Shopping for Gateway Desktop Computers

Date:Thursday, January 26 2006
Let's take a look at Gateway's two business product lines, the S and the E series.
The S-5200D comes pretty well configured, with a fast enough processor, enough RAM, and a CD burner as a bonus. Gateway was even having a deal when we shopped in January 2006--a Canon PIXMA iP1600 printer, free after rebate. We brought the hard drive and operating system up to our standard, and added a monitor and Microsoft Office. The final price was on the low side of our vendor pack.
