If you have to use a PC at home, it isn't really that bad. Not a great value, but neither is an iMac.
The video card is so much worse, right?Its gpu sucks turds and its got a bigger chin then Sean Penn. New iMac is pretty sweet.
My bust I didnt know about the other models with a ....2600xt. very interesting that Gateway could use the xt but the Mac couldnt. The Xt is really a better gaming card by a good margin over the pro. Plus they come with a TV tuner...wait a minute maybe that Mac isnt looking so goodThe video card is so much worse, right?![]()

Is it just me or does it look like an oversized black 5G iPod? (top half without the click-wheel)![]()

it seems like it is a xt card even though apple calls it a pro card. so maybe the graphics card is the exact same.

What's with that web page though? It took about three minutes to load - if you think Flash on OS X is slow, try it on Linux. And you can't tell what the images link to until you click on them, and even then you're not sure what you're being shown. Terrible web design.
Speaking as a huge Mac supporter and equally-huge PC basher, I think this is actually decent looking (ducks rotten tomatoes being thrown at head).
Don't get me wrong, I love my iMac and nothing comes close, but this isn't hideous.
That said, it's not that impressive for an all-in-one given that it still has a huge power brick. You would think they'd be able to hide it in that giant Brian Mulroney style chin.
USB devices are plentiful. The iMac is rather lacking with only 3 ports.Ok, it's not the worst thing... but it sure is close. It really is laughable... 4" more inches than my screen and they can't manage more pixels of space? It really just looks like a photoshopped 5 gen iPod. And WTH does one do with 7 USB ports, hook up everyone on your block's printer?

I found it quite strange the remaining USB ports were on the power brick. They'd still be useful for printers and such.Now Eidorian, I have to disagree with you. In all fairness the Gateway only has 3 usb ports on the machine just like the iMac but the iMac also has 2 more on the keyboard unlike the Gateway. If you want to use the other USB ports on the Gateway they are on that stupid power brick which sits on the floor, hideous. At least the keyboard usb ports on the iMac are easily accessible.

I noticed a lot of empty space inside. The internals aren't hair thin like the iMac.I found it quite strange that there's a power brick when the Gateway is much thicker than the iMac. The iMac's power supply is built in.
it looks like a perfectly fine computer to me. It seems people want to bash it solely because it "looks" like the iMac. Have any of the critics used it? No.
