Gateway Announces New Line of Media Center PCs
Gateway has its new line of PCs for the holiday buying season, including Media Center desktop PCs.
The entire desktop line features the Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005 operating system. However, only the line's 'high-performance' model, the Gateway GT5014, includes an integrated TV tuner for viewing and recording TV programs. As far as we're concerned a media center PC isn't a media center PC without a TV tuner.
The Gateway GT5014 combines the entertainment benefits of Microsoft Windows Media Center Edition 2005 with an integrated TV tuner and remote control. Gateway customers can use the PC to enjoy and control live and recorded TV programming as well as digital video, photography and music. Intel Graphics Media Accelerator (GMA) 950 integrated graphics with full DirectX(TM) 9 support provides advanced graphics playback that makes gaming, digital video and other multimedia vibrant. In addition, Gateway has designed the system with high-definition 7.1 audio capabilities for high fidelity sound.
