Gateway SX2801-01e review: Gateway SX2801-01e

 

Gateway SX2801-01e

Small size, excellent single-core and multitasking performance; HDMI port makes it into a capable home theater PC; inexpensive.

Dual-core processor outpaced by competition; no wireless networking; no FireWire.

The Gateway SX2801-01e is just one of several new budget slim tower systems available this season. We're impressed by its compact design and the HDMI port makes it easy to use in the living room. For a $520 system, the SX2801-01e's performance and...

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great as a Home Theater PC

 

I purchased this after using an Atom/ION based Acer Revo for home theater. It hit the wall with Silverlight and Netflix HD content. It was unwatchable. Even with only the dual core this machine handles ripping, WMC, and Netflix HD with no troubles at...

Small case and very quiet ; Integral internal CD/DVD drive ; HDMI and Dolby Digital ; Big internal HD

Not a speed demon for gamers ; DVD Open/Close button is hard to use ; A wireless keyboard/mouse or remote control would be nice

Very Pleased

Great value ; Snappy performance ; Handles HD digital cable well ; HDMI and optical audio out work well with my home theater setup ; Small form factor

Dual TV tuner would be nice ; Power button shines a bit bright in a dim room ; No Blu-ray

Gateway SX2801 good specs for the price ”

 

This computer has enough RAM and hard drive space to accomodate most games and graphic processing. The graphics card is decent, and the fact that it comes with windows seven is a plus. It is small and fits into the space underneath my desk with room to...

Good Desktop Computer ”

 

I own this desktop and it's pretty nice. The front has a glossy finish, which could be a fingerprint magnet if you touch it too much. It has so many usb ports. This desktop also have a little flat rectangle on the top for putting anything you want on...
