PC Magazine editors who selected the best products stated that one of the show’s biggest splashes was the launch of Gateway One. According to PC Magazine, Gateway One has upped the ante for other all-in-one makers. They also commended the product’s good looks, performance and upgradeability.

Gateway One is one of the industry’s slimmest and most stylish computers. The no-compromise elegant design, simplicity and expandability bring sophistication to the PC.

Gateway One redefines the home PC by emphasizing beauty and elegance as its outward focus. Gateway One also eliminates unsightly wires, requiring only one cable, providing a clutter-free, clean workspace. The system’s wireless peripherals and invisible speaker system eliminate messy jumbled cables, further enhancing its streamlined modern look.

“We’re thrilled that media and consumers are responding to the elegance and sophistication of Gateway One,” said Gary Elsasser, Gateway’s senior vice president of products. “Gateway is focused on delivering PCs that go beyond delivering outstanding functionality, performance and upgradeability to make a strong statement about the user’s personal style.”

Despite its compact design, Gateway One is a fully-featured PC with a widescreen LCD. When configured with an optional TV tuner, Gateway One blends Internet browsing, gaming, music and broadcast entertainment into one, making it perfect for the family room, kitchen, bedroom, or dorm room.

With a compact design and small footprint, it fits perfectly in space-constrained environments. Its high-fidelity sound system and ability to function as a TV, DVD and CD player make it a natural choice for those who want to maximize space and functionality without compromising on style or performance.

The beauty of Gateway One is accentuated by its extremely simple set up process. The wireless keyboard and mouse don’t require synchronization like most wireless devices, so consumers can simply remove Gateway One from the box, plug in a single cable and they’re ready to go. The cable plugs into a “smart” power module. Both the power module and the PC include strategically placed ports for accessibility and expandability.

Furthering its use and functionality, the Gateway One is almost completely silent when running. It uses much less power than a typical desktop PC, thanks to low-power components, an external power module and smart power management.

Perhaps one of the most innovative features on Gateway One is the PC’s front polished surface, which delivers high-fidelity audio, serving as a “hidden” speaker. NXT SoundVu patented exciters hidden behind the front panel vibrate the panel surface to create rich stereo audio. This invisible speaker solution elicits a jaw-dropping response from users and delivers a high quality audio experience.

Unlike other compact design or all-in-one PCs, the Gateway One welcomes expansion. Its tool-less chassis makes it painless to upgrade.

Despite its visual simplicity, the Gateway One is a no-compromise performance PC featuring powerful technology including Intel® Core™ 2 Duo processor and advanced graphics options.

Windows Vista® Home Premium, an adjustable and removable webcam and a Media Center remote control enhance the entertainment value of the Gateway One. The wireless remote makes it easy to play music or movies from across the room.
