Gateway DX442XP Review – PC Mag
PC Magazine have published a review of the Gateway DX442XP multimedia desktop. ‘The DX442XP looks a lot like the rest of Gateway's current mainstream DX- and GT-series desktop PCs, with a pleasant yet nondescript front panel. A sliding door hides a pair of front USB ports, a headphone jack, and the slot for the Gateway multimedia removable hard drive. As I've said before, I don't like Gateway's removable drive. If you have to connect it to a PC that doesn't have a compatible drive bay (which basically means any non-Gateway PC, any laptop, and any Gateway desktop not equipped with the bay as well), you'll need to use the nonstandard USB cable that Gateway supplies. The cable has Type A connectors—the plugs that fit into the standard (rectangular) USB slots in your computer—at both ends, PC and drive, which is unusual. If you lose or forget this cable, you're out of luck.’
