Gateway today introduced new models of touchscreen all-in-one ZX series desktops. The lower-end ZX4300 line get AMD Athlon II X2 processors, where as the higher-end ZX6900 line gets Intel’s powerful Core i3 and i5 processors and Blu-ray drive.

“Because all-in-ones integrate a desktop tower into the back of a flat-panel display, they typically use smaller, less powerful notebook components that don’t require a lot of space,” said Steve Smith, senior business manager of consumer desktops, Acer America. “However, Gateway was able to leverage the latest desktop components to give consumers the best of both worlds – powerful performance and lower cost, all in a stylish, space-saving design.”

The ZX4300-01e includes 20-inch screen (1600 x 900), 2.7GHz dual core AMD Athlon II X2 235e processor, 640GB hard drive, 4GB DDR3 RAM, integrated ATI Radeon HD 4270 graphics, WiFi b/g/n, multi card reader and wireless mouse and keyboard for $749.99. The Gateway One ZX4300-01e will be available the first week of June at a leading retailer nationwide. Additional models will be available in July and will include TV tuners and faster AMD processors.

The ZX6900-01e comes with 23-inch screen (1920 x 1080), 2.93GHz Intel Core i3 530 processor, 4GB RAM, 640GB hard drive, Intel integrated graphics, slot load Blu-ray/DVD drive, WiFi and wireless keyboard / mouse priced $1,019.99. The Gateway One ZX6900-01e is available now at leading retailers nationwide. An additional model will be available in June and will include a TV tuner and the faster Intel Core i5 650 processor.
