Buy Gateway E-series desktop computers new or used from online and in-store retailers

Look for a Gateway E-series for sale at your local computer store or online, both new and used. This model series comes with a standard or upgrade option of DVD or CD-RW drives, up to 6 USB ports and lots of room for upgrade.

I recommend: Purchase the E6300 at Best Buy while stock lasts. Search eBay for new and used Gateway desktop deals. According to CNET, the E-series models are average in performance and lack the software package and high-end monitor of other computer models. If you aren't sure if you want to buy one, rent an E-series to try it in your office.

Upgrade your current E-series Gateway model to keep it modern

If you're happy with your current E-series model, there is no need to buy anything new. Just upgrade your systems with internal hard drives, memory, video and sound cards, as well as external speakers, display monitors, keyboards and mice. Update Gateway E-series driver and software information and the rest of the physical parts to keep your computer looking and performing at its best.

I recommend: Upgrade your RAM using the specifications listed in the manual for a Gateway E-series desktop. Purchase a new wireless keyboard and mouse as well as a new projector and widescreen LCD monitor for each system to give your staff a way to make better and more efficient presentations to clients and colleagues.

Purchase another Gateway model similar to the Gateway series E

Although Gateway discontinued the E-series, they offer many new high-performance PCs for your office. Consider choosing a new model that will give you all the great performance of the E-series with updated technology and a modern look.

I recommend: Search the Gateway website to compare and purchase similar models. Shop computer and electronics retailers to compare models and features side-by-side. Speak with a knowledgeable staff member about which will fill best your needs.

Update Gateway E-series drivers and keep your computer running smoothly

Use a virus scan to protect your Gateway computer from harmful viruses and worms, and run a program periodically to update any Gateway E-series drivers, or other drivers related to your model or peripheral type. Wipe dust off your computer, so it doesn't build up and organize your files to keep your system running efficiently.

I recommend: Load the latest business software onto your computers to keep them up to date with the rest of the business world. Upgrade to Microsoft Windows Vista Business edition and Office Small Business edition. With new upgrades, make sure to follow up with Gateway E-series driver information to make sure everything works cohesively together.
