Gateway FX4710 Review - ZDNet
A review of the Gateway FX4710 desktop PC has been posted over at ZDNet. 'The FX4710 features a brand-new case design from Gateway, although the differences between it and the previous chassis are mostly cosmetic; this Gateway has the same orange-and-black color scheme, which may verge on garish to some of you. The new case is roughly the same size as the older model, and almost all of the familiar expandability options remain, including a memory card reader, and USB, FireWire, and audio jacks on the front.
The one missing feature is a front panel bay for Gateway's proprietary removable hard drives, and we can't say we're sorry to see it go. HP's Pavilions have clung to these removable storage slots for at least the past year, in some cases installing two per system. Perhaps HP has had more luck pushing its drives on customers, but the impact those built-in bays have on internal space has never seemed like a reasonable trade-off, especially with the proliferation of compact, affordable, third-party USB drives.'
