So, along time ago (in a galaxy far, far away) I had a Gateway brand computer. Now, it was a pretty good little machine, wasn't the best, but it was cheap for me. I used it for awhile and then started building my own computers instead of buying them. Now, as I have been working in the computer field for a while I have had a sort of brand recognition beat into me. That brand is Dell. You buy Dell computers, you buy Dell servers, your mom is a Dell.
Well, today I wondered what happened to Gateway. I found out. They are still around and they are kicking ass, if you ask me (and you probably didn't). They have desktop systems for $500 that have Quad-Cores in them, 2.6 GHz processors, 4 GB of RAM, and, assuredly, 750 GB of disk space. I had an orgasm on the spot. Which was terrible because I was at work!
Gateway's laptops are pretty cool, too! And, everything is really cheap. You buy the computers from third-party retailers now instead of direct, which might be something that has happened since they shrunk.
If you are looking for a new computer, you should definitely check them out. Gateway is the new pink.
