#33 is right, this isn't being marketed to the style-conscious home crowd. seems more like a small business machine or random college terminal, with an ability to upgrade that isn't traditionally available with all-in-1 designs.
i see these style gateways all the time, in banks, real estate offices etc.
and hell yeah #1, whatever happened to good old metal styling that gave the impression that what you're holding actually cost more than 10 bucks to produce? this thing looks fantastic, it looks like a piece of electronics, cold and stark, with actual edges, wherein by comparison, holding an iPod feels like shaking the disturbingly soft, lotionized hand of an excessively-groomed, manicured young uberman.

"What's the best gaming laptop for under 1,500 bucks? I had my eye on the P7805u (Gateway), but it seems Best Buy has run out for the time being.

I'm a little worried about buying labels that aren't huge like Dell, Gateway, etc. Thanks!"
