    The name "Gateway NV5929u" alone is a huge marketing fail in and of itself.

    Not to imply that mac users are 'cool' people or anything, but the whole pc realm is so nerdy. NV5929u? Seriously? How forgettable. Are Gateway's engineers and marketing people the same people?

    • people who buy gateway wouldn't care anyway, so marketing $$ saved.SteveJobs
    • always go the cheap route, eh? which company has been on the rise and is always in the spotlight? Apple or Gateway?iCanHasQBN
    • and whats the marketing expense in a one-word, memorable name? $0?iCanHasQBN
    • yes, that's pretty much how much effort goes into marketing. c'mon..SteveJobs
    • i'm just talking about the name itself. give it a simple one-word name that people can remember - at the LEAST.iCanHasQBN
    • i guarantee you nobody has ever stated "i'm gonna go pick up a NV5929u today!"iCanHasQBN
