Gateway DX4200-09

Plenty of room for expansion ; large hard drive

Competition offers faster performance and more features

While the Gateway might appeal to users who value storage over speed, you can find more features in PCs that cost just a little less, and more performance for just a little more. That leaves this Gateway with little to recommend it.

The DX4200-09 is another one of Gateway's midrange PCs built for light to moderate users in mind. The chassis of the Gateway DX4200-09 recalls the DX4200-UB001A that we reviewed last year. Gateway DX4200-09HP Pavilion a6700yPrice$510$ 560CPU1.8GHz...

Gateway DX4200-UB001A

Award: Editor's Choice!

Best overall system in its price range ; 64-bit Windows Vista aids memory efficiency ; largest hard drive at this price

More RAM than is immediately worthwhile

We can forgive Gateway for cramming the DX4200 with more memory than it needs simply because its specs and overall performance are the best in its price class. Of the various do-it-all lower midrange PCs out there, this one gets our nod.

Gateway DX4200-UB001A

By Rich Brown

We didn't love Gateway's new FX4710 performance desktop because it sacrificed extra features (say, a faster 3D card?) for the sake of plumping its memory specs. We felt the same trepidation with the $750 DX4200, but the fact is that this desktop is ...

Gateway DX4200-11

By David Murphy

The $599 (as of 8/23/09) Gateway DX4200-11 seems like the perfect value PC for anyone on a tight budget. It's a decently powerful general-purpose PC that offers solid connectivity and upgradability compared with a number of other systems at or below ...

Lots of storage and memory ; Good upgradability

Subpar general performance ; Unplayable graphics for gaming

As far as value PCs priced about $600 go, the Gateway DX4200-11 is close to ideal, but not quite there

Billed as a system that's supposed to "take your multimedia for a high-powered, blazing-fast spin," the DX4200-11 has a 2.2GHz AMD Phenom X4 9550 processor that offers little in the way of superfast performance. The DX4200-11's integrated ATI...
