We bought a number of machines from Gateway a few years ago, with 3 year warranties, only to have Gateway sell off the warranty service to MPC who then went bankrupt and refused to service our machines.
Calling Gateway, who we originally purchased the machines and warranty from, told us to eff off and contact MPC for warranty service.
So, basically, our company was SOL.

Even if Gateway resurrects their business line, why would anyone want to buy a machine from them? Who's to say they won't just sell off your warranties to another company in the future and have repeat the same catastrophe?

I'd just avoid Gateway for any sort of business machine. Perhaps a cheap home gaming machine or something you could use them for, but forget them for anything else.]]>Apr 20th 2010 3:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/
Thankfully, we switched away from MPC's desktops long enough before the bankruptcy for it to bite us big time, but we still have well over a hundred MPC TransPort laptops that are now warranty-less, some bought less than 3 months before MPC went bankrupt.

None of this, of course, has any connection to THIS Gateway, which is basically just Acer, but it still leaves a very sour taste in my mouth.]]>Apr 20th 2010 8:22AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/actually does anybody knows where the gateway computers are manufactured or built?]]>Apr 20th 2010 3:59AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/Apr 20th 2010 4:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/
Indeed, "and, it comes with a red racing stripe!" It evokes 1978 to me.]]>Apr 20th 2010 6:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/Apr 20th 2010 4:13AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/Apr 20th 2010 4:15AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/Apr 20th 2010 4:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/Apr 20th 2010 4:28AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/Apr 20th 2010 5:01AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/Apr 20th 2010 6:11AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/Apr 20th 2010 8:26AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/Apr 20th 2010 8:37AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/http://www.engadget.com/2010/04/20/gateway-brings-back-business-division-with-dt-ds-series-desktop/Apr 20th 2010 9:15AM
