Gateway CEO retiring early next year

By James Allan Brady on Friday, Dec 14th 2007 No Comments

edcoleman Just when I thought all the news of these tech industry CEO’s being fired, or just quitting was through, here comes another from Gateway, the computer manufacturer. Mr. Ed Coleman’s decision was largely due to Acer, another computer manufacturer, buying out Gateway as of October.

Before Gateway was purchased, it had its own line of PCs, a more generic brand of PCs under the brand of eMachines, and they had just gotten effective control over Packard Bell, so now Acer owns all of that too. That’s quite a prolific career Mr. Coleman, best of luck in all your future endeavors.

Not a bad computer all in, its just too bad Dell doesn’t have a brain of their own and they have to not only leech PC designs from other companies (Apple, Gateway), but they also have to go so far as to steal the name too (Gateway ONE). God, I hope to god that Gateway sues their asses off.

Gateway One Review – Sleek all-in-one desktop

By Vincent Nguyen on Thursday, Oct 11th 2007 No Comments

Think all-in-one computers and think hefty, lumpen PCs that try to pretend to be swish LCD displays but instead end up looking desperate – or, more likely, think Apple’s luscious iMac and its effortless evolution of style. Gateway have attempted the form-factor before, but never as convincingly as their new One; when first sighted the inevitable “is this an iMac killer?” questions arose and, while that’s an important point, maybe more important is whether living with the glossy obelisk is as pleasing as it is to look at. Gateway were kind enough to send a pre-production One over to SlashGear, and so we’ve been putting it through its fashionable paces.

Gateway XHD3000 Quad HD display announced

By Chris Scott Barr on Thursday, Oct 4th 2007 3 Comments

So you’ve got yourself a nice fancy-pants TV that plays your high-def content pretty nicely. I’m sure it does at least 720p, or if you’ve got a nice one, 1080p. However, does yours go up to 1600p? I doubt it.

Gateway XHD3000 Quad HD display announced

Gateway has taken the wraps off their new 30-inch XHD3000 Quad HD display today. I’m sure you’re going to ask, “what is Quad HD?” They use this name because the monitor can display resolutions up to four times as high as a standard 720p TV. While you aren’t going to find a lot of content that goes all the way up to 1600p, it will happily upscale from 1080p.

As promised, here is the Gateway One unboxing video. I want to thank Glenn and Tawna from Gateway for helping us doing the unboxing.

The setup is as easy as plugging in the power cable to the system and you are good to go. No pairing needed for the wireless keyboard and mouse, it seems Gateway preset them to connect to the system.

Gateway One – Sleek All-in-one desktop

By Satsuki Then on Wednesday, Sep 26th 2007 11 Comments

Gateway today announced a sleek desktop PC called The One that looks equally (or more) attractive than the new iMac. I personally think the One is a long lost brother of the new iMac.

Gateway One design resembles characteristics of Apple iMac with its slot-loading side mounted DVD burners and the connectors such as three USB ports, one FireWire, and audio in/out. Wall mounting kit is also available to allow consumer to mount the system on the wall.
