Gateway today announced four new models to its SX series small form factor Desktop PC line. The new models include the SX2803-25e, SX2851-09e, SX2851-41 and the SX2851-41e.
Featuring bold new designs, Gateway's SX small form factor and DX Series of multimedia PCs now boast soft curves, glossy black finishes and internal side lighting, which provides a beautiful ambient glow that adds depth and character to the overall designs. In addition, the top front edge of the PCs are curved at a 45 degree angle, providing easy access to the digital media card reader and frequently used USB ports and headphone and microphone jacks.
In addition, the SX Series now features a “device deck,” a popular feature of the DX line. This small recessed area on top of the chassis is ideal for setting a camera, MP3 player or camcorder while using the USB ports to download media. An integrated rear compartment keeps the top of the PC clean and neat and provides a way to store and hide excess wires.
Despite their tiny size, the SX Series packs a powerful punch, delivering the perfect set of features and technologies for use as a home theatre system or for every day use. The SX is unobtrusive when placed in a main living area or small bedroom or dorm room, and is perfect as a primary or secondary PC.
In addition to a new design option, the SX Series includes models with AMD or Intel processors, up to 6GB of memory, Intel or NVIDIA graphics and up to 1TB hard drives. They provide enough performance to handle productivity and entertainment applications with ease, such as playing movies, home video, displaying digital photos, or casual gaming. In addition, an HDMI port delivers highest quality visuals and high-fidelity audio through a single cable to a big screen TV or external LCD.
