Peer Review: Gateway?s One
Gateway introduced an iMac-style "all in one" computer called the One at Digital Life yesterday. Our editor thought it looked promising, and he wasn't alone. Desktop computers, even other all-in-ones rarely garner so much attention (unless they're iMacs, that is). It looks like Gateway may have finally broken through with true iMac competition: the computer looks sleek, and has similar specs dollar-for-dollar to the stand-alone Apples. Then again, as CNet points out, this is Gateway's seventh try at this sort of PC. We've rounded up a few views from around the web after the jump, and would love to hear yours.
"The Gateway One desktop computer introduces a few cool design improvements to the all-in-one desktop concept, but it loses major points in performance and overall value. We'd recommend the faster, more affordable iMac instead." , ZDNet
"Clutter-free computing; it just feels nice., Wired.com
"Sure, it may look like a black iMac, but it's got some extra twists that make it impressively innovative?it's every bit as sleek as the iMac, for all you PC lovers out there. " , Switched
"Normally I don't get this jazzed about desktop PCs, but the Gateway One is special. From the sleek yet substantial design to the quiet, powerful core, it's a real statement, especially from the cow-pocked South Dakota underdog." , Gizmodo
"The Gateway One is nothing so radical, and it's not likely to ever challenge the Mac because it has one fatal flaw, no matter how good it looks: Vista Home Premium."
