The Gateway of four years ago does not exist following its merger with
eMachine. There is not much visible track record for the new GW,
although from looking around in big box stores, they sell what appear to
be very competitive laptops, fully equipped, including some AMD64
models. Like most vendors with the possible exceptions of Dell, HP,
IBM-Lenovo, they likely purchase off the shelf from Taiwan, Inc. or
China, LLC with their own branding. The old Gateway had decent
offerings and very good warranty support. The warranty support was
fortunate since so much of what they sold desperately required
post-service repair and replacement.
