Good low-cost computer

Customer Rating:
I bought this computer because of its huge HD space. It is adequately fast to run photoshop, but it is not a screamer. But for the price, I shouldn't complain.

Great

Well, don't know what the difference is...since I know Acer and Gateway are the same company now...but the Acer I bought 2 years ago was terrible, nothing but trouble.

I now have this Gateway, because the reviews were so great, and I love it. Although I have not had it long yet. Hope it lasts as long as I think it will. No problems so far.

Amazon's price was the best I had found and I did a lot of searching. Thanks..

Terrible experience

I purchased this computer from Best Buy on 10/27/09 and it worked until 1/7/10. The hard drive failed. Best Buy repaired the hard drive under warranty and I have spent the last 6 weeks or more trying to obtain ,from Gateway, a set of recovery disks that will work. The Tech. support experience has been awful and Gateway "has no Customer Service Department" according to the Tech. Support department. I have tried to reach a real person to complain by calling and e-mailing both Gateway and Acer with no luck. Save yourself some grief and buy some other brand.

This is the one!!!

I bought this computer around Christmas and do not regret it at all. I spent days and days trying to find the right computer to do school work and for personal use. Well let me tell you I found the one and this computer rocks. I have had no problems at all with it. It has plenty of HDD space and memory for the price. I have to be honest I was skeptical at first but who isn't when purchasing a computer. There are so many to choose from. I put all kinds of music and videos on this system and it seems like nothing can slow it down. I upgraded to Windows 7 Professional and I could not , or would not go back to Vista or even XP for that matter. Microsoft finally got something right this time with Windows 7. Any ways all and all if you are looking for a computer and thinking about purchasing this one, then I have two words for you. DO IT!. It is well worth the price and you won't be dissapointed.

Bought this computer specifically to take advantage of price and power offered. The intention was to upgrade it with a larger power supply and add an additional optical and hard drive for backup. Having saved several IDE products with which to do this, I was very surprised to find that there is virtually no expandability for anything other than SATA products. No IDE plugs on the motherboard and insufficient power supply connectors even if there were motherboard accommodations. Nice if you want to buy all new equipment, but then you would go first class and build from scratch. I suppose a five hundred dollar computer has to trim features somewhere but this seems a bit much.....I will say the machine operates as advertised but I'm disappointed nonetheless.
