Reviewed on November 12, 2008Velocity Micro's Edge Z55 provides a powerful example of the leap ahead in performance afforded by Intel's new Core i7 CPUs.

Reviewed on August 5, 2010The Gateway SX2801-01e is just one of several new budget slim tower systems available this season. We're impressed by its compact design and the HDMI port makes it easy to use in the living room. For a $520 system, the SX2801-01e's performance and upgradability put it in the same top tier as the Editors' Choice-winning models that came before it, and we recommend it to anyone shopping for a powerful, flexible, cost-effective computer.TAGS:Gateway Inc., Intel Core Microarchitecture, graphics chip, clock speed, Gigabit Ethernet, CPU, Intel, Windows 7, 64-bit, HDTV, video, PC, Microsoft Windows
Reviewed on July 19, 2010We have few reservations about this Gateway DX4840-03e.

If that's all you're looking for, we can recommend this PC with little hesitation.TAGS:Gateway Inc., ASUS, graphics chip, USB port, networking, multimedia, 64-bit, HP
