5.0 out of 5 stars Best buy for a bound budget., November 1, 2009

By	Randle Kregh "Regular Techie" (CT, USA) - See all my reviews

I have the heftier model, 6 GB RAM; Dual-Core; 1TB HDD; running Windows 7 Home Premium. This computer and OS were made for each other. If you are excited about the release of Windows OS 7 as much as I was, you are going to want this machine or extremely similar.

I knew what I wanted, and all I needed was the tower. I looked all over the net for something as reliable as eMachine (my previous one lasted an incredible 5 years and still took a beating with heavy loads all the while running fast). I couldn't find a suitable eMachine running Win7, but knowing that Gateway builds those and Compaqs, I decided to spend the extra cash for this system.

Setting aside aesthetics with its awesome placement of the power button, USBs and Digital Card readers; black glossy finish with chrome accents; uniquely designed keyboard and optical mouse, this computer runs fast and stays quiet. Start up time seems to decrease with every reboot, peripherals plug and play instantly, HD video and audio output make this perfect for anyone connecting this your HDTV (up until now I had yet to fully utilize my HDTV for what I bought it for almost 3 years ago), and did I mention it looks pretty sitting next my desk?

I don't have a million bucks to buy top of the line stuff, but this system sure puts me up there with and above the fat cats who spent 4 times as much as I did. Kind of makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

3.0 out of 5 stars Gateway Gateway DX4822-01 Black Desktop PC (Windows 7 Home Premium), November 27, 2009

Amazon Verified Purchase

Bought this computer specifically to take advantage of price and power offered. The intention was to upgrade it with a larger power supply and add an additional optical and hard drive for backup. Having saved several IDE products with which to do this, I was very surprised to find that there is virtually no expandability for anything other than SATA products. No IDE plugs on the motherboard and insufficient power supply connectors even if there were motherboard accommodations. Nice if you want to buy all new equipment, but then you would go first class and build from scratch. I suppose a five hundred dollar computer has to trim features somewhere but this seems a bit much.....I will say the machine operates as advertised but I'm disappointed nonetheless.
