    SAN DIEGO, Jan. 15 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Gateway, Inc. (NYSE: GTW) has
received the prestigious "Editors' Choice" award from PC Magazine for its new
Gateway 700XL, the most advanced desktop PC ever sold nationally.
    "Gateway desktops have been attracting attention in the company's
nationwide stores lately," PC Magazine stated in its review.  "Consumers love
the flat-panel LCDs that even the sub-$1,000 systems come with ... for the
money you just can't get more P4 power than this, which is why it's our
Editors' Choice."
    On the market for just one week, the Gateway 700XL has been selling at a

Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 2.20 GHz processor, an enormous 120GB hard drive, an
expansive 18.1-inch (viewable) flat-panel display, a DVD-Rewritable drive, and
1GB of memory.  It's also the first PC on the market with the new Hi-Speed
USB 2.0 peripheral interface, providing data transfer speeds up to 40 times
faster than USB 1.0.
    "The response to our new 700XL has been incredible," said Mike Ritter,
Gateway vice president.  "This PC has immediately won the respect of
influential editors and PC enthusiasts alike.  It's an awesome system that
includes the very best of everything:  hardware, software, peripherals, the
works."
