 6860. I still say 6831 :D

    it was a joke that it had a centrino 2 sticker, but at least now we know that given the resolution and the fact that it has the extra media center button to the right of the power button, it's not a 7811. However, where's your proof that its a 6860 and not another 68** model. You can't use "lack of proof" as a evidence to the other extreme...

    And it was clearly an Altair....
