Quick review of Gateway NX860XL

The Gateway NX860XL is a desktop replacement powerhouse that delivers excellent performance and a gorgeous 17-inch widescreen. It lacks some of the higher-end A/V features of competing HP Pavilion and Toshiba Qosmio models but offers smooth multitasking and good gaming performance for a reasonable price.
