Topic:

Multi-touch all-in-one PCs are one of the hottest gadget types in the world right now.

According to Akihabara news, Acer Japan has just released a new, multitouch member of the Gateway ZX series. This 20" all-in-one packs a lot of power, despite its slim frame.

Gateway EC Series Win7 Notebooks Launch

Topic:

All of the major manufacturers are rolling out new lines in preparation for this week's launch of the Windows 7 OS. Gateway just sent out a press release announcing the launch of their new EC series of notebooks. These new Windows 7 machines will launch alongside the OS, and feature long battery life and a very thin body.

The EC58, 54 and 14 all feature 6-8 hours of battery life, at least according to Gateway. It's anyone's guess as to how long they can last in reality. The EC58 and 54 each weigh 5.29 lbs, and run about 1" thick. Both machines feature a 15.6" LED HD widescreen display. The EC14, on the other hand, is more of a portable model. It has an 11.6" screen, full-sized keyboard, and a weight of 3.79 lbs.

Gateway Multitouch All-In-One PCs Coming

Topic:

Windows 7 is due out on the 22nd of this month, and with it will come a whole plethora of new devices. Since Win 7 has touchscreen support, we're going to see a lot of tablets, touchscreen notebooks, and all-in-ones that take advantage of this fact. According to Gizmodo Gateway has two new multitouch beauties due out just in time for the Windows 7 launch.

Now, normally, all-in-one PCs like this are pretty low power machines. The $1400 24" ZX6800, however, breaks that stereotype with its 2.33 GHz Core 2 Quad 2.33 GHz processor, 8 GB of RAM, and 1 GB ATI Radeon HD 4570 graphics chipset. It has a 64 GB SSD for handing the OS and applications, plus a 1 TB hard disk for all your media. It also has an 8x DVD writer, a multi-card reader, WiFi, an HD webcam, 6 USB slots, and the ability to act as an HDTV. That's right; the ZX6800 is capable of displaying 1080p, and has a built-in TV tuner, remote control, 5.1 channel audio, and 5-watt stereo speakers.

Gateway MC7803u Notebook Review

Topic:

Our review partner Digital Trends tested the Gateway MC7803u laptop and published a review.
Quote from the review: "When luxury notebooks come to mind, few consumers are likely to rattle off "Gateway" among the list of companies that offer a high-end product. If anything, the company's cow-spotted boxes and mid-Western origins are more likely to call to mind practical computers suited to Ma and Pa back on the farm. Acer's purchase of Gateway over a year ago has begun to shift that image, though, and the 16-inch MC7803u multimedia notebook is among the new breed of PCs to reflect that push toward a classier Gateway.

Gateway P-6831FX Gaming Notebook Review

Topic:

Hothardware published a review of the Gateway P-6831FX Gaming Notebook.

Quote from the review: "While there are quite a few manufacturers building GeForce 8800M equipped notebooks, almost all of them are high-end products that demand top dollar for the pleasure. Gateway's "P-Series FX" line-up of 17" gaming notebooks seems no different at first glance. However, careful inspection of their product specifications reveals that the most junior P-Series FX model weighs in at just $1,349.99, a decidedly mid-range price point for this type of machine. Yet it's still powered by a GeForce 8800M, just like the rest of the otherwise high-end FX notebook line-up. Read more
