Gateway has just released a 17 inch laptop with the new core i3 processor inside. The laptop comes with everything standard today in a mid range laptop including a light weight of 7.4 pounds, 6 cell battery, 16×9 aspect ratio, 500GB 5400RPM hard drive, integrated graphics, but the real new feature to talk about is the 2.13Ghz core i3 processor. All of this comes in at just the low price of $580 at Best Buy.

The new core i3 processor is part of Intel’s new top of the line 32 nanometer processor lineup with the likes of the Intel core i5 and i7. Even though the core i3 has a clock speed of only 2.13ghz, the core i3’s new architecture makes it able to keep up with similar processors with much higher clock speeds like the Intel core 2 DUO T9500 with a clock speed of 2.66GHz.

If you are looking to buy a new laptop soon for a good price then you might want to consider the Gateway NV7915u. It is currently one of the cheapest laptops that offers a core i3 processor and it has received high marks from websites such as CNET who gave it their “Editors Choice Award.” The Gateway NV7915u is an impressive desktop replacement that comes with all the features you expect from a high end laptop, but at a budget price.
