Steve Smith, senior business manager for consumer desktops at Acer America, said: “Because all-in-ones integrate a desktop tower into the back of a flat-panel display, they typically use smaller, less powerful notebook components that don’t require a lot of space.
“However, Gateway was able to leverage the latest desktop components to give consumers the best of both worlds powerful performance and lower cost, all in a stylish, space-saving design.”
