Gateway SX 2801-11e Desktop



This week we will be discussing the Gateway SX 2801-11e desktop. Gateway has been building and selling computers for awhile. It’s no surprise that they have designed this new desktop system with price in mind. The SX 20801-11e starts out at $499. It comes with a duel-core processor, which means using multiple programs at once is easier, Windows 7, 6GB RAM, and a 640GB hard drive. Like our other desktop systems, this Gateway does not come with a monitor or speakers. But compared to our other desktop systems, you get more for your money with the Gateway SX 2801-11e.


Check back later this week as we compare the Gateway desktop to other desktops. Until next time, happy teching!

Dell XPS 7100 Desktop

Over the next few weeks, we will be discussing desktop computer systems. These are the computer systems where monitors, keyboards, and the mouse are separate. Desktop systems are also most popular among businesses and moderate computer users. We will be discussing economical desktop systems that pack a punch.

This week, we will be discussing the Dell Studio XPS 7100 Desktop. To start off, the price of this desktop is fairly cheap. The Studio XPS 7100 starts at $499. But do not mistake its low-end price for low-end manufacturing. This desktop comes with Windows 7 Home Premium (Microsoft’s current operating system), a great AMD graphics card, 3GB RAM, and a 500GB hard drive. All this will keep you up and running for a while. You can store you pictures on this computer, play games, and store files with ease. Again, we are discussing economical desktops. When purchasing a computer system of any kind, you can go to the manufacturer’s website (www.Dell.com in our case) and customize the system to fit your needs. Keep in mind the monitor and speakers are sold separately. In saying that, monitors are becoming cheaper, around $100, and you can get a good set of speakers for $20.

Be sure to check back at the end of the week for an overview of this system and how it compares to other desktop systems.
