Gateway SX2801-01e
$550.00
Released July, 2010
The Pros:Very small footprint, can put it up on top of your desk and it won't use up much space. Runs quiet even with heavy use, generally can't even tell its on. Fast and effective at handling applications and multiple browser windows.
The Cons:Refurbished units are frequently shipped with problems booting up, need to be checked right away. Not enough power to handle modern 3D games. Limited expansion possibilities, pretty much stuck with the specs as they are when you get it.
