terrible job on there laptops, out of 4 laptops i have seen of gateway 3 of the 4 cd drives break and the shut of because they over heat all the time.

Gateway is the absolute worst computer brand ever!!!!!!!!!!!!
The compter I use specifically is a Gateway. My computer has been broken for a while now and now the whole family has to use one computer, abd it sucks!!! It can't do anything!!!

1. Videos don't work well. They randomly pause like every 2 seconds without you doing anything, and then it take about 30 seconds to get going again. Then it does it about 5 times during each video.
2. This computer can't run any PC games. Everytime you put in a game about 5 minutes into the game the computer will make a loud staticy noise and then everything will freeze and you have to turn off the computer from the CPU, and then that take forever.
3. This computer is extremely slow. it won't run online or offline fast at all!
4. It won't respond to mouse clicks very well. It acts as if I didn't even click anything and it will just stay on the same screen.
5. Sometimes, when you first log in under your name to go to the computer desktop, you can click on the icon for the program you want to use. For me, its usually the internet. anyway, it will highlight the icon as if you clicked it, but then it won't do anything!! So when you try to log off and try again, that won't respond either. Then I get a a window that says "AUTO SUGGEST DROP-DOWN" and I have no clue what that is. The same window says "end now."
6. It can't even run a PC game from 2002 OR 2000, and you can't even get any simpler than that!!!! HOW PITIFUL!!!!!!!!!!
7. Now, when I log under a name, it says you have to be the administrater to install this program. What program????!!!! I am not even doing anything.

So Gateway have the glitchiest, crappiest, non- functional, worthless computers ever made!!!!!!

I had had no problem with gateway

My 10 year old Gateway finally bit the big one and I just bought a new one. Three or four years ago they were junk, they came around and are again putting quality components in their Gateway branded machines.

Used to swear by their product then moved away when they had their downturn. Haven't been back.

Builds quality computers with modern designs, also very accepting of AMD which is a plus for me as this brings a more well rounded selection of value and power PC's. Took a serious downgrade two years ago but slowly climbing back.
