Reviews of the Gateway Profile 6 SBb (Pentium 4 3 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 80 GB HDD)

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?
