That's wonderful that your macbook has the same resolution...it doesn't have the same internal specs though, and it is meant for mainstream usage. This is a 17" notebook that is typically targeted as more of a desktop replacement, or for gaming.

With regard to the touchpad being centered, if you'd pay a little bit of attention you'd notice that with the 17" screen there is also a full numeric keypad to the right. If the trackpad were centered to the full laptop it would not be in a convenient place while you're doing 98% of your typing.

Try pretending for a second that just because someone doesn't do design work at Apple, that doesn't mean their ideas are wrong. ]]>Jan 7th 2008 3:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/Jan 7th 2008 3:38AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/Jan 7th 2008 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/Jan 7th 2008 3:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/Jan 7th 2008 7:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/Jan 7th 2008 7:10PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/Jan 7th 2008 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/Jan 7th 2008 5:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/http://www.engadget.com/2008/01/07/gateways-new-p-170-fx-series-of-17-inch-laptops/Jan 7th 2008 6:07AM
