Reviewed on November 8, 2007Voodoo's Envy M:152 is one of the only 15-inch gaming laptops out there, but we wish its high-end fit and finish was matched by better gaming scores.

Reviewed on November 1, 2006It's rare that you see a performance-leading PC come in below $4,000, but Gateway's FX530XT has pulled it off. Complete with an Intel Core 2 Extreme QX6700 quad-core CPU and a pair of ATI's highest-end 3D cards, this cutting-edge desktop won't make gamers and digital designers dig quite as deep to get their hands on it.TAGS:Gateway Inc., overclocking, Cyberpower, ATI Technologies, video card, gamer, CPU, Intel, PC, hard drive
