Gateway SX2850-01 Desktop Review (Intel Core I3, 1TB)

I have been a fan of Gateway's SX series for a long time now thanks to their excellent price-to-feature ratio and they always give great value for every penny spent. The Gateway SX2850-01 is another great desktop model from this series where it packs in some of the latest and most powerful specs possible for its price range.

The Gateway SX2850-01 comes with an Intel Core i3-540 (3.06Ghz), 4GB of DDR3 RAM (maximum 8GB) and a gigantic 1TB hard drive. This set of specs will prove to be more than enough for the average desktop user, whether you plan to use it for serious work or play. This model also comes with an Intel HD graphics card. Coupled with the Clear Video HD technology, it is perfect for playing HD content, gaming and graphic work. It also supports HD audio (5.1 channel).

The desktop runs on Windows 7 Home Premium and it also includes features like a 16x DVD drive, 802.11b/g/n wi-fi, 11 USB ports and a HDMI output. Plug in a HDTV and a good set of speakers and you will have yourself a mini home entertainment unit. The Gateway SX2850-01 is also a pretty good looker. It is a tower style desktop, with a sleek glossy front and a relatively compact size. It measures at 10.43 x 3.93 x 12.4 inches in dimensions. Overall, I like its subtle and quiet design.

All in all, the Gateway SX2850-01 is the ideal desktop model for anyone who is looking for a reasonably priced, stylish and powerful PC for the home or office. Thanks to its set of powerful specs, you will be using this desktop for many years to come without worrying about it going obsolete. At the moment, this model is retailing at around $549 per set.
