We've been getting handful of readers queries per week recently about Gateway's well-known line of budget gaming laptops. The FX system, including the most recent models the P-7805u FX, have always impressed with mid-high-end components, big screens, and-most importantly-low prices. But these models have an unfortunate habit of vanishing from store before next update is ready, leaving PC gamers in lurch.

Fortunately, two new models are within reach (although one isn't really all that new), even if ther're not available for sale yet. Gateway lists both P-7807c FX and P-7809u FX as "available soon," (wich usually means Newegg.com). Note that the P-7807u FX isnt't exactly brand new- it's been available sporadically in some areas, but it looks like Gateway is "Relaunching" it at discounted price.

Both keep same Nvidia GeForce 9800 GPU (which is getting a bit long in the tooth), but the prices are still hard to beat, and these should be fine for all but the most hard-core, frame-rate-obsessed gamers.
