The Gateway seems to be Penryn compatible so you can upgrade in the future if necessary

learn something new every day. I thought notebook procs fell in the same non-upgradeable category as video cards.

i read what the link had to say and it says the screen is 1280x800. so is the gateway (for $1350) that Zap recommended. is it common for 17" gaming laptops to come standard with such a low resolution or is it just for the cheaper ones? i figured they'd come with 1680x1050, at least. was my assumption wrong?
