Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Lots of stuff in a compact system!
Review: Great computer with additional features (TV tuner, PVR, etc.), and it takes up very little space.

Wireless keyboard is a pain, however - its reception to the system is poor and it eats batteries like crazy.

TV reception is snowy - don't buy it for the TV, buy it for the compact computer and the convenience of having the other things attached. You'll still want a regular TV.

This would also be GREAT for a college student in a dorm room.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Excellent for the Buck
Review: Outstanding computer for the price. Big time space saver. Great graphics. Fast. Dependable. Only negative is the remote keyboard (have to replace the battery every month). However, if i get too tired of that, i can easily just get another keyboard and plug it in. Not an issue really.

Summary: Gateway 610x Media Center
Review: Unfortunately for me I fell in love with this computer only to have it break down numerous times. The screen blacks out on and off. That was just the begining. Right now I don't get anything on my screen. Some people have said the video card must overload with all the components. I don't understand that kind of thing so all it is to me is that the computer turns on and the screen stays black.
Also I've had no success with the technical department at Gateway they don't seem to know how to remedy the problem. My computer has been on more trips than I have in the last year. I've been without a working computer for months now. I found the customer service and repair center at Gateway to be the worst I have ever dealt with in my life. Currently I am asking for a refund but Gateway refuses. I believe that in the future this type of computer could be a great tool for people who want everything compact and neat. That I give 5 stars to. I loved the concept of having all in one and being able to use all the great features (TV DVD CD RADIO COMPUTER And recorder and burner)together.
I don't however like being a tester for a product that needs to be adjusted. I think Gateway made a nice looking computer compact and great features. I do think they need to perfect it. Also the wireless mouse and keyboard need to be tweeked they don't always work well or at all.
I think I got a lemon! I'm sad that this turned out the way it did. All I can say is research research research don't buy a computer souly on the features. Make sure of the reputation and quality.
