Packing a laptop with a full-sized keyboard, screen bigger than many use with their desktop and the sort of specs that gobble through even the most capacious of batteries has always struck me as cheating a little. Call me old fashioned, but I do like my notebook to be portable and my desktop to be sturdy; Gateway, however, weren’t willing to stop at just calling me names. They sent over their 17-inch P-6831FX, resplendent with orange pinstripes and dedicated NVIDIA GeForce graphics, to show that just because a laptop is large, it doesn’t mean it can’t be agile too.



Best Buy, notoriously one of the worst companies as far as handling data and hardware, is at it again. This time they didn’t steal the porn off of the notebook, they just lost it, the whole notebook, gone. So I, like Ms. Campbell, am curious as to how a company like Best Buy can just lose a laptop from a “Secure” area?
