Gateway updates bevy of laptops / desktops in one fell swoop


Merely months after Gateway thrilled your soul with the introduction of all sorts of new desktops, the outfit has apparently received the upgrade bug. Starting right now, the 17-inch P-Series, 15.4-inch M-Series and 14.1-inch T-series laptops can be ordered with Intel's latest Core 2 Duo chips, more spacious hard drives and dual-layer DVD writers. For those eying a tower, the FX Series, DX Series and GT Series now provide (up to) a Core 2 Quad Q9300 CPU, 6GB of RAM, an overclocked NVIDIA GeForce 9800GT and price tags starting as low as $549.99. For more on these absolutely riveting upgrades, hit the read link and try not to fall out of your seat.

Fujitsu's LifeBook P8010 chills out at the FCC


Yeah, Fujitsu's P8010 is slated to ship next month, and we've already played around with one at CES this month, but there's nothing that adds confidence like a last minute stop at the FCC. According to the posted user's manual, you can expect a 12.1-inch WXGA display, up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, an 80GB SATA hard drive, Intel's SL7100 VL processor, a GMA GS965 integrated graphics set, audio in / out, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi and optional Bluetooth. Furthermore, you'll find PC Card / SD slots, VGA out, a trio of USB 2.0 connectors, 4-pin FireWire, a 56k modem, docking port and an optional 1.3-megapixel camera. Sure enough, documentation asserts that this bugger only weighs 2.69-pounds with a battery installed, which makes us even antsier for its eventual release.

Hands-on with Fujitsu's P8010 laptop


Fujitsu's forthcoming P8010 may not be ready to arrive at your doorstep, but that didn't stop the outfit from bringing one along to CES. Granted, this one here is actually a pre-production unit, but we learned that the final version isn't likely to change before it ships en masse to US customers in just a few weeks. Hit up the gallery below to see this lappie from all sorts of angles.

Gateway rolls out P-series laptops, GT-series desktop

While it likely won't do much to appease those who missed out on the ever-so-shortly-available $300 Gateway laptop, the company has just announced a couple of new entries in its slightly higher-end P-series laptop line, which each manage to stay under the $1,000 mark. Those include the $800 P-6801 model, which sports a 1.46GHz Pentium dual-core processor and a 160GB hard drive, and the $950 P-6822, which ups things to a 1.5GHz Core 2 Duo processor, a 250GB hard drive, and a built-in 1.3 megapixel webcam. Both models also pack the same 17-inch 1440 x 900 display, along with the usual Intel X3100 graphics. On the desktop front, Gateway has let loose its new GT5628 model, which is based around Intel's G33 chipset and packs a speedy 2.4GHz Core 2 Quad processor, along with GeForce 8500 GT graphics, 3GB of RAM, and a spacious 500GB hard drive. Look for it to set you back $950 when it lands October 14th, which is the same day the laptops are set to be released.

Toshiba announces 1GB P10K and 2GB P20K Gigabeats


If you thought Toshiba was only involved in one DAP launch this week, think again, because ol' Tosh has also decided to revitalize its Gigabeat P-series with the P10K and P20K. Last time we heard from this flash-based line was when the 512MB / 1GB P5L got a multi-colored premium edition, and the pink variety must have been especially popular, as that and white were the two colors chosen for the 1GB P10; white is your only choice for the 2GB P20, but both models can change it up with removable faceplates. Besides the capacity bump over the P5L and P10L, these new P's retain all of their predecessors' features: a 1.1-inch color OLED, MP3 / WMA / WAV / PlaysForSure support, line in / voice / FM recording, and a 14-hour rechargeable battery. Scheduled for release in early December, the P20 is listed at 17,980 Yen ($153), while the smaller P10 will be priced around 13,980 Yen ($119).
