Gateway FX P-7805u Intel Core Duo

by dpat123 Jun 2, 2009 5:54AM PDT

Hello

I'm thinking of buying a laptop, and the one i looked into was the Gateway FX P-7805u Intel Core duo model. I can't seem to find this laptop anymore. I called around, and all the stores only carry the the intel centrino edition. When did gateway decide to switch and why? If i get the Intel Centrino will it be equivalent to the Intel duo gaming wise. I just want to know if i should go ahead and buy the centrino since its being offered in retail. I also cant fine the Intel Duo online.

Thx

Does it have the P8400 Intel CPU?

What I encounter are advertising goofs, blunders and misprints. Try this -> Get the Intel model number of the CPU and look that up.

The p-7805u is a Best Buy exclusive. And yes, that's the right one.

No one else seems to hsve the other 2 at the moment.
