Gateway has introduced the Gateway One PC, it is a Mac-alike machine which only requires one cable, plus it uses wireless peripherals making your desktop more elegant. The 19-inch widescreen display provides 1400 x 900 resolution, 850:1 contrast ratio and less than 8ms response time. It also houses integrated speakers (based on NXT SoundVu technology) and a power button. As reported previously, it comes in three models: two online and one retail. All of them includes dual layer DVD burner, up to 4GB RAM, 802.11a/b/g/n wireless, TV Tuner, an infrared Media Center remote control, and Windows Vista Operating System.

The “industry’s slimmest and most stylish computers yet” comes with decent specifications so could be a good buy for fashion conscious prosumers. “Gateway One exemplifies the idea of simplicity, of less is more,” said Gary Elsasser, Gateway’s senior vice president of products. “This computer complements its environment and becomes a design element you want to show off as much as you want to use. Because it doesn’t compromise on features or performance, it will be appreciated for its brains as well as its beauty.”

The three models are:

• The $1,299.99 configuration includes an Intel Core 2 Duo T5250 dual-core processor; Intel Graphics Media Accelerator X3100; 320GB SATA II hard drive and a 1.3 megapixel webcam.
