Gateway DX4822-01 review: Gateway DX4822-01

Gateway DX4822-01

Unique case accommodates external hard drives and a media card reader; large hard drive; a lot of room for expansion; wide variety of connections.

Competing PCs offer faster performance but fewer features; poor power efficiency.

The Gateway DX-4822-01 makes a convincing pitch with the performance numbers and features to earn its place in your home, but if you're not tied to the midtower design, the older Gateway SX2800-01 offers faster speeds and the option to set it up as a...

Gateway DX4822-01 and Gateway One ZX4800-02

Today we look at a pair of Gateway desktop computers: the Gateway DX4822-01 and the Gateway one ZX4800-02. These attractive desktops come with some nice features and shouldn't break your budget.

Luckily, there is plenty of expansion room in the Gateway DX4822-01 for you to upgrade its components if you need to. You can add an extra hard drive if the 1TB drive is not enough. You can also add another optical drive in addition to the included DVD...

junk

I am buying a Dell.

Big hard drive, 1 tb

No case fan. I wish I would have seen these other reviews before I used mine for so long. I put it in an enclosed desk compartment & it got so hot that everything went wrong with it. You could cook an egg in there ; Processor died ; Video card died ;...

Not bad

Like the other reviewer said, it's probably a good idea to buy a case fan for this baby. There not to expensive and easy to install. Windows 7 runs great so far - it's like the genetically engineered version of Vista. If this thing went on sale $50 or...

Great processor, a s load of memory, a lot of video memory. TV Tuner and Wireless card are great ad ons, saved you about 75 in aftermarket parts. Not too much bloatware - only had to uninstall a few programs (Nero, Norton, Windows Live - stuff the...

The wireless card didn't work at first. You have to go into the case and remove and reinsert the card... Kind of weird but my system recognizes it now. After I started my computer up after doing this I got the blue screen of death, but everything seems...

Addition

If you look at the pictures on this site, you'll notice that the video card does have a fan on it, but it does not vent properly. The fan points straight down at the TV Tuner, and there is no way to rearrange the cards to let this vent. This will cause...

You might want to know

This computer will do nearly everything you need, is pretty cheap, and looks stylish. The two biggest issues I've had are as follows: 1) the fan. Fans are cheap, so it's no big deal. Make sure to order a box fan when you order this, they are less than...

Incredibly fast, gigantic hard drive, excessive RAM, and sleek case design

It runs very very hot. Why? There is no box fan included. I spoke to Gateway Tech Support, and there is not supposed to be a box fan, only a CPU fan and a power supply fan ; The wireless card didn't work at first, but I just had to re insert it into...

Why Did I Wait So Long! ”

When my techie son-in-law recommended this computer to replace my old Dell, I questionned both the brand and the price. With so many options out there priced over $1,000, how could this one meet my needs? Well, let me assure you it's exceeded my...
