Gateway M3414 —
I got this computer after my desktop died. At first it seemed to be a great buy but 3 days after the one year warranty ended the power button stopped working. Since the button is just a plastic piece that doesn't actually turn the thing on, I had to take a dremel and drill a hole so that I could use a paper clip to reach the button. Then, 3 weeks after that, it started shutting off for no reason. It wasn't overheating or anything. There wasn't a virus. The computer just was horrible. And the battery never worked for more than 15 minutes. I would never buy a Gateway again.
