mathers3000,
I can see that you are upset with how you’ve been treated. However, it sounds as if you have a Gateway Professional laptop or desktop. — If Acer refered you to MPC, that means you have a product that ISN’T THEIRS.
They didn’t make it. They didn’t sell it. They’re not responsible for it. I know that it SOUNDS like they’re the same, but this is like blaming Toyoya for the problems with your Ford.
I respect your opinion… I just have a different one.

Peace,

Acer customer service is the worst I’ve ever worked with. They deliberately lie and give out MPC’s number knowing fully well that the company no longer exists.
All I read about them is they have horrible service and play run around games with people. Not to mention the lawsuits against them.
They are #2 cause they sell cheap inferior products
mathers3000,
Perhaps you shed more light on the subject…
Gateway was split into two parts in 2007. Acer bought the consumer division and MPC bought the professional unit. (The one that serves schools, businesses, government, etc.)
MPC has filed for bankruptcy. As far as I know, Acer is still the #2 computer company in the world.

Gateway has gone under and no longer support their warrenty. Do NOT buy!
Please reseach this company and don’t get screwed over.
yes
wat graphic card does gateway p-7811fx have?
a notebook is a laptop right?
if you want the 7805u, which is slightly better (1gb ram for gpu and 320gb hd), then take a look at the best buy ads every week. I saw the model on sale for 1049 a few weeks ago, which is an amazing deal. Keep your eyes peeled, youll make a mistake not buying a laptop on sale. I got the 7811fx on sale for 1249 at best buy, just wait for a laptop sale.
hi i am trying to decide between a 7805 from best buy with a grand total of $1300 and a 7811 from ebay with a grand total of $950 they are exactly the same in specs but the 7805 has a wxga and 1 gig of ddr3 video memory and the 7811 has a wuxga with a 515mb video memory so my questions are what is the better buy? and what is best for gaming? and if i do get the 7811 i will upgrade the cpu
hi gadgetts , im thinking about selling my desktop and get this laptop as a replacement.
but im from the UK and cant find it anywhere , so do you know if bestbuy delivers to the UK?
inflames625,
Many thanks… I corrected the typo. Thanks for catching it!

Peace,
Fr. Robert
you have made my decision for me! IM BUYING THIS COMP! …buuuut your info pane for this video has a slight typo that scared me a but…the RPM you has written down is slightly wrong being “2700rpm” when it should be “7200rpm” : )
What is your take on buying a refurbished ones versus brand new ones. I see a substantial savings of up to $400 on the refurbished ones. Do you know if the T-series can run Microsoft FSX without any problems? Thanks Father Robert.
picfyc,
This is a great laptop for a college student IF you don’t plan on bringing it around to class. It’s too heavy for that.
It’s incredibly powerful, but remember that it’s a “desktop replacement and not really a laptop. — If you want a really portable laptop with a great battery life, check out the T-Series from Gateway. We reviewed that too!

Peace,
Fr. Robert

P.S. Thanks for the compliment!
quixgofar,
Thanks for the input.
Is this a good laptop for a college student? I would like a reliable notebook for lots of writing and web searching. I also want to be able to run Microsoft FSX. My other concern is that Gateway no longer has this unit on the website. Does anyone know if they stopped making them?
By the way, this review is better than CNET’s.
After a painful search for this laptop, I finally found one on Ebay….. Love it so far!! Thanx for the critique. Keep up the good work… Feelin sorry for those who don’t have this device.
P.S. I spent 7wks in Best Buy limbo trying to purchase this thing. Don’t buy a refurb. If there’s a new untouched laptop out there, just bite the bullet and buy it. Paid 1450 for mine.
Yes, it has better stats, this video is a little older, i have the 7801u and run wow maxed out 50+ fps and i can play crysis maxed with like 18fps and with shaders off i get like 26. Good laptop
I found the same deal on ebay. 1100 and it is refurbished. Is this a good deal? save about $300
yeah i was wondering the same thing. I looked on the gateway site and the lap top shown on this video is not list anywhere on there under the P series tab. I did however see P-7801u there. Does anyone know if this lap top can run Microsoft flight simulator? Thankyou.
lol in the beginning it sounds like u said
“are u cravin some moble gay men”
Hello Father,
Could you tell me if the Gateway P-7801u is of the same quality as the P-7811FX?
Thank you in advance.
