Has this item been continually out of stock. Many of the reviews note that it is backordered in August. Have new shipments of this product come in or am I at the bottom of a 3 month waiting list? Gateway P-7811FXSKU: 8892825

it's a pretty good gaming machine for that price. they have it online right now. you probably will be able to find it cheaper in your nearby best buy. sometimes clearance produce drops like crazy.

It is disappointing that Gateway has gone away from online/phone orders. I have been looking for a new laptop for my next deployment to the middle east and am torn between the p-7811fx and the ASUS m70sa-x2. While the ASUS is a little more expensive at least I can find a place to purchase it. Gateway doesn't even have the 7811fx on it's web page anymore. I would have prefered the cow laptop but time is short. Here's to hoping that demand will dictate supply.

Hey empede,

According to available information, Best Buy® stopped carrying this specific model as of October 12th.  While some units may still be available through select stores and BestBuy.com, we do not currently expect to receive any additional shipments once they have been sold.

Thanks for asking!

Thanks for the information but that makes it all the more frustrating. Why can't best buy just tell me that so I can place another order instead of this constant backorder status.

Triple frustration because the order status changed from backorder to shipping and then back to backorder and no one at customer support knows anything about it or why it happened.

yah the reason why that happen is because one day they're sold out, another day they got more in in the warehouse, and then again they got sold out again. it is a pretty good laptop at a pretty good price. if you order already then u can cancel it and might as well go find another computer. or do a in-store pick up at the nearest best buy possible.
