Gateway M320XL October 11th, 2004 | by Ian Bell

Introduction

Gateway has always had very strong offerings in the notebook market. They have consistently scored higher than other laptops because of innovation, value and design. But because competition has driven down the price of notebook computers due to manufacturing overseas and other factors, margins are slimmer than ever; and if you want to survive in this industry you have little room for error. Gateway has had to rethink their strategy for survival and if this means selling lower budget systems, then that is what they will have to do. The Gateway M320XL is part of Gateway's new product line which can be ordered directly from Gateway's website or at retailers like Best Buy.

The Gateway M320XL promises the consumer the same level of quality they can expect from the Gateway brand, but at a more affordable price. And from what we can tell, Gateway has accomplished this quite well. There are three systems in the M320 product line including the M320CS which starts at $999, the M320X which starts at $1199 and the M320XL which offers the most features and a price starting at $1799.
