Gateway Ambles Downmarket With Ultra-Generic LT2000 Netbook
9:59PM John Herrman | Say what you want about the Gateway LT3100’s AMD processor and operating system options, but at least it had an angle. The $US300, Atom-based 10.1-inch LT2000, on the other hand, is as predictable as netbooks get. More »

Gateway’s New Rebellious 11.6-Inch Netbook Packs AMD Athlon Processor
3:00PM Dan Nosowitz | What’s up, Gateway? You think you’re too good for the Atom? All the other netbooks are using it. Doesn’t this really make your new LT3100 more of a tiny-screened, incredibly cheap ($US399 MSRP) laptop? More »

Acer and Gateway’s Army of Netbooks Led by 11.6-Inch Aspire One
10:28AM Matt Buchanan | Acer is the number one maker of netbooks, so it’s not surprising they’ve got a brand new brigade. They’re all 10.1 and 11.6 inchers—the days of the 9-inch netbook are over. More »

Gateway’s Pininfarina Designed ID Notebook
10:12AM Matt Buchanan | Gateway’s ID series are the first computers designed by Pininfarina (of Ferrari fame). The signature aesthetic seems to be the swoop at the bottom of the monitor—not mind-blowing, but better than BMW’s HP effort. More »

Gateway Shutters Online Store, Exits Direct PC Sales Business Completely
5:30AM Gizmodo US Edition | Gateway will now no longer be selling its PCs through Gateway.com and has shut down all its direct PC sales to become a 100% retail channel PC company. The move is only somewhat surprising–its newish parent company Acer has always focused on offering its goods through resellers. But seeing how Gateway was one of the original success stories for the selling PCs directly to consumers model, the shuttering of its online store is a little like the death knell of an era.

Gateway Budget Gaming Desktop Gets 45nm Quad-Core Refresh
9:09AM Matt Buchanan | It’s been a few months since CES, so Gateway is rightly updating its FX budget gaming desktops with some fresher chips. Most notably, the FX7026 (more budget-y) and FX541 (more performance-y) are picking up Intel’s mid-range Q9300 Core 2 Quad processor (which beat down AMD’s top of the line Phenom X4 9850 quad in benchmarks). They both start at a little over a grand, so not bad deals—check the release for more details. More »

Dell XPS One, Gateway One and Apple iMac Get Friendly
1:00PM Wilson Rothman | The All-In-One is in full effect this year, with some very hot models: the Gateway One, the Dell XPS One and Apple’s new iMac. While it’s nice to pick favorites and all, the fact is, each of these are better than most computers out there, and each has particular design traits that stand out. I’ve given awards in different categories at the end of this piece, but in the meantime, this is really a walk through of different design choices. If it seems to lean heavily on the Dell XPS One, that’s because it’s newer, and we’ve already spent more time on the Apple and the Gateway. So take a leisurely stroll through all of this stuff, compare and contrast, and at the end, hell, call your own winner. More »
