Top 10 Value PCs

A new Dell model debuts in second place on the value PCs chart.

  

Dell's multifaceted new OptiPlex GX150, bearing tool-less components and comprehensive management features, debuts this month at number two on our value chart. Even with all its high-end options, this corporate machine comes in at an affordable $1459. Farther down the chart, another inexpensive managed PC, Gateway's E-1600 XL, captures the ninth spot, thanks to its Very Good performance and its solid corporate features.

Also of Note

Even using the latest 900-MHz Duron chip, the Polywell Poly 900KLX couldn't muster enough oomph to jump onto our chart. Its 17-inch Optiquest Q71 monitor delivered vibrant colors but displayed blurry text at 1024 by 786 resolution and higher. The unit is housed in Polywell's older-style case, a clunky-looking gray tower. Impressive documentation ships in a sturdy box, and Lotus SmartSuite Millennium Edition comes with this PC. The small motherboard has three open bays and two open PCI slots for expansion.
