Gateway updates ZX AIO line with new AMD, Intel chips
Following in the footsteps of other major players, Gateway today added AMD chips to its ZX all-in-one PC range. The company's ZX4300-01e features a 20-inch 1600x900 touchscreen, an Athlon II X2 235e dual-core processor, Radeon HD 4270 integrated graphics, 4GB of DDR3 1333MHz RAM, 640GB of storage, a DVD burner, six USB 2.0 ports, a multi-card reader, wired and wireless Internet connectivity, and anything else you'd expect to find on a $750 AIO machine.
The company's update isn't limited to AMD-based offerings. For another $270, the ZX6900-01e features a 23-inch 1080p touchscreen, a 2.93GHz Intel Core i3-530 processor, a slot-loading Blu-ray player, 5.1-channel audio support, and HDMI-out. Both machines ship with a wireless keyboard and mouse combo and Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
The Gateway One ZX4300-01e will be available the first week of June and iterations with quicker processors and TV tuners are due in July. Meanwhile, the ZX6900-01e is available now, while an i5 variant is slated for June.
