Acer's keeping all three brands alive... for now.

so the rumors few years ago about gateway is not doing well is true. is that why they sold to acer?

Computers can be like cars---some good-some bad-I voted emachine--I haved one for 2 years--works great---as long as you stay on top of upgrades(software and hardware)-and don't beat the crap out of it by overheating and abusing the components.

I couldn't tell you the specific reason. But usually, one company sells when another one makes them a better offer than they can earn themselves... or the shareholders vote in favor of it.

Acer all the way. I've had 2 eMcahines so far and both of them stopped working after about a year.

Wow look!! I guess Acer is taking the gold! Def recommend acer over emachines. Emachines just have too many problems and Acer is a newer competitor but is already doing very well. Acer has acceptional pc's and is very easy on the wallet. That my two cents

Acer is not buying gateway? Or has it already happened? Srry I dont really stay up and informed with who's buying who. LOL
