Gateway aims at new iMac with Gateway One
Today Gateway (soon to be a part of Acer) introduced a new all-in-one home desktop with a sleek minimalist design. Remind you of any recently introduced models from a Cupertino firm?
Called simply the One, the design is far sleeker than Gateway's earlier Profile systems and fits the entire design within a single metal shell just 3.6 inches deep. The entire front face is black to hide the borders of the 19-inch widescreen LCD and blend into home decor, such as the living room. The One also builds on Apple's minimalist emphasis: where the iMac plugs all cables directly into the back, the One feeds gigabit Ethernet, four USB ports, and AV ports to the external power adapter to take clutter away from the desk. Bluetooth and Wi-Fi are standard and eliminate the need for a wired mouse or keyboard.

It looks nice, but there is no launch date available yet, though pricing is: $1,300 with a 1.5GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB of memory, a 320GB hard drive, and Intel X3100 graphics; a higher-end model with a 2GHz CPU, 3GB RAM, 500GB hard drive, and Mobility Radeon HD 2600 dedicated video will go for $1,800.
