Gateway finally catches Mac 20th anniversary edition

Gateway knows where to go for style advice.

And any Mac fan who finds themselves getting rabid over this (posts 1-3 and anything similar) need to lighten up.

Mat, you just can't please all the people all the time. Try not to take the "bitchiness" so personal. =) I would MUCH rather read an article like this than even 1 more "lets hack and screw up our iPhone articles." But that's just me.

Personally, I find the One a seriously ugly Mac wannabe. Me and a friend of mine were laughing at how ugly it is before I saw your post, so I saw the humor in it.

Not only is it ugly, but it runs Windows and not only Windows... but Windows Vista. I mean ewwww... it just goes from bad (visually) to worse (Windows Vista).

the one looks tippy to me ... and I like the way the imac screen can be adjusted. It just looks odd to me , but it is a clean design

I used to own a TAM, and loved it. Even upgraded it with a g3 card. I think the One will do well for Gateway, which may have figured out a way to differentiate themselves besides shipping boxes that look like cows.

When I saw this post the other day, I started wondering, "What would they come up with today?" The TAM was a gorgeous, innovative product that was inherently flawed. If Ive and Jobs decided to make a 30th anniversary mac and charge $10K for it, What would it have? How would it look? Beside raw computing power, what would your fantasy machine look like?

man, I didn't realize there were so many people that actually liked gateway. Or actually that there were any people at all. I for one enjoy all the 20th edition mac jokes i can get. I remember that ridiculous thing quite well, and I was in high school at the time. People choose insane things to get mad at around here. remind me to stop reading the comments.

I've been a Mac fan for almost 20 years, but sadly--and amazingly--this new Gateway actually has a cleaner design than the current iMac. Ouch.

Gateway is crap. End of story. The ONE looks beautiful and may even work well but if I know Gateway, it's crap.

lol that's funny

FWIW, here's a detailed head-to-head comparison of the iMac and the Gateway One:

"Man, our we Mac fans that jaded, that when a PC manufacturer gets anywhere near doing what we enjoy claiming only Apple can do that we really have to dismiss it..." —Daniel

I don't know about anyone else but, personally, I dismiss Gateway's effort because it's ugly, not because "only Apple can do that" (design a stylish desktop computer with a small footprint). If you get one of these, remember to turn your head away from the screen before sneezing or you may knock your computer over!
