Dx-4300 Series
Above are two Gateway computers that the eject buttons never really worked. One of the computers I click eject and it doesn't open right away. Then when it does I try to put a cd in but it closes as soon as I do, scratching the cd. My solution, avoid putting cd's in my computer or do it with lightening speed. I really don't recommend getting a gateway pc other than the monitor. The monitor is nice for the price and the colors on it are great. These computers have something very wrong with them. It almost seems as if when they were put together, the electronic parts and software were not meant for each other. The reason why I bought gateway was because it looked like it had the fastest cpu and the most memory and ram for its money.
After one year Sx2800 compact pc's cooling fan stopped working. The Sx2800 would not turn on at all. Getting this fixed would probably cost half as much as the computer itself. Luckily my dad, is an electronic engineer and is able to install a better fan that is external. Since they made the computer so compact, it heated up so much and burned out. After researching online, I found out that this was a common problem. When turning on the computer it gets stuck on the first loading screen or sometimes turns black and freezes there. How to fix it? Not sure, I just end up restarting it and hoping that it would work. Then, I think to myself "What is all the $50 you saved when your computer doesn't even work 100% of the time". It's possible going with an Hp computer could of been better. I don't trust them either.
On the topic of computers, we all know labtop batteries are meant to last about 2years. When they go out they are expensive to replace and is really annoying. Especially when you spend over $1,000 for a labtop. Thats why I stick to a desktop monitor.
