Gateway FX6840-57
$1,190.00
Released September, 2010
The Pros:Plenty of room inside for expansion. HD video playback works great, looks perfect when output is sent through HDMI to an HDTV. Enough graphic processing power to handle moderate gaming duties.
The Cons:Difficult to get in touch with technical support.
While its exterior was inspired by super cars just like its peers the FX6840-15e and FX6840-55, Gateway's FX6840-57 is, at its heart, an upgraded model with a 2.93 GHz Intel Core i7-870 processor with 4 MB Total Cache, 1 TB eco-friendly SATA hard drive, 8 GB of DDR3 memory, and an ATI Radeon 5770 graphics card with 1 GB discrete video memory.
