Built for the Journey Ahead

Gateway started in 1985 with a simple idea: computers shouldn’t be complicated. While others were building machines for tech experts, we were shipping PCs in cow-spotted boxes to regular people who just wanted technology that worked. That straightforward approach still drives everything we do today.

We design laptops and desktops for real life — for students pulling all-nighters, parents managing household chaos, and professionals who need their tech to keep up without breaking the bank. Our computers aren’t loaded with unnecessary features you’ll never use or premium price tags that make you wince. Instead, we focus on what actually matters: reliable performance, thoughtful design, and support when you need it.

The tech world moves fast, but some things haven’t changed since we started. People still want computers they can count on. They want to spend their money wisely. And they definitely don’t want to decode complicated spec sheets just to buy a laptop. That’s why Gateway keeps it simple — quality machines, honest prices, and no nonsense. Because your computer should be a gateway to what you want to do, not an obstacle to overcome.

Real Stories from Gateway Owners

Marcus T.

“My Gateway laptop handles my engineering software without breaking a sweat. The 16GB RAM and dedicated graphics were exactly what I needed, and I paid half what I expected for these specs.”

David R.

“I was skeptical about Gateway’s comeback, but this laptop changed my mind. The battery actually lasts the full 8 hours they promised, and the keyboard feels better than my old ThinkPad.”

Ana M.

“Got the Gateway Creator series for photo editing. The color accuracy on the display is impressive for this price point. It’s not a MacBook, but it’s also not MacBook prices—exactly what I wanted.”

Common Questions Answered

What’s the return policy if the product doesn’t meet expectations?

Products can be returned within 30 days of purchase in original condition with all included accessories and packaging. Refunds are processed within 5-7 business days after the return is received. Some retailers may offer extended return windows during holiday seasons.

How long does the manufacturer warranty last and what does it cover?

Standard warranty coverage is 1 year from purchase date, covering defects in materials and workmanship under normal use. This includes hardware failures but excludes physical damage, liquid spills, or software issues. Extended warranty options are available for additional coverage periods.

What’s the typical battery life for portable models?

Battery life ranges from 6-10 hours for general use like web browsing and document editing. Gaming or video editing will reduce this to 2-4 hours. Actual battery performance depends on screen brightness, connected devices, and running applications.

Are software and operating system already installed?

Yes, all units come with Windows pre-installed and activated, ready to use right out of the box. Initial setup takes about 10-15 minutes to complete personal preferences and account creation. Basic productivity software trials are typically included.

Can the memory and storage be upgraded later?

Most models allow RAM upgrades up to 32GB or 64GB depending on the specific model. Storage can typically be expanded by adding a second drive in available slots or replacing the existing drive. Checking the specific model’s technical specifications will confirm upgrade options.

Is technical support available after purchase?

Phone and online chat support are available during business hours for the warranty period. The support site offers driver downloads, troubleshooting guides, and community forums available 24/7. Premium support packages can be purchased for priority assistance and extended hours.
