Reviews of the Gateway DX4200-09
-
CNET Review
The Good: Plenty of room for expansion; large hard drive.
The Bad: Competition offers faster performance and more features.
The Bottom Line: 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.
