Gateway NV73A09u
$800.00
Released June, 2010
The Pros:1600 x 900 display resolution - most laptops at this price point top out at 1366 x 768. Stays fairly cool, even when not rebooted for days. Decent enough dedicated graphics to handle the majority of modern games on moderate settings.
The Cons:Kind of bulky and heavy - not the most portable laptop even for a 17.3"er. Battery life is pretty limited - 3 hours maximum.
