The good: Good gaming scores, thanks to the Nvidia GeForce 9800 graphics; very inexpensive for a gaming laptop.
The bad: Lower screen resolution than its predecessor; lacks a few basic amenities, such as Bluetooth.
The bottom line: Our favorite budget gaming laptop returns as the Gateway P-7805u FX, and while it's still the best deal going in mobile gaming, we're bummed the screen resolution has been dumbed down to sub-HD levels.
Editors' note: This review is part of our Winter 2009 Retail Roundup, covering specific configurations of popular laptops that can be found in retail stores.
Gateway's budget-minded 17-inch gaming laptops have impressed, offering a mix of decent components and high-end video cards for around $1,200. The most recent version, the P-7811 FX, was the best of the bunch, bumping the screen resolution up to 1,900x1,200 while only marginally raising the price. Sadly discontinued (but still hunted for on message boards and eBay), Gateway now has a mostly worthy replacement, the P-7805u FX.
This new system is a Best Buy exclusive that has a list price of $1,299, but is usually available for $1,149 or less, depending on promotions. We're sorry to say that despite the Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 CPU and Nvidia GeForce 9800 graphics card, it's a step backwards for the line, pulling the 17-inch display's resolution back to a more pedestrian 1,440x900.
You'll still probably have to play most games at that lower resolution to crank up the details, so it's not a deal-killer, but the cost-cutting is still a disappointment (and bad for watching HD video). Of the high-resolution P-7811 model, we once said that we didn't see how Gateway could make money selling these things, and it turns out we were probably more right than we knew.

Physically, this new model is virtually identical to earlier Gateway FX laptops, such as the P-7811FX. It features a glossy, black, plastic chassis, with brushed-metal detailing and copper accents around the keyboard. It's a subtle look, unlike over-the-top gaming rigs from Toshiba or Alienware.
The full-size keyboard and separate number pad have roomy, comfortable keys. Above the keyboard is a row of media controls, with buttons cut right into the brushed-metal border, along with one touch-sensitive control--a volume slider--which adjusts the volume a little too slowly for our tastes.
The first budget Gateway FX gaming laptops from early 2008 had a native resolution of 1,440x900, which was one of the biggest concessions to cost. As we said, we were pleased to see the Fall '08 model, the P-7811, move up to a 1,920x1,200 display, while keeping the price down.
Unfortunately, the new P-7805u slips back to 1,440x900, perhaps a victim of shrinking profit margins. In real-world terms, you'll probably play most games at the lower resolution in order to keep detail levels turned up high anyway, but downloading and playing 1,080p HD video content loses some of its appeal with the lower resolution.
| Gateway FX P-7805u | Average for category [desktop replacement] | |
| Video | VGA-out, HDMI | VGA-out, HDMI |
| Audio | Stereo speakers, headphone/microphone jacks | Stereo speakers with subwoofer, headphone/microphone jacks. |

| Networking | Modem, Ethernet, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi | Ethernet, 802.11 b/g/n Wi-Fi, Bluetooth |
| Optical drive | DVD burner | DVD burner or Blu-ray player |
We liked the eSATA port for hooking up an external hard drive, as well as the full ExpressCard/54 slot, and FireWire connection (something of a rarity these days). This is a fixed-configuration system, so you're stuck with what it ships with (or what it ships without, in the case of Bluetooth).
The 7805u sticks with the same 2.26GHz Intel Core 2 Duo P8400 CPU from the P-7811, which is a strong performer, especially when combined with 4GB of RAM and a fast 7,200rpm hard drive. In the mainstream category of our Winter 2009 Retail Laptop Review Roundup, the Gateway easily beat out the Asus G50VT, which had a slightly slower Core 2 Duo P7450, but both are fast performers suitable for serious multitasking, video editing, and, of course, gaming.
The high-end Nvidia GeForce 9800 GTS graphics card is this laptop's main selling point. We were able to get 120.8 frames per second in Unreal Tournament 3 at 1,280x800 resolution. Crank it up to the max possible resolution of 1,440x900, and it's still a very playable 101.4 frames per second. In an anecdotal test, we loaded up the most recent PC game in our pile, FEAR 2, and had a smooth gaming experience at 1,440x900, with graphics options set to medium.
Our battery testing, using CNET Labs' video playback battery drain test, gave us 3 hours and 1 minute of battery life, which is very impressive for a desktop replacement. Because desktop replacements spend most of their time tethered to a single location, battery life isn't usually a big factor here.
The system includes an industry-standard, one-year warranty, with parts-and-labor coverage and return-to-depot service. Gateway offers a 24-7, toll-free, technical-support phone line, and the Web site has the usual driver downloads and FAQs, plus options for e-mailing or online chatting with technicians.

Reviewer corrected - my NEW P-7805u: 1900x1200 wuxga
by aprilia1k on April 20, 2009
Pros: 4gb ddr3 (not ddr2 like competitors), 1gb 9800 vid card brilliant. WUXGA 1900x1200 1080P display... 2.26ghz core2 duo... space for extra sata disk INSIDE the case (raid 0 or 1, or just a second disk). COMPETITION COSTS $800-$1000 more at least
Cons: big beautiful 17" screen and a decent footprint compared to the 15.6" asus (e.g.), only 1" longer and 1.5" deeper -- still, it's heavier than the old 15.4 i've carried for a few years... I can deal with it, and it's not the heaviest by any stretch
Summary: The "Pros" above tell it all --- an AMAZING machine for the money. Not just for gaming either. Video and/or Audio production will go amazingly well on this little ...
Summary: The "Pros" above tell it all --- an AMAZING machine for the money. Not just for gaming either. Video and/or Audio production will go amazingly well on this little monster. My primary use will be multitrack studio with plugins and synths, etc... a great machine for this, as well as anything else you want to throw at it... unless you want a mini-netbook - there's no reason not to grab it while you can --- they're going fast I believe

Summary: I'm not sure if this was just a fluke, but I purchased the laptop within the first week it came out, and even though on the web Gateway list the screen resolution as 1440x900, mine actually came with a screen that supports 1920x1200. I've read of several people that bought theirs with the higher screen resolution, so again I'm not sure if this was the case for just the initial batch.

Satisfied COD4 and COD5 Player
by Nathan54AB on March 4, 2009
Pros: - Runs COD4 and COD5 great with effect settings at high and at max resolution of 1440x900.
- I also occasionally play The Sims 2 with all add-on packs. Loading times in it are very speedy.
- Love the HDMI port. Takes care of one of the cons.Cons: - Could stand to have included a faster clocked processor.
- No DVI output - lame VGA. Has HDMI though, which is great.
- Ctrl button on keyboard (important for gaming) is small and right next to the Windows button.Summary: Overall I am very satisfied by this laptop. It surpassed my expectations with very minor cons.

I don't mind the reduced screen resolution. As far as gaming is concerned, I think 1920x1200 on a 17" laptop screen is impractical and only practical on a larger monitor.
It could stand to have come with a faster clocked processor. Gateway should have made an option for that.
Laptop battery extends out the back by about one inch, but I don't mind that. Just got to remember that it's there.
When using my external hookups, I easily forget I'm working with a laptop computer. As far as overall performance is concerned, it feels much like a high class desktop.
The laptop speakers are just that - laptop speakers. Can't expect much from them. I just use headphones. Specifically, Plantronics Gamecom 777, which are outstanding.
I also really like the look of this laptop. Although there's no lights that light up the keyboard, I don't mind that. The very bright (almost too bright) screen helps illuminate the keyboard.
COD4 & COD5 (all effects set on their highest with 1440x900 resolution):
This laptop plays these two games exceptionally well. I play it on an external 22" monitor (I don't mind playing on the laptops 17" screen, but as long as I have a choice I'm gonna hook a bigger monitor up to it) with resolution capability of 1680x1050. I still run it at 1440x900 because it's smoother even though it is still very playable at 1680x1050.
Other Statistical Data:
- Frame rates typically stayed around in the 50s and 60s.
- Frame rates went up to 70s, 80s, and sometimes 90s when complex graphics didn't take over the whole screen.
- Frame rates dropped to 40s and sometimes 30s when complex graphics took up the entire screen, but never drops below 30.
The Sims 2 w/ All Add-on Packs:
Not much to say here. The Sims 2 is a fairly simple game. This game shines more from RAM and CPU power more than it does the graphics card. Strangely, this game seemed noticeably slower on my old desktop computer which had a 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Extreme processor. I totally expected this laptop to run TS2 a little slower, but it's actually a little faster!
Other Statistical Data:
- Took roughly 30 seconds to get through the main loading screen.
- Took roughly 120 seconds to create a new neighborhood.
- Took roughly 20 seconds to load the Pleasantview neighborhood.
- Took roughly 30 seconds to load the Goth family in Pleasantview.
- The Sims 2 has simpler graphics compared to games like COD4 and COD5, so frame rates are no issue here.1 out of 1 users found this user opinion helpful.

Great gaming/graphic intensive notebook for the price
by Jhedin on February 7, 2009
Pros: Excellent graphic handling for a notebook in this price range.
Plays all modern games although not all at the highest levels.
NVIDIA® GeForce® 9800M GTS graphics.
4 G 1066MHz DDR3 RAMCons: Would be nice if it had built-in bluetooth.
Only 3 USB ports which could be a problem for some.
Finger print magnet, but easily removed with a microfiber cloth.Summary: The Gateway FX P-7805u (and it's "twin" the P-7801u) are probably at this writing the best "bang for the buck" notebooks on the market designed for (from Gateway's ...
Summary: The Gateway FX P-7805u (and it's "twin" the P-7801u) are probably at this writing the best "bang for the buck" notebooks on the market designed for (from Gateway's site) "high-end gaming, video editing, graphic design and intensive 3D apps", arguably equaling or bettering other notebook systems costing hundreds (and maybe thousands) of dollars more. In my opinion, any reviews of this system should keep in mind the value at this price point regarding gaming and video intensive applications. The 7805u specs include a 17" High-Definition Widescreen WXGA+ Display (1440 x 900), although some units, particularlly the early ones, came with the display that is on the 7801u, the 17" High-Definition Widescreen WUXGA Display (1920 x 1200), exceeding what is called "true HD". The display appears to be the only difference between the two units, other than the fact that the 7805u appears to be a Best Buy exclusive. From reading feedback from users with either monitor, once adjusted (the "factory" adjustments seem somewhat muted to most) they are very bright and crisp.
I disagree with CNet reviewer Dan Ackerman's statement that this is a "fixed-configuration system", unless he only means that as an ordering option through Gateway. It has a second HD bay where another HD or SSD can be installed. Also, end users or their local PC Service location, can upgrade the CPU or remove the multi-DVD player and replace it with a Blu-ray/multi-DVD unit. Further, some owner's have installed an internal Bluetooth card. The FX P-7801u has the higher resolution WUSGA 1920 x 1200 screen, and a recently introduced P-7807u has the slightly faster Intel Core 2 Duo P8600 2.4GHz. The soon to be released Gateway FX P-7808u reportedly will include an Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 2GHz, 500G HD, and Bluetooth. The FX P-78xx family appears to be getting larger.
The Intel Core2 Duo Processor1 P8400 (2.26GHz, 1066MHz FSB, 3MB L2 Cache) may not be the highest level processor available, but it does get a Vista Experience Index score of 5.2, which is more than Crysis recommends (5.0) as a minimum, so the game is playable thanks to the NVIDIA® GeForce 9800M GTS Graphics with 1GB of GDDR3 Discrete Video Memory at the WUXGA level although not at the highest settings.
The Vista Experience Numbers, right out of the box are:
Processor-5.2
Memory (RAM)-5.9
Graphics-5.9
Gaming Graphics-5.9
Primary HD-5.7
Overall -5.2.
Interestingly, some owners have reported a 5.8 number for their 320GB 7200RPM SATA hard drive, but this doesn't affect the "overall" number. The notebook has room for a second HD and it supports RAID 0. Owners who have added a second, identical 320 HD in the RAID 0 configuration report that they are now getting a 5.9 VIE number for their HD.
Other future expandability by the owner includes replacing the DVD player with a Blu-Ray player and swapping out the CPU for a faster CPU. As of this writing I don't believe it has been confirmed that a Quad Core CPU can be installed in this unit, however it does appear that Gateway may be releasing the FX P-7808u with the Intel Core 2 Quad Q9000 sometime in 2009. Also, it has not been confirmed, but it is believed that the system can also be upgraded to 8G RAM.
I've been using my 7805u for almost a month and really don't have any negatives worth mentioning (other than the "cons", above). I like the look and feel of it and expected a 17" notebook to take up some desk space and be a little heavy (little over 9 pounds), so neither of these are an issue with me. In fact, quite the opposite - the extra "real estate" of the 17" screen running at 1920 x 1200 is great. Yeah, I was fortunate to be one of those folks that got a WUXGA P-7805u.
To Gateway's credit, the system did not come with a lot of "bloatware" and I was able to delete/uninstall the programs I did not want very easily. The notebook comes with Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium (64-bit) with SP1. While the 64-bit version is becoming less problematic, you should insure that all the programs you plan to run on this unit are Vista 64 capable. Not that this is specific to this notebook, but it is something worth noting. I?ve had no problem and the system zips though everything I tried so far.
For a "gamer" who absolutely must have a notebook PC and is on a tight budget, the Gateway P-7805u (and P-7801u) FX Notebook will certainly get them "into the game" and it has enough capability and future expandability to keep them in the game for awhile, in my opinion.

Summary: However this malfunction doesn't occur on all models, 50% of them are ok and never have problems, i have been to bestbuy recently to look at this product and the GeekSquad guy said that he had seen 7 or 8 of the original 10 come back and be exchanged. Said it was a great computer if you could find one that works. The return Policy is 14 days to find the problem and return it or you must deal with Gateway, this problem is very apparent and can be found if you run a video card test for a couple hours.
He suggested finding the P-7801u last years model as it could be tweaked to the DDR3 memory and card.
On a side note i ended up purchasing the HP HDX 18t customizable from www.shopping.hp.com to include the 2.66 Ghz processor, 4GB DDR3 Memory, 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GT 130M, and a 640GB 7200 rpm Hard drive. Using the coupon code from www.deals2buy.com for 30% off this laptop saving me $650 dollars off the final price.1 out of 2 users found this user opinion helpful.

Overall Amazing Laptop (With a few flaws)
by Sanewicked on November 9, 2009
Pros: Great look, functionality, power, and performance
Cons: Volume is excruciatingly difficult to adjust on the laptop. The button to adjust the volume is way too slow to change the volume in a acceptable rate. Battery protrudes form the back of the laptop. Only 3 USB ports
Summary: Powerful and functional laptop, perfect for gamers and those who want a desktop-class CPU with the 'limited' portability of a laptop. It has a few flaws, yet it overcomes them ...

INCREDIBLE value!
by imperialcoins on September 24, 2009
Pros: This is by far the best piece of technology I have ever had the priviledge of owning. I work on telephone systems and networks for a living, so this is saying A LOT. Excellent performance, specs and feel.
Cons: Numbers on keyboard a muted orange color, Gateway updater application did not work and had to find a fix online, but it was quick and painless. Touch pad is slightly off centered, but in a few days you get used to it.
Summary: This is by far the best Gateway product I have ever used. This laptop outperforms even Gateway's high end machines. One plus which is not touted (why would Gateway ...
Summary: This is by far the best Gateway product I have ever used. This laptop outperforms even Gateway's high end machines. One plus which is not touted (why would Gateway not be shouting this from the rooftops?) is that it has a second hard drive bay and supports RAID 0 and 1.

Solid product with more than expected upgrades
by 1422superstar on July 4, 2009
Pros: 1920x1200 on certain batches shipped. Correction to the specs listed in the review, the laptop has 4 gigs of DDR3 (not DDR2). So if you were one of the lucky few who got the bigger resolution, you've found yourself a very affordable and enjoyable toy
Cons: Gateway could have moved up a notch to either the P8700 or even the Q9000 (Which in some cases can be an upgrade or down grade depending on application).
Summary: Overall I feel that for those looking for a nice gaming laptop that can handle most of the games out there today, this laptop is what you've been looking ...
Summary: Overall I feel that for those looking for a nice gaming laptop that can handle most of the games out there today, this laptop is what you've been looking for. With the upgraded RAM from DDR2 to DDR3 and the upgraded video card from 512MB to 1GIG of dedicated graphic memory, this little jewel is worth the buy.
Oh yeah, I forgot to mention that there is a second hard drive bay which allows you to configure a raid. I've added the exact hard drive that came with the laptop WD3200BLK 7200 RPM and configured a raid 0. This option was brilliant on Gateways part.

Wonderful gaming laptop for the money
by dragon_wolf8504 on June 11, 2009
Pros: Awesome graphics card, amount of ram, and fast hard drive, I'm used to the 5400 rpms so this is fast for me. Great huge 17" screen. For my gaming needs this is wonderful!
Cons: Heavy, have to get a new laptop bag as it won't fit into my old laptop bag. Gets really hot after awhile. Make sure to have a cooling pad of somesort to help with heat disapation. No, blu-ray player, but you get what you pay for.
Summary: Wonderful laptop, I love it. Also somehow my resolution goes up to 1920x1200 so i must have gotten a slight variation, even though it's the same model number. Briing ...
