It boasts a bright widescreen display that\u2019s great for multitasking and watching DVDs, a four-in-one memory card reader for uploading pictures from your digital camera in a flash, and solid wireless performance. It\u2019s all wrapped up in a 6.1-pound package that\u2019s light enough to take on the road.<\/p>\n<p>The 1.6-GHz Pentium M 725 processor inside the M360X served up strong performance, earning a respectable score of 176 in our MobileMark test. The 4,200-rpm hard disk\u2019s 60GB capacity served our needs well, but may be too slow for those looking to run more memory-intensive programs. In our testing, the M360X ran Word, Excel, Outlook, and PowerPoint without any noticeable pauses. With 512MB of RAM, we were able to run several applications simultaneously.<\/p>\n<p>The system\u2019s 15.4-inch widescreen is clear and bright; this is one display that won\u2019t cause eyestrain when viewing it for extended periods. Its WXGA resolution of 1280 x 800 pixels is great for running two applications like Word and Excel side by side. Watching DVDs proved enjoyable. The widescreen resolution matched the letterbox Spider-Man 2 perfectly. The flick loaded quickly and played smoothly in its true format.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Laptop Mag &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/laptopmag.com\/Review\/Gateway-M360X.htm\">Gateway M360X Laptop review<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Gateway M360 Review Laptop Magazine has a review on the Gateway M360X, and the only points they have against it are that it has a horrible battery life, and a slow hard drive, which are both normal for laptops that have the features and price balance that this machine has.
