Does anyone here have a gateway pc? I have been looking around and found a gateway machine but I am not sure weather I should buy it or not?
 
Post a link to the machine? Gateways are alright sometimes, I would generally go with dell if you want a manufactured PC.
 
get a gateway! i'm using a GT4016 and its great! best pc i've ever had. and don't go with dell...overpriced junk.

I did a little comparison between Dell and Gateway. The Gateway costs only $638.98 while the Dell cost $658. With the Gateway, you get a better processor, speakers, and a better mouse & keyboard, plus it looks better. Heres the specs for the Dell:

AND heres the specs for the Gateway:

As you can see the Gateway is better. Go for the Gateway! My Gateway is great! It was at a good price too.
