Gateway NX570X Dual Core Laptop

The Gateway NX570X is an entry-level budget workhorse laptop with a price starting at only $699 which, however, provides adequate value for its money. It has a solid build thanks to the scratch-resistant surface and brushed-aluminum inlay.

The laptop comes with a newer Inter Core 2 Duo processor 15.4-inch and a wide screen display (1280×800 pixels) that can be upgraded to a 1400×1050 one $100 that will allow you to fit more applications and widgets on your desktop.

Besides the screen, it is also possible to configure other hardware, such as CPU (a 2.0GHz Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 or Core Duo T2050), RAM (you can add up to 4 GB) and HDD (80, 100 or 200GB). It is not possible to replace the low-end integrated Intel 945GM GPU though, so you won’t be able to play many of the 3D games. The Gateway NX570X also has a FireWire port, built-in Bluetooth, Gigabit Ethernet and 802.11a/b/g wifi.
