Gateway 2000 was best known for shipping their computers in spotted boxes patterned after Holstein cow markings. Eventually, Gateway opened a chain of farm-styled retail stores called Gateway Country Stores, mostly in suburban areas across the United States, subsequently dropping “2000” from its name on October 31, 1998. The rest was history, literally, but now, the brand is making a comeback. Available exclusively at Walmart, this updated line of Gateway-branded laptops and tablets aim to combine style, performance, as well as value.
