Gateway has rolled out two additions to its desktop line of computers, the GM5664 and GT5662, both of which sport AMD Phenom quad-core processors, and the GM series offers a Hybrid-SuperMulti optical drive that can read both Blu-ray and HD DVD movies.
"Gateway’s new retail line up marries high-performance with affordability," said Gateway’s senior manager for desktops Glenn Jystad, in a statement. "These new systems offer just about everything one could ask for in a powerful PC, delivering a great combination of features that are sure to please."
The GM5663 is aimed at gamers, multimedia enthusiasts, and content creators, offering the Hybrid SuperMulti drive, an integrated TV tuner, a 7,200 rpm 1 TB hard drive, and a 400-watt power supply for folks with expansion plans.
