If you’re a gamer, you know that portability and performance don’t necessarily go together. Sure there have been a few notable efforts in making a mobile gaming platform, but none of them have hit that magic midpoint between price, performance and portability. Gateway wants to change all that with the release of their new P-Series of notebooks. These 10lb monsters packs a massive amount of features normally only found in high-end gaming desktops, and it does it at a price that will not require you to take our a second mortgage!
