Gateway Unveils DX Desktop Series

Gateway today announced they were updating their desktop line with a new series of computers which feature some of the “latest technology” out there. The new DX series, broken out amongst three models, is available now for starting prices ranging from $499.99 to $899.99.

The DX100, DX200 and DX300, Gateway said, offer up the newest in Intel 64-bit processors as well as the computer manufacturer’s BTX cooling chassis. This Gateway designed chassis uses dual system fans to create a central wind tunnel which circulates more air for the cooling of internal components.

The DX100, the most basic of the three, is aimed at the entry level market, while the DX200 is more geared for those gaming over the Internet or running a home-based business. The top of the line DX300, meanwhile, boasts things like an Intel Pentium 4 processor with HT Technology for running multiple applications at once, a DVD+/-R/RW drive 8-in-1 media card reader and a SATA II/300 hard drive.

“We’ve taken the latest technologies that other PC companies typically roll out only on their high-end systems and are making them available throughout our entire line — from high-performance all the way down to our value models,” said Marc Demars, Gateway’s senior director of product marketing.

Trying to buy a GPU in 2023 almost makes me miss the shortage

The days of the GPU shortage are long over, but somehow, buying a GPU is harder than ever -- and that sentiment has very little to do with stock levels. It's just that there are no obvious candidates when shopping anymore.

In a generation where no single GPU stands out as the single best graphics card, it's hard to jump on board with the latest from AMD and Nvidia. I don't want to see another GPU shortage, but the state of the graphics card market is far from where it should be.
This generation is all over the place

While the laptop industry continues to move toward 14-inch laptops and larger, the 13-inch laptop remains an important category. One of the best is the Apple MacBook Air M2, with an extremely thin and well-built chassis, great performance, and incredibly long battery life.

Lenovo has recently introduced the third generation of its ThinkPad X1 Nano, one of the lightest laptops we've tested and a good performer as well. It's stiff competition, but which of these two diminutive laptops stands apart?
