Hey, remember that Gateway P-172X FX we got our hands on yesterday? Well, now the gaming powerhouse has gone official, and is joined by a smaller, slightly less sporty edition — the $999.99 M-6850FX. The 15.4-inch laptop features a Core 2 Duo T5550 CPU, an ATI Radeon HD 2600 graphics chipset, 3GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, and a DVD-R / RW / DVD-RAM optical drive. Two other mid-level models are being introduced as well; the $849.99 M-1626, and $749.99 T-1628. The former comes equipped with a 15.4-inch display, an AMD Turion TL-60 CPU, ATI Radeon HD x1270 graphics, 4GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, 802.11g, and HDMI. The latter downsizes to a 14.1-inch display, keeps the AMD CPU and ATI graphics chipset, plus 3GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and the aforementioned wireless and HDMI support. The company is also introducing a new pen-based configuration, the C-142XL ($1,299.99), which sports a Core 2 Duo T8300 CPU, ATI Radeon X2300 HD GPU, 3GB of RAM, a 250GB hard drive, and utilizes a Wacom pen for input. That enough data for you? We thought so.

It hasn’t even been a year since Gateway dropped the M-series laptop on us, but with all the other kids getting fancy new Penryn shoes, it’s time for an upgrade — say ‘allo to the M-151X and M-151XL. Only the XL gets the fancy new 2.4GHz T8300 Core 2 Duo, actually — poor X here is still wearing last year’s 65nm 1.66GHz T5450 fashions. Both feature a 15-inch glossy screen, though, as well as 256MB ATI Radeon HD 2400 XT graphics with HDMI out, a 1.3 megapixel webcam, fingerprint reader, 5-in-1 memory card reader, slot-loading dual-layer burner, 250GB drive, and Vista Home Premium. Not a bad little package, especially for the price: the X will set you back a cool grand, while the XL runs $1,299.

The Gateway 820GM Media Center PC is quite a good deal for a computer with its capabilities. Its notable feature is its quiet and virtually soundless operation that would be an added bonus if you relish a bit more peace and quiet. The Gateway 820GM Media Center PC also comes with a wonderful array of functions and features that one would look for in a Media PC.

It 820GM comes equipped with a 3 GHz Pentium 4 530 processor with 1GB of RAM. Its media features make it an attractive PC to have for its price range. The 820GM can also be bought with a dual-format DVD Burner along with its primary DVD ROM drive. The 820 GM also comes with a 250 GB hard drive and a 128 MB ATI Radeon X300SE graphics card.

One of the drawback 820GM Media Center PC is its bulky tower case. The Mini-tower design of the PC, which also houses the super silent cooling fans of the CPU, may not suit well for people who look to save some bit of space. But for those people who might not consider style and size for choosing a media PC, then the 820GM would do just fine and more.
