    i from sg and during pc show i brought a new model that P7809G
    but it was not show on the sg website even till now there only P7805g.
    and i haven see any video or review about it .
    the different between them is that it had P8700 with 3MB but 7805 had 2MB
    and P7809G res is only 1440x900 but P7805G is 1900x1200

    i want to ask if there a big different this 2 model like bios and driver(as i didnt seen any P7809G driver on the site) etc etc ?? and if i could use P7805 driver?

    and if there any thing i need to take note of as it was my first time buying from gateway and a high end notebook .

    Well they're both called the 7805u and p7809u I believe.

    BIOS and drivers would be the same for both models, and I do believe the only difference is the screen resolution, and maybe the processor. Take the higher resolution one.

    SG has 7804g, 7805g, 7808g, and 7809g FXs; they are international versions.
