    hey guys im lookinf for a laptop. i dont have a lot of money so 1500 is the max. i will try to run some games on my new laptop but most of the time i dont pay attention to the resoulution/detail. i was wondering if the Toshiba x205-s9810 would be a good deal. nivedia geforce 8700m gt and etc. for only 1299.99. plus if i buy at costco it comes with another year of warranty for free? please comment. thx

    i think that would be real sweet. the only thing is warranty wise. because i live in canada and costco says i can take it in anywhere would bestbuy let me do that? because i checked the canadian bestbuy and they dont have it. :'( oh yea the link for the first one is http://www.costco.com/Browse/Product.aspx?Prodid=11280033&whse=BC&Ne=4000000&eCat=BC|84|56670|74801&N=4024790&Mo=4&pos=5&No=2&Nr=P_CatalogName:BC&cat=74801&Ns=P_Price|1||P_SignDesc1&lang=en-US&Sp=C&ec=BC-EC10590-Cat56670&topnav=#

    The one problem with the Gateway p-6860fx is the weak processor, it has a T5550.

    i went to the gateway site and it has p-172x fx which is like the same thing but has a better processor, Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor2 T5750 (2.00GHz, 667MHz, 2MB L2 cache). is this the same product? it looks good for the price.

    i also found the 6860fx but some of the specs arnt as good...

    im actually really considering the gateway i was talking about but i was wondering if the intel 2 duo core processors at 2.0ghx would be good enough for game present and games future.

    should be fine, and if you decide to upgrade CPUs it is fairly easy on that model i hear.

    Indeed, the processor is fine for gaming.
