Gateway P-170L QS Review - PC Mag
PC Magazine have published a review of the Gateway P-170L QS media-center laptop. 'Although large by any standard, the P-170L QS still isn't as heavy as some of its 17-inch competitors, namely the Dell Inspiron 1720 (8.8 pounds) and the Toshiba Qosmio G45-AV680 (9.9 pounds). The P-170L QS is actually middle-of-the-pack when it comes to weight, so the real battle to stand out is being waged over looks and price. The chassis design uses a process called In-Mold Decoration—similar to what HP has for its Pavilion laptops—in which decorative art can be molded underneath a smooth, glossy finish. The end result is a more mainstream appeal in contrast to the boring government-targeted designs seen on the Gateway M685-E. This refreshing new look can also be found on the Gateway M-150X, a 15.4-inch version of the P-170L QS.'
