      I have last year's model of this laptop, excellent machine! I love it. Compare the specs and you would be hard pressed to find a better laptop for gaming anywhere near this price! -Chris

      It's the same thing as P-7811FX, the difference is that this has 1GB vs 512MB RAm on the graphics card, and 320GB vs 200GB of HD space

      My refurb P-7811FX is still going strong. The AC adapter is sizzling right now as I type. Seriously.

      I feel sorry for the guy who bought my refurb Gateway P-7811FX on eBay for $1150. It was a decent $400 profit after paypal fee and eBay commission. I probably should have bought two from Tigerdirect.

      #5, remove your battery and the AC adapter will cool down. My asus's AC adapter would be ridiculously hot when my battery was in the laptop, I remove the battery and it cooled down significantly.
