STAY AWAY!!!!

 

STAY AWAY!!!!

Bought this computer in a hurry since my custom built was stroke by lightning. The machine is very fast and have plenty of memory, but.. It comes with pre-loaded Norton Internet Security. Norton Internet Security is the most intrusive software I have...

Just what I needed.

 

I've always been a fan of Gateway. I bought this computer to replace my old one that just kicked the bucket. It was a gateway as well, and I bought it in 2002! I don't know many people that have 7 year old unaltered PCs, so it's no surprise that I came...

Good fast processor, plenty of RAM, and a nice big hard drive. It runs quiet, the case looks nice, and, although it may be a minor mention, the keyboard is very nice for a standard item. Totally got my money's worth

The speakers don't have a headphone jack, so you have to plug into the tower, and it was a delicate process getting my old internal hard drive into the bay (not much room in there)

A very nice, quiet, and fast machine at a great price...

 

Gateway/Acer have done a nice job in putting together a very solid machine for the money. It is well suited to the home user who demands good performance but would like it at a bargain price. I used to build machines for people and can't imagine that I...

Features for the price. It ran very well out of the box and has not disappointed. This is my first experience in owning a Vista machine and, from all of the distaste people have voiced about it - well, everywhere - I was expecting some headaches. None...

Minor annoyance in HAVING to burn backup DVD's (vs. recovery installable OS on hidden HDD partition or DVD's themselves). "Big Fix" software seems like a bit of a waste so far in terms of finding updates/fixes,etc

Terrible Customer Service

 

After one week, the PC stopped recognizing the keyboard - any keyboard. I spoke to 3 different tech reps to try to fix it and they each told me something different. I had to ship it back to Gateway (actually ACER) at my expense under warranty and they...

It worked the first week I owned it

It hasn't worked since

Consumer review by:

Great system

 

System comes with Vista 64, which may not be your personal preference, but it really isn't to bad. This system replaced my old pentium 3.0 with HT that ran XP. Its been a great replacement system.

Great value for what you get

None so far

Excellent Package Deal

 

"I like my package deal, I was looking for something like this before returning home and just one week before my flight, the add came out and immediately went to the store early in the morning. I got a Flat Screen monitor, 3 in 1 printer and the PC for...

Awesome Price, Awesome Product!

 

"I already knew that the video card on this wasn't the greatest. So I pre-bought a video card to install. After I installed it this desktop ran like T-1000. For all of you who didn't watch Terminator 2 it was that really fast liquid metal robot guy....

Awesome price, 6GB or RAM, fast and easy to use

Good computer for the price

 

"I bought this computer last week and have had a pretty good experience with it so far. It runs very fast for me and I haven't had it freeze up or give me any major problems yet. I've tried to download some programs which keep telling me that they...

Vista can be frustrating, 64 bit doesn't seem to work with some programs
