About Gateway P-170L

The Gateway P-170L comes in a dark gray, bubbly, glassy and modern looking plastic chassis. The Gateway P-170L features a few notable extras like HDMI, Bluetooth, and 802.11N Wi-Fi. Its 17-inch wide-screen LCD display offers a 1,440x900 native resolution. Text and icons are readable at either size, and the difference isn't that important outside of gaming and Blu-ray/HD DVD viewing, neither of which user'll be doing with this laptop.

The Gateway P-170L serves up ample value for the money, including a Core 2 Duo processor on Intel's latest mobile platform and adds a dedicated graphics by way of an Nvidia 8400 card and loses the built-in Bluetooth, HDMI, and Webcam. The Gateway laptop touch pad and keyboard are responsive and comfortable. Despite being a fixed-configuration system, Gateway offers plenty of extras on the P-170L. User get Bluetooth and 802.11n Wi-Fi, plus an HDMI output, which is an appreciated--if not terribly useful--touch for a laptop without a next-gen optical drive. Still, swapping HDMI for the archaic S-Video port we still find on most laptops is hopefully a portent of things to come. The user can do multitask at the same time without any problem. With integrated graphics, however, user're not going to be doing much gaming on this system. The Gateway P-170L 17-inch P-170L packs in plenty of extras, including an HDMI port.
