everything is okay Gateway is as fast or faster than hpm several hundred bucks less, plenty of storage and technology, touch screen makes things easier ten minute set up and really saves energy.
I brought this computer for my neice. She has a laptop and wanted this "touch screen". The clear plastic legs that hold the unit up look a little weak. If they holdup this should be a pretty good PC.
I absolutely love this computer. This is our first computer ever. It does everything I want and is a perfect fit for my family of four. I have 11 year old boys that love to game and download music. I scrapbook and this works well for me. My kids love the touchscreen feature and the speakers are a great sound quality. I would definitely recommend this to everyone!
The bench/lab tests done shows the Imac is a much faster and more solid system than Gateway One/HP Touchscreen. It even runs windows faster than the Gateway One or HP. I have yet to see a good PC touch screen computer. The HP touch sucks, is very slow, the hardware is cheap so don't expect games to run, and the touch features with Vista barely work, but the Gateway is the better buy of the PC world but it's nowhere close to the reliability and performance of an Imac.
Bought the model that ends in ZX4800-02 - almost identical price with 750 gig of RAM and 4 gigs of RAM. I like its clean profile (HP looks too busy to me as far as its looks go). We spend a lot of time in our kitchen around our island so I put ths PC in the kitchen as an "Appliance" because: (1) As a jukebox with windows media center. Shows all my albums with album art and cool User Experience. I can navigate with touch and play/queue with another touch. Friends love it when I throw a party. (2) I have connected this PC to cable jack with a TV tuner stick using its USB port in back. Again with Windows media center, I can watch TV programs browse program guides, record programs with its touch screen interface or remote control. I now have additional TV and DVR in kitchen.(3) Since it has built in microphone and speakers, I also use it like a phone (using Skype). One touch and I am talking to a friend over a video chat.(4) It plays all our pictures and videos slide shows when not in use.(4) Of course it is a full blown Windows 7 pc as well that kids use when googling or playing games. Comes with wireless keyboard and mouse. So the whole layout it clutter free. All for 640 dollars. I think at this point in technology evolution I cannot expect any more for the price.The only complain I have so far is that the space bar on the keyboard has to be typed with a bit more force to register. minor issue.
