Advantages: Cheap, Reliable

Disadvantages: Not especially Student frienly

I am an engineering student at Cardiff University, and was looking for a first time computer that I could use for various programming and CAD projects. I found gateway on the internet, and saw this great value computer called "Essential 800". It seemed to have everything I needed. The only thing I had problems with initally was financing it; The company aren't particularly student finance friendly, however, other than that, I had no problems at all. Having paid for the system, I recieved it promptly, and it was easily set up. All in all a good company, even though they do ring from time to time to sell me "Discount" software, which can be a bit of a pain.
