Gateway G-Series PCs Nomenclature

What's In A Name? Have you noticed our new naming system for our computers? We have the same great systems, we've just changed what we call them. These new names are simpler to understand, and should make your computer shopping experience even easier.
No matter what name you see listed, please remember we are always happy to custom configure your computer to your specifications! And we haven't changed names to protect the innocent. You will continue to receive the same kind of value-packed, award-winning, just-what-you've-been-looking-for PCs we've always delivered.
Check out the explanation below for examples of our new naming system.
