Gateway SX2840-01 and the HP Pavilion Slimline s5310y

 

If you're in the market for a budget desktop, you might want to consider the Gateway SX2840-01 and the HP Pavilion Slimline s5310y. Both deliver decent performance and, in the case of Gateway, surprising versatility; unfortunately, they also come with...

The SX2840-01 also comes with a healthy 6 GB of DDR3 SDRAM to aid with multitasking. A huge 1 TB hard drive is on board to provide what should be more than ample storage space for most people. Graphics are supported by an Intel Graphics Media...

Lemon!! DO NOT BUY!

 

I'm forced to give at least 1 star, otherwise a zero is more appropriate. Machine worked great for about 9 months, then it completely crashed. Gateway fixed it under warranty (at my expense to ship it), only to have it break about 3 hours after it was...

Do not, do not, do NOT purchase from this Godawful company!

 

I have had two relatively minor problems with my PC in the several months I have owned it, one relating to wireless capability and the other to the PC's interface with my monitor. Gateway's "customer support" is frustrating beyond belief. To sum it up,...

I Chose this computer after a lot of research and am still happy months later.

 

I've owned a lot of Gateway computers over the years and am happy to report that their quality is still just as good as it was the first time I bought from them in the mid '90's. It is smaller than any other desktop system I've ever owned while still...

Great little powerhouse

 

Purchased this Gateway to replace an aging Pentium 4 Dell for my wife, who said her computer was too slow to do anything on. This Gateway was setup quickly right out of the box and I couldn't believe how snappy and responsive the computer was....

So far so good

 

This computer after reading the reviews and purchasing it, does what it says. I do not have a single complaint after owning it for a month. I did not have an issue with the DVD eject button.

Don't give a dose to the one you love most!

 

Product was physically defective upon receipt ... returned immediately. Amazon issued credit within a week. That's why I make my internet purchases thru Amazon!

Very Pleased

 

My Dell computer was 7 years old and sooo slow. I researched a lot of new computers and finally decided on the Gateway SX2840. It has been a dream so far. I have given it 4 stars only because I haven't had it long enough to see if there are any...

I love this machine.

 

I finally got rid of this big desktop that I previously owned for the past 8 years. I'm not a computer geek, but I just wanted a machine that worked fast, gave me lots of USB ports, and allowed me to play video games/surf web/run many windowsl Not...

Consumer review by:

Very Disappointed.

 

I purchased this as a gift for my husband for fathers day. It arrived in plenty of time, was boxed just fine. But we could not get it to start up. It would say"starting windows" and shut down. I tried everything even safe mode. We have had several...
