Gateway DX4800-05e

With the way that hardware keeps upgrading in this current market, I find more and more people are looking to buy pre-built PCs. Many times you can find a better deal than when you build. Unless you really want to build a beast of a machine with nothing but standard components. Then you should definitely build, but just think of how short a time it will be before what you have isn’t standard anymore.

For those looking to get a system with some good horsepower at a great price, this deal on NewEgg is great. It’s a Gateway DX4800, and it has these specs.

Processor - Intel Pentium dual-core E5200(2.50GHz)

Memory - 6GB DDR2

Hard Drive - 640GB SATA 7200RPM

Video Card - Integrated NVIDIA GeForce 9200

The Good: This is one of the most powerful PCs that you’ll find in this price range. Ordering from NewEgg is the real deal breaker. 6GB of memory, and a GeForce 9200 for $400? That’s a steal. The PC seems to integrate well with Vista, many of the problems you hear about the OS will be obsolete with this PC.

The Bad: Gateway can at times provide questionable customer service. Some odd accessory inclusions, a unique keyboard you’ll either love or hate. As with all pre-packaged PCs, there’s a lot of unnecessary software included on the system.

Bottom Line: Honestly there’s not much wrong I can say about this PC for the price it sells for. You’re not going to find a better deal for this kind of PC anywhere else. Just be sure you know that you’ll have a lot of crap software pre-installed, and have fun dealing with Gateway if something goes wrong.
