IMO the Gateway One doesn't look as bad as most people say it is. However, its specifications are slightly less than what I would want. The screen is also higher off the table than the iMac, with less screen space. I prefer something with a large widescreen than something that is tall with only a 19" screen. And considering the height of the screen off the table, one would expect it to be almost vertical - to meet the user's eye perpendicularly. However, it is slanted. For short people, this may even mean that the user would be outside of the visible angle of the One (although in the picture below, it seems to have a wide horizontal viewable angle... don't know about vertical)

 

Also, I wonder why in the pictures, the Gateway One doesn't have a power chord. So we can assume that this pic is fake.

The keyboard is thicker than Apple's keyboard, yet with the similar shallow keys. If you want a thin keyboard, go all the way to thinness (like the iMac's keyboard). If you want a thick keyboard, go all the way to thickness (like old keyboards, or, even better, typewriters). Never have a keyboard that is thick with shallow keys.

 

 

Also, note the Windows Vista Beta 1 (pre-orb) user interface, as well as the Windows Vista Beta "Grass" wallpaper.

Speaking of which, there is a new technology by where you'll be able to recharge things like cell phone batteries wirelessly.

 

Yeah, I've seen several articles about different technologies to transmit electricity wirelessly. Supposed to have a range of 3-5 meters right now. Although testing has focused on eliminating the possibility of the frequency being picked up by humans. It would suck to be electrocuted just by walking near a transmitter.
