A whole slew of sites this morning spilled out info on Gateway's new "One" PC, which Gateway was
teasing us about the other day. Due to be announced tomorrow at Digital Life, the Gateway One is a sleek little all-in-one number, rocking a slot-loading DVD burner, a bunch of inputs and even wall-mounting capabilities. No word on screen size, but it looks spacious enough. The One hosts an easily-replaced hard drive and memory, along with a 5-in-1 card reader. You can score the One in one of three configurations, starting at $1,300 for a 1.5GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB HDD and Intel X3100 integrated graphics, and ramping on up to the $1,800 unit with a 2GHz processor, 3GB of RAM, 500GB HDD and Mobility Radeon HD 2600 dedicated graphics. The third version splits the difference on specs for $1,500. Apparently there's even a webcam hidden somewhere in the unit, though you couldn't tell it from the pics. There's another shot after the break.

...beat the iMac in chin size.
the jay leno edition
more like the 'fall-over' edition
LOL, from the front it actually looks like my 1st gen black nano. Yup, if I snap it in half it's the top half. Pretty slick but from what i know so far I think I like Sony is better. I guess that's not much of a compliment, but nice to see where they are headed.
"500GB of RAM and Mobility Radeon HD 2600 dedicated graphics."
damn. 500gb of RAM. That's pretty good.
Thanks, sorry about that. Fixed now.
Woohoo!
Who needs Solid State Disks with so much RAM on a graphics card!
It looks almost exactly like the 20th anniversary Macintosh, but with a larger monitor.
Yes, I have the same feeling too.
There are two problems with this computer.
1. You can't easily change the orientation of the screen (swivel along a horizontal axis).
2. The webcam if placed on top of the monitor, it has to be slightly tilted, otherwise, it will be facing upwards a bit.
There are 2 problems with your comment:
1) You have never seen one in person, and are basing your assessment on a couple of pictures.
2) You really think that they would not have considered where to aim the webcam?
oh, and a third
3) You don't word your comments like these are concerns of yours. You word them as if they are facts, which is pretty weak, and is FUD's younger brother.
Personally, I don't care for this at all. I agree about it looking a lot like the 20th anniv. Mac, which was nice at the time, and the chin is HUGE
Go PDubNYC!!! Are you Irish???
500GB or RAM @_@"
???bit?
please correct it...
How long before this story is pulled?
return of the 20th Anniversary Mac
500 Gigs of Ram!?!?!?! Sign me up!
I know your all thinking iMac... but im not allowed to say that cos' an army of anti-apple heads will comment me to death!
Otherwise a nice all-in-one :)
Because all-in-one desktops exists before the Imac?
Well no but i am reffering to the use of aluminium and a big black glossy display - they've not exactly tried to make the all in one unique to the competition. Not saying everything that has a glossy display and aluminium is mac like but you get my drift :)
@Jon
In fact, there was a time when all computers were "all-in-ones"
@Jon:
They sure did: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Macintosh_128K
All in one AND portable AND not a Mac: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_SX-64
500GB of RAM! woohoo!
vista only supports 4 gigs...what am i gonna do with the other 496 gigs?
64-bit processors can address 17,179,869,184 gigabytes of RAM.
Sell them on ebay
What if you don't like the screen angle?
Gateway's recommended solution is to adjust the height of your chair.
it's adjustable based on the foot in the back.
It looks like it has a roller on the support like the Sony SDM-hs95 series.
or you could bend your neck even more.
the idea is to limit the amount of time you spend in front of the computer screen.

It kinda looks like it would tip over if you poked it.
Don't poke it.
That works.
I think I like the look of the iMac a tad more...
Yes, I agree.
This really looks to me like a copy off the iMac, but that's just me...
Depending on what the screen size turns out to be, it also seems like the iMac may be a better bargain. Starting price of $1,300 with a 1.5GHz Core 2 Duo? The iMac starts at $1,199 with a 2.0 GHz part in it.
FUGLY
It's the Jay Leno of iMacs.
Just think, this is probably Gateway's make-it or lose-it deal breaker product. If this product fails, gateway is gone. I am curious to how this will sell, especially at a somewhat affordable approach.
Although I may have to buy me one of those external graphic cards for this puppy.
I really think there should be more comments about the amount of RAM here. Just in case it wasn't funny enough the first five times.
500GB of RAM? WOW!
500GB of RAM? That's AMAZING!
this thing has more ram then st. louis
ha..ha

Than? Got it.
Another correction by a frickin internet teacher, i'm sorry I made a grammatical error. Thanks for correcting me, I hope you will be able to sleep better at night. Here's my hand, you can smack it with a ruler now.
**presents hand...**
idiot
oh well. i got the first one, so it's cool.
the Imac gives better specs for the same price and looks better. However given the fact that OSX sucks...err still nevermind this is a Gateway probably just as bad. If they allow for upgrading parts or make the internals more accessible than the Imac maybe. I am not a fanof all in one units anyways so not for me.
If OSX sucks in your mind, you either are joking or don't use Windows. Otherwise you are simply clueless.
Windows is trash compared to OS X. I use a PC and even I know that.
@Rick
Wow. Getting a little angry there?
I prefer Windows, but I don't get so defensive about Windows when people say it sucks, you just don't have to be so angry. It's just a different method of clicking on folders.
