"Gateway cx200x"

This computer is great performance wise but the fan is constantly running and the computer heats up like a stove. Mine actually melted its hinge and now I'm using this model hanging from the wire. Also three keys popped off, one of them the same day I got it. Design and performance are fantastic though!

I work at a help desk in an institute where we have dozens of M280s. Half have serious motherboard issues and all have file corruption issues. They are both glitchy and physically prone to break. Find another model of Gateway if you insist on a cow-puter.
