The Gateway iGack?

It's like flea markets' Air Jordans all over again.

Everything from the webcam at the top, to the slot loading DVD drive, to the weird wannabe Apple Mouse is just a whole gimmick.

It kind of makes me ashamed to use PC's to be honest.

I think it'd be even worse if OSX86 was compatible with this atrocity.

We have to think of catchy names for it.

I think it's a pretty good looking computer. I like the ports on the power brick too, although it'll suck if it dies...although if the power brick dies, you're not doing much with the computer anyways. 😉 How is the mouse apple like at all? It's a fucking mouse.

The webcam is retarded though.

I don't like the concept of having all those ports on the power brick, or having a power brick at all. Both Apple and Dell found a way to put the power supply into the machine, which can be debated as to its merits.

My problem is that by putting all that crap onto the same place as the power supply is that instead of it being just a few bucks to replace the power brick should it fry, you have to get this ridiculously expensive brick because Gateway couldn't be bothered to put the rest of those connecters internally.

other than the webcam, i fail to see what's wrong with the way this computer looks

It is like the stone slab from 2001, it just sits there. The Dell and the iMac at least have them raised above the desk surface. It draws more attention to the screen that way.

Am I the only one that sees the webcam and remembers Johnny 5 from that movie Short Circuit?
