In This Issue: Two New Perfect Power Players!



 


Greetings Electronics Enthusiasts!

So many of us these days find ourselves trying to do a “professional’s job” from our own living room. My own home resembles design shop, home theater, or printing press on any given weekend. Anyone who’s tried to design that new poster for the school play, while also printing out your kid’s book report knows that many home computers don’t pack the punch we so desperately need. Who can blame us? Most computers that have the juice we need at home are just too costly to even consider. In this special edition of HEJ, we’ll look at two very affordable new powerhouse computers from Gateway – one desktop and one laptop – which are sure to keep the neighbors wondering just how you did it all in only one weekend!

Happy power computing (from home)!

All the best,

Steven R. Mitchell
