Gateway One ZX Series - Touchscreen Desktop PC Review

[padude64]

This computer model can be mounted on a wall to watch movies.

I've got a Gateway all in one pc which I absolutely love so far... Windows 7 works great and it's super fast.

It came with intel core i5 for like $700 less than i3 Mac, but same screen size etc etc.

My only concern is upgrading the processor to i7 someday and I'm not sure if I'll be able to do that?

can you replace the graphics card in this?

[iPadiPhone24]

This is a really great PC but it's 3976432 times better with the STYLUS-R-US "BIG SCREEN:" Stylus. OMGGG does that stylus EVER make this PC scream, not to mention, keep the screen clean. I bought mine at beststylusDOTcom

Isn't a review supposed to have pros and cons? This sounded like I was watching QVC / Home Shopping Channel.

What a waste of time.

Don't get me started with GW Customer Support.

Is it good for gaming?

[BigdogWitBigdog]

@210Records These should be fine for small time gaming. You should be able to run most games on around medium settings, If you are buying for gaming, either get the top of the line model ZX series, or just get build a computer for gaming. Seriously building gaming computers is the cheapest and best way for gaming.

@210Records

He's right. You need at least 2.4ghz cpu and perhaps Quad Core or i5 for XBOX-like gaming.

To be honest all-in-one's are better suited to graphic design and video editing.

Everything is built-in, just like iMac. So, repairing it would be in a cramped place. Or if there's one problem you have to hall the whole thing in.

Very slow and unresponsive..Should wait for a more powerful model that has quicker response. The cpu chip isnt powerful enough to keep up with the speed of the user interfacing with the screen, plus the touch technology is relevantly new. They should get some advice from apples iPhone4 tech team :) That shit would be flying.

thanks for the review! i remember i saw the cnet review, but it looked as though the guy reviewing it had no idea how to use the touch screen (it seems much easier to use in every other video i've seen).

I think i'm probably going to get the zx6900 model since it has the best specs and is only 900 bucks from best buy :]

i hope this computer lasts.

who puts a computer in the kitchen

[getconnectedtvshow]

@dudu4894 A computer in the kitchen has many benefits. It gives access to endless amounts of recipes, and you could even follow cooking videos on Youtube step by step. As computers become more and more part of our daily living, people probably won't have a traditional computer room in their house anymore.

[dudu4894]

@getconnectedtvshow you shouldn't say "as computer become more and more part of our daily living" , but instead you should say " as computer become cheaper and more affordable"

[getconnectedtvshow]

@dudu4894 Thanks for your comments, perhaps I didn't develop my point well enough. I meant to say that we are relying more on computers to complete various tasks in our daily life and having a computer in the kitchen is just one example. But you point is well taken; the price of computers continues to decrease making it more affordable to have multiple computers in a home, each used for specific and/or multiple tasks.

@getconnectedtvshow It would be kind of wierd to have that large 23" Display in a kitchen, considering how large it is.

[getconnectedtvshow]

@femurlemur I agree with you; it really depends on the size of the kitchen. For a large kitchen with ample counter room, this might be fine. But for a small kitchen, it would probably be too big taking too much valuable space that is better suited for traditional appliances.

hehe this is my new computer
