Hopefully it doesn't break!!!!!

by crackdealer4u , Apr 22 '07

gateway 825GM
by charger69rt ,Jun 19 '06
Pros: fast, good features, seems to play well with long time mac user.
Cons: came as bare cpu...may have gotten better deal as a refurb
Bought this machine as a bare CPU from a vendor on ebay.

Fast, powerful, no issues with it other than Windows Media Center XP op sys, can't wait to try to make it sing and dance with Mac system 10

Purchased under pressure from my son, i am a long time Mac fanatic.

Paid less than $600 shipped, has PCI express mother board, rocket fast on the internet, and seems stable and very quick in all applications.

Overall seems pretty nice for a darkside computer

I was very pleased with this purchase
by alwaysarbonne ,Oct 24 '05
Pros: I like the sleek lines and how well it stores in my area.
Cons: The fan can be heard periodically
I was searching for a replacement for the HP laptop computer I had used for 5 years. I was concerned at first about the amount of space that it would take up and whether or not I would miss having the laptop. I am pleased to say that the Gateway 825GM was a solid buy. I have been happy with the speed and I purchased the wireless keyboard to go with it. The speaker system is well balanced and full sounding.

terrible
by kdifalco05 ,Sep 19 '05
Pros: none
Cons: everything bad support through gateway
i bought this computer to use for college. i have taken it back to best buy where i purchased it 6 times already. the computer went down the first week i had it. i do not know much about computers but i know how to turn one on and when i did i just saw a black screen. i have taken back to the store they told me they fixed it and the same problem. they tried to tell me i had a virus but i hadnt even been on the internet. i finally after the 6th time asked if i could have a new one same model they said gateway did not allow that. they said i would have to send it back to the manufacturer. i pay for shipping and handeling and if they couldnt fix it then i would get a new one. after weeks of complaining and call the company direct i got my money back. i went through hell to buy a new computer. do not recommend

Highly Recommend
by bertnchelle ,Aug 11 '05
Pros: Great all around Desktop!!
Cons: One,mentioned above
I purchased this system as a replacement for my old P3,700mhz clunker.It has more than enough speed and memory to handle just about anything you can throw at it.The TV tuner/recorder works great with a standard cable connection.The only issue I have had with it is trying to burn recorded tv to dvd,and I believe this is due to bugs in the WindowsXP Media Center Edition Operating System.Other than that,I love this machine.Great Graphics(128 mb radeon graphics card),mega-memory(1 gb of ddr ram,250 gb hard drive),and blazing speed (3.4 ghz P4,800 hz fsb,1 mb cache).
