We managed to get our lucky paws on Gateway’s first-ever gaming machine, the P-171XL FX. We threw this bad boy through our tests to find out how well the latest gaming laptop holds up to the most system-crunching games, including Crysis.

At first glance, it’s obvious that this laptop was made for gaming and multimedia. The FX has a glossy black shell with orange, silver, and carbon fiber colored accents (think Halloween). Gateway packs a full-sized keyboard with a numeric keypad and a copper border. We also appreciate the large trackpad and included fingerprint reader.

Above the display are a 1.3-megapixel webcam, a microphone, and a small blue LED light that glows when the webcam is on. Even at just 1.3 MP, the camera produced a crisp picture that reproduced colors quite well and wasn’t too dark or too light.

I thought this was an extremely nice Laptop Gaming system. I read through it and was really surprised what they put in the laptop. Go check out the full review and see all the stuff they’ve done with it. That’s so cool!!
