    CNET Review

    The Good: Competitive price; configurable.

    The Bad: Inelegant design; below-average performance; no wireless mouse and keyboard option.

    The Bottom Line: The Profile 6SB from Gateway is an all-in-one PC that offers the configurability, manageability, and lower price of a standard desktop. But it sacrifices so much in the way of design, we wonder, why bother?
