Gateway ZX2300: An 18.5-inch all-in-one PC |
We’ve been seeing all-in-one PCs more often lately. The latest is this 18.5-incher, the ZX2300 from Gateway, which should be available in Taiwan soon. The system is powered by an AMD Athlon 2650e CPU that runs on Windows XP Home, and supports 1GB RAM and a modest 160GB hard drive. LCD screen resolution is 1366 x 768.
The 18.5-inch display will give you a 16:9 aspect ratio. The ZX2300 also features Wi-Fi, webcam and a 16X LightScribe DVD burner. The PC will sell for about $530. No word on exactly when it will drop, but those in Taiwan will have a first crack at it.




The netbook is one of the only segments in the computer industry that is posting strong growth during the global economic slump. Sales of netbooks have soared posting growth rates of 160% according to some analysts.
New notebooks are being introduced by the dozen this time of year. This year we are seeing some new types of systems hit the market with netbooks being very popular. Gateway is also introducing a notebook with a different size LCD than we are used to seeing.
For certain users the desktop PC is still the way to go. These are people who don’t travel a lot and demand serious performance from their PCs. Two of the most common members of this group of power users not interested in a notebook PC are gamers and digital media enthusiasts.
Gateway has been busy introducing several affordable gaming notebooks over the last year so. Typically, when you think about a gaming notebook, you’re talking about spending thousands of dollars to get the privilege of playing games on a notebook. Gateways FX series of gaming notebooks have been able to deliver the bulk of the performance of high-end and very expensive gaming notebooks — from the likes of Alienware in Dell — at a much cheaper price.

The little computer company started by Ted Waitt in a farm house near the Iowa-South Dakota border and later made the Fortune 500 has had an impressive 22-year run is now being sold to Taiwan’s Acer for a reported $710 million. This move appears to be a win for both companies as Gateway, although still ranked as the 3rd largest PC maker in the US (tied for 3rd), hasn’t had their best sales this past year. Also, Acer will now have a chance to have an instantly larger presence in the US market and plans to keep the Gateway and eMachines brands alive (we’re not sure about the dairy cow boxes).
The FPD2485W 24″ Widescreen display from Gateway features 1080p High-Definition Support, an impressive 1000:1 contrast ratio, and 1920 x 1200 resolution.
