Gateway M-1626

Advantages: Great Ram, and resistance to damage
Disadvantages: The ordinar resolution

...The beautiful design makes it all! It has 2year warranty! It has 3 gb of Ram, 250 Gb hard drive. For almost 800$, you've made the best deal. When I saw it, i couldn't believe my eyes! The only thing that may be said of bad about this notebooks is the ordinary resolution - 1,280-by-800. And, nowadays, adding extraspace isn't so expensive. But, the 1.83-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo rises the appreciation. Also, the red color isn't painted in a great way... Performance is the value that Gateway always maintained. This time too. It has more memory than many others notebooks, and the quality of the images is outstanding.I bought it as a gift for my cousin almost a year ago. He did something to it and had to use the warranty. After they repaired it, it was like new. So, it sustains damage :D But, don't try to crack it beacuse of your nerves. If i... Read review

Advantages: High performance, reliability. Good value-for-money.
Disadvantages: None

...I invested in a Gateway Performance 650 system some 4 months ago. I purchased an Epson Perfection 610 scanner, and a HP Deskjet 840C printer separately to get away from the "cheap" packages offered by most of the popular retailers who include only low performance printers and scanners as a part of the deal.

Everythiny worked perfectly first time, with no problems to date. I feel the Gateway machine may not appear on the surface to be amongst the cheapest, but if the price of the cheapo peripherals is taken out of many of the "packages" on offer, the Gateway machine does offer good value for money. The consumers association also rate it as one of the most reliable... Read review

Advantages: Fast, easy, reliable, versatile
Disadvantages: None I can think of!

...A few weeks ago I acquired a Gateway Solo 2550 Notebook computer principally for my work as an Everest salesman. The company supplied the specialist software - which is brilliant - but I was wary of such a small lightweight machine for regular use. However, it is simply WONDERFUL! I use it for a work, personal use and play several hours every day, and the keyboard and display are SUPERB! The touch pad mouse took a bit of getting used to - but only a bit - and I'm now just as happy with it as a standard mouse. If you've been conditioned to expect notebooks to be inferior to desktops - don't believe it. The extra versatility makes it absolutely invaluable - for my wife and family as well, when they can get their hands on it!... Read review
