| e1924's Full Review: Gateway 700 XL PC Desktop |
I purchased my Gateway 700XL (along with an extended warranty) in May of 2003. I used the system for a year, and I then put it in storage for 10 months while I relocated. I had the system wrapped by professional packers. When I unpacked the system, it worked for 45 days. Then the motherboard and the video card broke down and had to be replaced. Gateway honored the extended warranty--but the system was still relatively unused. I also had to pay $100 to have the system professionally packed, insured, and shipped to the Gateway repair facility in Texas. Today, the monitor went out--and my warranty expired on May 6, 2006. This is unbelievable that a system that just turned 3 years old has had so many major hardware problems. This is the last Gateway that I will ever purchase.
