- Humbick, on 10/10/2007, -17/+91Cmon.. yea its iMac-ish.. but its not the first all-in-one pc (esp. from gateway) and its definitely the best looking one.. and its a pc..
- reallydigginit, on 10/10/2007, -31/+103iMac copy? That's an insult to the Mac.
UGLY. - Gir9000, on 10/10/2007, -17/+78Apple has been copied for years, in design and software. This is not surprising, Gateway had an all in one prior to this anyway (years ago).
- NsinU8, on 10/10/2007, -7/+53WTF is up with that stand? It looks like it belongs on an 8x10 picture frame.
- ChromaVita, on 10/10/2007, -8/+46It's so cute to see how hard Gateway tries to do... anything effectively.
- rcfan, on 10/10/2007, -10/+45I don't like the large black area under the screen, looks dull!
- SaintStryfe, on 10/10/2007, -6/+36Looks like an ugly version of the 20th Anniversary Mac from '97

Good try Gateway. One day you'll be a big boy too. - ssavoy, on 10/10/2007, -13/+41Fugly
- OUChevelleSS, on 10/10/2007, -8/+29Did not realize people still bought Gateways...
- CinaMichele, on 10/10/2007, -4/+25the One? What is this, the Matrix?
- Roger, on 10/10/2007, -19/+39Its just a bigger and uglier version of the iMac.
Its cute that Gateway thinks they can pull this off. - yensed, on 10/10/2007, -7/+26Truth be told though. Gateway was one of the first PC manufactures to offer all in one PC's using LCD screens.
- NatrlSelection, on 10/10/2007, -3/+20I especially like the last pic of the guy acting cool on the couch, while "The One" looks like its probably in Barry White mode on the table.
- fkr3, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19All-in-one machines have existed for a long time, and even in their newest forms they're still only a minor jump from a laptop.
- monospaced, on 10/10/2007, -12/+28For $1800 you can get an iMac with a 24" screen (versus 19"), a 2.4GHz Core 2 Duo processor (versus 2GHz). I guess the video card is basically the same (correct me if I'm wrong) and the included 3GB of RAM on the One is really nice (would be really expensive to get that on the iMac). I guess the additional features, and the ability to easily swap out components, of the Gateway are nice, but it can't run OS X.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -19/+34They can gold plate it- as long as it's still running Windows, it's a piece of *****.
- jeffburg, on 10/10/2007, -9/+24strange when an equivilant pc is more than the mac
- Lionhart, on 10/10/2007, -5/+20Wow what a giant waste of potential screen area with that huge black chunk.
- diulei, on 10/10/2007, -6/+20I remember that, I believe NEC had one also - but they were both hideous. Apple is never completely creative - but when they do something they make it look good. Then people make a copy-of-a-copy and for some reason, never get the design aspect quite right (with the exception of Sony, IMO).
- SwabTheDeck, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15What's the point of spending ANY time to get it running on this thing? The article says it's $100 more than the cheapest iMac, has a smaller screen, a slower processor and doesn't seem to have an option for a dedicated graphics chip. So, why not just buy the god damn iMac? They do run Visduuuhh now, you know.
- wpjmurray, on 10/10/2007, -1/+13Apple has always been on the cutting edge with the all-in-one design. The new iMac, as well as all previous iMacs, were original designs. The only reason it's an industry trend is because Apple made it one.
- SpacedCowboy, on 10/10/2007, -7/+19As a Mac fan (not atic), let me be the first to say that that monstrosity is no copy. Instead of clean, elegant lines we have a sort of bulgy Mr. Potato-head imitation. In no way, shape (definitely!) or form is that a copy.
And it runs Windows, for [insert deity]'s sake. - resplence, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12A personal computer. They have been around since the late 70s. You can find out more in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_computer
- x0nIMIn0x, on 10/10/2007, -0/+10And the cheaper mac runs Windows, too. Bizarro World am bizarre.
- etandrib, on 10/10/2007, -0/+9What gets me is the iMac is much cheaper than this POS Gateway machine. I think it would almost be cheaper to buy a Mac and then buy Windows to run bootcamp for cheaper than the Gateway with worse specs.
- Ouze, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11it's a shame you had to add "mactards' - which will relegate your otherwise pertinent and intelligent post to negative digg central.
Here's a Protip, kids - On Digg, generally these keywords and their variants will automatically negate anything you post and get you buried - "Windoze, Winblows, Micro$oft, and now, Mactard'. - zweben, on 10/10/2007, -1/+9Bootcamp runs Windows natively. It's not emulating anything, so it'll run at the same speed as an equivalent PC.
- iching, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Thanks, been looking for a photo. It looks like from the photograph given that it has a bigger chin than Leno and the iMac combined, in fact, almost half of the face of the front of the computer is a chin.
- r3zonance, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10I'm not prepared to "spend enough time". I value time more than money. If I was prepared to spend enough time I'd be running Windows, but I'm not, hence why I'm running OS X on an Apple Mac.
- cheesefan, on 10/10/2007, -2/+10Reminds me of when Emachines copied the Apple iMac design.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EOne
Emachines is funny enough owned by Gateway now. - jttin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8the First Macs are all all-in-one.
- alexhengen, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Sure, but can it survive 4 bullets to the chest? Can it destroy hundreds of sentinels with the wave of a finger? I think not. The One my ass.
- colincornaby, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Why? The Mac is cheaper, has better specs, and also runs Ubuntu.
- bogslug, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7It looks a bit like the terminals on Star Trek:TNG.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8Apple did it with aluminium and glass, not ***** silver painted plastic and loads of wire like dell did
- warning9, on 10/10/2007, -0/+7Thats ok, I did not realize Gateway was still in business.
- actorboy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11I don't see how they're trying to copy the iMac with this. It's an all-in-one. You have to have an upright display, so the innards have to go behind the display. It's neither rocket science nor a rip off.
- SpacedCowboy, on 10/10/2007, -4/+11Oh no, I think they'll let this one go. I think they'll even insist any common resellers put them side-by-side. Can you imagine a better advertisement ? The thing is fugly. Really. Truly. Fugly.
To quote the phrase: "In no way, shape (especially!) or form is this a copy of the iMac". And that's the truth. - sliggy, on 10/10/2007, -9/+16I think this is great for Gateway. Everyone knows that they haven't been doing the greatest in the past few years (psh, who the hell has a gateway?), so even if this is Imaccish, it's still a nice computer. Dugg.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10Looks like Gateway has been digging in Apple's trash
- hamdogger, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8who cares if it's a copy or not. it has a smaller screen and processor and is more expensive, so it's a no-brainer anyway. or at least it should be. so there.
- kelchm, on 10/10/2007, -12/+18Gateway, you fail.
- r3zonance, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6It's nice to see that Gateway "decides the best viewing angle for the user". Oh well, what do the users know :P
- ggko, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Being the owner of the original G5 iMac, and bit of an Apple design nut (read: "I own and have read Paul Kunkel's book 'Appledesign' forwards & back,") I think the Gateway One looks fine. A solid black obelisk of computing power. I don't know why people are griping about the big black space under the screen ... how about a big white space?
http://images.google.com/images?q=imac+g5
My one gripe with it is the apparent placement of the optical drive slot. If peoples' desktops are like mine, there's junk cluttered all around the machine. The drive needs to be placed high for the disc to clear the mess. The little support leg in back looks scary too. - SaintStryfe, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8It runs as well as an equally specced PC. I've not found any problems, but honestly, I'd stick with Windows XP. It's just faster.
- Firehed, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8Who said anything about suing?
- Ouze, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6OK - I'll see your apple lisa and raise you an Osbourne 1.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osborne_1 - (April, 1981) - roberto_deneero, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6They have to charge more to recoup the cost of all those iMacs they had to buy to let their design team copy Apple.
- inactive, on 10/10/2007, -4/+10It must be quite depressing working in the design team there - "OK we need something that looks a bit like the new imac"
- ttamshadbolt, on 10/10/2007, -2/+8And this design really illustrates how well Apple does design
