The system's integrated wireless-N and gigabit LAN connectivity does much to bolster its ability to function as a multimedia-streaming device in an existing high-speed network. You also get six USB ports and an eSATA connection for external hard drives. But as I mentioned: no Blu-ray drive, a shame given the system's 1080p-compatibility.

The bundled keyboard and mouse are average, with no greater functionality than what you'd find on a standard keyboard and two-button mouse. They're wireless devices, which at least conserves ports. And Gateway's inclusion of a remote helps the ZX6810-01 bridge the gap from desktop to "living room PC." A lack of upgradability--or, at least, a lack of any mention of upgradability in the manual--means that you're stuck with what you get in this all-in-one system.

That said, there's not much we'd change about the inside of this PC. Gateway's ZX6810-01 is an absolute killer in both general and gaming performance--the latter being quite rare in the all-in-one category. A few quibbles with the system's overall display quality and the lack of Blu-ray are our chief reservations about this all-in-one desktop. The ZX6810-01 isn't as fast as the iMacs, but if you want the fastest multitouch all-in-one PC out there, the ZX6810-01 is the system to beat.
