    I'm using one right now! It's a good computer. But you can get a different model that has very similar specs just without the looks. Gateway currently does not have any FX laptop for sale on their site, this one was gone early. Look at some other of the M series I think, many have a little better processors and 4GB of RAM instead of the 3GB this has.

    Good Choice btw!

    :)

    Yes, to both. Some of them have GMA X3100, so just make sure it has the ATI 2600

    Well I was also lokking at a m-6862 same specs but better ram and processor. And all the other m series have a intel suck graphics card. And I will check that mc and see if they are cheap beacause that is what I am looking for.

    The fx are cheap and have good performance so does the m-6862
