VERY FAST, boots in approximately 45 seconds ; VERY QUIET, practically whispers compared to my last cyberpower PC ; Runs wow on ultra easily (and still whispers) ; Sleek design ; Comes with free microsoft works at least (Office and Norton are only 60...

No blu-ray player compared to HP of same price range ; Keyboard and mouse are very basic (replaced them with a logitech G15 and Razer mouse after 2 days of use)

I replaced my previous gaming rig that I had for the past 5 years - another Gateway. It had served me well and lived through several large upgrades, but it was finally time to take the leap and get a new box ; Fast, Fast, Fast ; Lots of USB ports along...

Would have liked a little more RAM ; Way too much third party software to uninstall ; Sparse to non-existant documentation

LOVE the computer. Looks cool, fast as hell, easy to set up, lots of USB's and expansive room. A lot of computer for the money. I just looked at the specs of the 25 and that looks great too. A good buy and newEgg got it to me in four days. Awesome....

Nothing is perfect. The keyboard and the mouse are practically throw aways. Corded, cheap pieces of junk. I will be getting a new wireless set soon. Sad additions to such a great computer. Up the price $25 dollars and add a better k/m and this is a 5...

Simple setup and very high performance out of the box. Runs games on all highest graphic settings without issues. A very sleek designed tower for those looking for aesthitics. Very little preloaded trial software to delete

None so far. Wish it had wireless network adapter, but not really a con since most desktops do not come equipped with wireless
