A diverse assortment of leading publications -- from The Wall Street
Journal to Rolling Stone and Good Housekeeping -- have singled out Gateway
PCs, digital cameras, thin TVs, MP3 players, wirelessly connected DVD players
and other cutting-edge products for top honors.
Here's what some of the industry's most respected publications have said
about Gateway products:
* The Wall Street Journal reviewed the Gateway DC-T50 5MP digital camera
in its Sept. 3 issue, saying, "The sleek new Gateway DC-T50 open(s) a
whole new quality level of digital photography ... the shots from
the Gateway [camera] were sharper, truer colors."
* Rolling Stone gave the Gateway Connected DVD player four stars in its
Oct. 2 issue, saying "Why connect an ordinary DVD player to your
home-theater system when ... you can have one that not only plays
movies superbly but also pipes all the music, photo and video files
stored on your computer to your TV?"(1)
* Good Housekeeping rated the ultraportable Gateway 200XL notebook PC as
the "best overall" and applauded its "powerful processing and
features" in its November issue.
* Smart Computing magazine chose the Gateway 700XL as one of the 50
hottest PC products for the year in its December issue, describing the
system as a "killer PC with features and ultimate speed that make it
especially appealing for users who work with graphics and video." The
reviewer stated "this system's horsepower can't be beat."
* In December, Kiplinger's Personal Finance reviewed the 42-inch plasma
TV and said that "Gateway has made it so thin (about four inches deep)
that you can literally hang it on a wall, and the eye-popping color
and clarity will make it look as though your favorite movie,
high-definition-TV show or HD sporting event were happening in the
next room."
* In its December issue, Tech Edge named the Gateway 610 [Media Center]
as the best all-in-one PC of the year.
* Stuff magazine's November issue labeled the Gateway KAS-203 home
theater system as the "Best All-Around" in a round-up which included
the industry's top-selling home theater players.
* CNET.com reviewed another top-selling Gateway home theater system this
month, the Gateway KAS-303, saying "the 303's home-theater prowess
wowed us."
* Parade magazine included Gateway's 128MB MP3 player in two sections in
its Nov. 23 Gadget Guide -- both "Small Systems, Big Sounds" and
"Robert's Essential Gadgets." The review stated that "Gateway's
1.5-ounce digital music player is the simplest MP3 player to use.
Plug it into a USB port and transfer up to two hours of music."
* TechEdge E-zine awarded the Gateway M675 notebook this month with a
coveted "5 Thumbs Up" and their Editors' Choice Award, saying "If
there is any question about which notebook is 'the worlds fastest and
most powerful' right now, it's the Gateway M675."(2)
"Last minute shoppers can go to Gateway stores to get great deals on
products that have been applauded by industry experts," said John Long,
Gateway's director of consumer product marketing. "At Gateway, the
knowledgeable sales people in the stores can demonstrate exactly how the
products work and can help customers purchase the product that fits their
needs. And because all these great products can be found in the same store,
shoppers are certain to find the perfect gift -- or even something for
themselves."
