I shopped online for about a week and went to best buy and was looking around, this was also my first laptop, i didn't find anything i liked out on the show floor, the rep there pulled down a Gateway of all things and i checked the specs on it and it was a rockin laptop for gaming, it's the FX edition, has 2X 3.0 processors, 4 gigs ddr3, and a 9800 gtx with 1meg on video card ram, it's a nice laptop, just a gateway.
it was for around 1200.00
