Gateway, Now in Name Only
The Gateway computer company unofficially, but for all intents and purposes, ceased to exist at the end of 2007. It was split asymmetrically and sold to two different companies. ACER has acquired most of Gateway, including the low-end home user line of notebooks and desktops. They will continue to make laptops and desktop computers under the Gateway name. The business line of Gateway has been acquired by MPC Corp. They will be selling existing Gateway business models branded as MPC, merged into their own line of systems.
