Gateway M675XL

Bright 17-inch wide screen. Plenty of connectivity options. Good graphics chipset.

Weak speakers (even by portable standards). Poor battery life.

The Gateway M675XL does have a cool screen and fine feature set, but it doesn't distinguish itself from the pack—and costs the same as others that do.

The Gateway M675XL would surely thrill video enthusiasts and anyone who needs to spread out multiple documents. However, the HP Pavilion Zd7000 has better sound and costs almost $600 less.
