Background and Identification
Gateway was founded on September 5th, 1985 by Ted Waitt and Mike Hammond. Gateway, previously called Gateway 2000, has humble origins—it was founded on a farm in Iowa. However, Gateway became a successful and well-known computer manufacturer. Today Gateway is headquartered in Irvine, California and sells devices worldwide. Gateway produces laptops, desktops, monitors, and servers. Gateway’s farm origins resulted in the company using computer shipping boxes that were patterned like Holstein cows. This built brand recognition for the company, and it explains the current Gateway logo. Gateway was acquired by Acer in 2007, meaning Gateway computers are now a subset of Acer’s line.
The Gateway laptop line currently (as of summer 2020) includes the LT Series, NE Series, and NV Series. All Gateway laptops are designed to be portable, simple devices that optimize user productivity. They pride themselves in long battery life and slim construction. Some Gateway laptops (the NV Series) are touchscreens, offering 10-point touch capabilities. Gateway laptops are sold through various resellers, including national online stores like Amazon, Walmart, and Best Buy, as well as local resellers.
Gateway laptops are thin, rectangular devices with the Gateway logo on the back of the device. They are available in multiple colors, including black, silver, white, and red.
