What's great about it: LOTS OF USB PORTS.. second gen I3
What's not so great: cant think of anything
So i bought this computer to use a a second desktop with dual 20'' monitors. I would normally build a computer as my primary desktop is completely custom with water cooling etc.. but i cant bulid a computer with the features you get.. i picked this up.. the second gen I3 processor is nothing to laugh at by any means. I slappd an AMD HD6770 in it for little money and it even games very good. plays MW3 on high settings D3 on high settings.. I am absolutely blown away by all the usb ports and even the sata connectors inside the box has plenty of room for extra hard drives. Also i didnt have to re-install windows as there was no bloat ware pre installed.
This product is... Easy to set up and is lightning fast

What's great about it: USBs in the correct place (FRONT).
What's not so great: OS Win7Home is incompatible with many HP printer drivers. There are certain MS updates you have to avoid.
Good general performer. Boot to use in 2:00; wake up from sleep 00:20.
My version has 6Gb as I do some HD video editing, it is adequate.
For the $$s, a good value.

What's great about it: Snappy performance, Clean look, Hard drive size
What's not so great: No dedicated graphics card
I was going to buy parts and build a pc similar in design to this one to replace a 2008 iMac that suffered hard drive failure, then I was browsing the bestbuy website and saw this steal.
It runs quick and clean.
Browsing the web and basic applications are lag-less.
4 people use this computer in our family so the 1TB hard drive space provides plenty for each member.
This PC actually has MORE RAM than needed to get the job done.
Sits clean and looks clean. Comes with a good keyboard but I would recommend a more ergonomic mouse. Runs fast for what it's used for.

What's great about it: speed, wifi, LOTs of USB ports
What's not so great: Gateway technical support
I had an old Dell I was replacing for home, which I use for personal use, my small business and my work as a Software Engineer. I've had mostly Dells forever, but I purchased a Gateway monitor last year and was happy so decided I'd buy this Gateway because it was on sale and had everything I seemed to need. I know there are faster processors out there, but this is fast. Love the built in WIFI and I LOVE the amount of USB ports available to me - 4 of them within easy access from the front of the tower.
I do not like the fact that my 1TB hard drive came as a single drive; I'd prefer to have 2 drives to keep C:\ as my system drive and leave all data on D:\. While I have an external hard drive I also have a 2nd internal hard drive I am moving over from my old Dell, but I notice there was no 'simple' way to open the case - whereas my Dell just required a quick button push. When i called Gateway to ask which was the correct screws to undo, I wanted to do it right the first time, their answer was 'we do not recommend you open your tower, please consult a local technician'...whaa???!!! Crazy! But afgter 15minutes of elevating my call I eventually got the information I needed. My worry, if it was THIS difficult to get a simple answer what will happen when something really bad happens? Even though my warranty ran out from my Dell several years prior, I was always able to get enough assistance from them when I needed it. I'm afraid going with Gateway will not yield the same results.
Otherwise, in the last month that I've owned this I truly am happy with everything about this machine.

What's great about it: Price, Performance, Lighting, Front Ports, USB 3.0, Internal Design
What's not so great: Internal Cable Management, Bloatware,
After owning this desktop for approximately two months, I am utterly satisfied. For its price, this desktop could simply not be better. After initial setup, which is much quicker than other brands of computers, the device runs excellently. Unfortunately, the computer does come with a small amount of bloatware. These can be easily removed via Windows built in Add or Remove programs or the excellent Revo Uninstaller however not coming with the programs would be preferable. After this, the computer is ready for all of your programs. It will run the majority of games at medium to high settings, however do not expect to run majorly graphically-dependent games without a graphics card. The computer does have space for major brands, however you will probably have to install a new, more powerful, power supply. Considering everything this is an excellent desktop for the casual or power user.

Review 16 for Gateway Desktop - 6GB Memory - 1TB Hard Drive
Is it 3.0 USB and up to 16GB RAM?
Customer Rating
4.0
I was looking at specs and reviews on this DX4860-UB32P - looked in Gateway's site - they say it is only has 10 - 2.0 USB ports, none are 3.0
and they say it is upgradeable to only 8 GB RAM memory.
http://us.gateway.com/gw/en/US/content/model/PT.GCPP2.003 but the title of the PC has this:
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium - 3.3GHz Intel® Core™ i3 - 6GB memory, max 16GB - 1TB storage - Intel® HD Graphics 2000 - 300W - Wi-Fi - USB 3.0 - HDMI®
Genuine Windows® 7 Home Premium - 3.3GHz Intel® Core™ i3 - 6GB memory, max 16GB - 1TB storage - Intel® HD Graphics 2000 - 300W - Wi-Fi - USB 3.0 - HDMI®
so I can see how Bestbuy has different specs then Gateway - looking at Gateway's full specs - says what i posted up front 2.0 only & 8GB RAM max
This product is... specs are wrong? maybe

What's great about it: terabyte hard drive, 3.0 USB ports, stereo, HDMI hookup, multi card reader, really fast! 3.3
What's not so great: only few weeks, nothing yet to complain about.
if you want a computor you wont have to replace for awhile, this is what you want. i researched a long time before buying this. looked at what the most expensive computors have to offer than tried to match as much as i could in my price range. never thought i could get so much for so little. we own our own business and must have reliable computor that is fast and has plenty storage space without getting backups, etc. we get tired of constantly every few yrs having to buy more. if we get lucky, we figure this should last at least five yrs. instead of two or three.
This product is... Perfect for Business, Easy to set up and is lightning fast, A nice compact size, extremely fast.

What's not so great: Poor tech support, poor quality computer
I bought this computer to replace an older Gateway that lasted five years. Out of the box it worked o.k., but after one month of light use, but upon boot up, the computer gave non-system disk errors / hard rive failure errors! Gateway tech support is horrible and you cannot understand the foreign agents. Will not buy a Gateway again!
This product is... o.k. at first!!
