gateway cow manure of computers

Written: Aug 20 '01
  • User Rating: Disappointing
  • Ease of Use:
  • Quality of Tech Support:
Pros:it arrived quickly
Cons:power supply is inadequate, hard drive crashes quickly, slow booting, internet slow to respond
The Bottom Line: save your money buy a commodore 64

I purchased a gateway 1200 select 40 days ago and have had nothing but problems and tech support is unresponsive. First it arrived with ribbon cables not connected. Once these where connected boot up was slow. When connected to the internet it would take up to 60 seconds to transfer to another site. The final blow was when the computer would automatically shut down when starting. Tech services continually placed me on hold and then informed me I would be required to drive over two hundred (200) miles to have the necessary repairs made. When I informed them that I refused to undertake the drive I was transferred to another department and placed on hold for another 20 minutes. Customer satisfaction is not priority one for gateway.
