The Gateway DX100X starts at the near rock-bottom price of $449 (after $100 rebate); our $801 review unit featured upgrades that included a 15-inch LCD and a double-layer DVD burner. The Intel Celeron-based DX100X can handle most mainstream applications, but it has serious expandability issues, giving it a shorter shelf life than a more flexible system such as the eMachines T6524. If you're looking for an entry-level PC for dorm or family room use, there are better options in the same general price range, including the Dell Dimension E510, which boasts a mainstream Pentium 4 processor and a TV tuner card..
