Gateway DX4831-05
$800.00
Released January, 2010
The Pros:Nice looking case, impressive enough for younger users. Very fast response, everything launches and runs quickly. Very quiet operation, only has a few small fants.
The Cons:Button to open the optical drive seems flimsy. No case fan installed, which limits venting. HDMI will only work on TVs that use HDCP, older TVs won't work.
The DX4831-05 is a higher-end consumer desktop from Gateway. The system is built around an overclocked quad-core processor, part of the Intel Core i5 line, running at 3.46 GHz. It features 8 GB of DDR3 RAM and a 1TB storage capacity but lacks the Blu-ray drive available in the DX4831-03.
