GatewayCX2620

Review: The CX2620 was my first laptop purchase, although I have always been an avid fan of technology and computers. Choosing the CX2620 was an easy decision. The CX2620 is one of the first tablet pc’s that have become affordably priced. Also, whereas most ...

Pros: Display, tablet features, value

Cons: Size/weight, Gateway tech support

Review: I've had my CX2620 for about 8 months, purchased new at BestBuy. The first one I got had display problems that could not be solved, but the 2nd unit I got has been just fine and used nearly every day. Given issues in general with Windows laptops, I ...

The Bottom Line: I would say look around before settling for this computer-It's a real gamble as to what quality product you're getting.

Pros: Screen was easy to keep clean with a microfiber cloth.

Review: I purchased the Gateway CX2620 in June 2006 from BestBuy for $1499 (with a 3 year warranty thank God) intending to use it to teach math when school reopened in September. When I turned it on in August to try it out, the stylus did not function. After ...

Pros: Looks good

Cons: Lack of tablet functionality

Review: Stay away from these units...Gateway is having a lot of issues with the screens and the stylus' not being recognized. A lot of these units have been returned due to this defect alone. I have already gone through two units which had the issue and I am on ...

Pros: Looks good

Cons: Weight, technical problems

Review: We bought one.....now we have sent it back to gateway three times within 3 months of owning it. There seems to be a problem with powering the computer up and gateway cannot seem to find the problem, because they keep sending the machine back and it ...
