Verdict:
1.7GHz for £1,113 sounds like a smart calculation, but the sums don't really add up. There are better-balanced, high-spec systems on the market for less money.

Our Rating
Even at a mid-range price, a fast processor should be the jewel in a system's crown. In the Gateway's case, it seems a shame to have surrounded it with a low-spec hard drive and less than impressive peripherals. As it is, there's little doubt that you're paying extra for the Pentium 4, and that's about it. With high-speed PCs coming in with better monitors and speaker setups at lower prices, the Gateway just isn't such an attractive prospect.
