Acer bought the PC brand in 2007 and abruptly ended direct sales less than a year later. Well, just as quickly as it disappeared, Gateway has returned, complete with a new range of Windows 10 laptops exclusively sold at Walmart in the US.
Shop now: Gateway at Walmart
The lineup includes two-in-one convertibles, “Ultra Slim” notebooks with full HD displays, Intel chips, and Nividia RTX graphics, and even a “Creator” series. Some models even have displays and spatial audio both tuned by THX. The best part is Gateway’s goods start at $180, and more wallet-friendly laptops and tablets in a variety of sizes and colors will launch this autumn. If you’re working from home or have a student in the house who is remote learning this year, now is the time to pick up a spare PC. But you don’t have to shell out thousands. A trusty Gateway will most certainly do the trick. But it has a front-facing camera, built-in mic, and plenty of ports, making it perfect for those of you who just need something cheap for Google Meets or Zoom meetings. Oh, and it includes a one-month Xbox Game Pass for PC.
