Gateway M-Series and Gateway T-Series notebooks will be available
via Gateway's direct sales channels of phone and web as well as at
national electronics and technology retailers. The new notebooks
sport many advanced standard features that dramatically improve how
customers will use them for on-the-go entertainment, information,
digital media hobbies and productivity applications. The new PCs
feature a dedicated precision-touch multimedia control panel with
smooth-cut keys in the keyboard surround that provide one-touch
access to digital media content. The notebooks also include an
integrated web cam for staying in touch and creating video emails
and blogs. Several standard and optional features available on
notebooks purchased through Gateway's direct channel build on the
notebooks' vast capabilities, such as 1080p-capable display, an
integrated fingerprint reader and a High Definition Multimedia
Interface (HDMI) for digital video and audio out. Complementing
these advanced features, the two new Gateway notebook lines feature
consumer-oriented industrial designs in sleek and slim form factors
with distinguishing trims and treatments. The striking design of
the new notebooks is galvanized with a distinctive graduated sphere
Ridgeview(TM) pattern on the notebook's lid and palmrest over a
base of Crimson Red, Pacific Blue or Slate Grey. These new designs
are the first in the company's roll-out of unique patterns, colors
and designs for the two new notebook lines. "The Gateway M-Series
and T-Series deliver what consumers want in their notebooks -
exceptional style and the latest technology," said Todd Titera,
senior manager, consumer products. "And although the elegant design
of the notebooks conveys an exclusivity typically only available at
a price premium, Gateway has designed these systems to meet the
needs and budgets of a range of consumers. Anyone who wants to be
envied will choose the notebooks for their first-class design and
leading-edge performance and capabilities, while those on a more
limited budget will be surprised that they can get such a stylish
notebook with popular features." While the notebooks share many
capabilities and features, they differ in size to meet the needs of
a range of mobile customers. The notebooks each boast a sleek and
slim form factor that is easy and comfortable to transport. The
Gateway M-Series has a 15.4-inch widescreen display, ideal for
customers who want enhanced viewing options, while the Gateway
T-Series has a 14.1-inch widescreen display for those looking for a
great blend of multimedia and optimized mobility. Digital Media
Features for Entertainment, Enjoyment and Fun Gateway M-Series and
T-Series models sold through Gateway's direct sales channels come
with the latest technology that makes them ready for viewing High
Definition video and listening to high quality audio. The systems
each come with an HDMI interface that ensures delivery of the
highest-quality uncompressed digital video and audio directly from
the source, so content can be enjoyed as it's meant to be. A
high-resolution display option on the Gateway M-Series model
delivers 1080p viewing capabilities for superior HD images at 1920
x 1200 resolution. Additional multimedia features let customers
enjoy video, music, games and online entertainment on the go. The
precision-touch multimedia panel is integrated into the keyboard
surround with smooth-cut keys, giving customers convenient access
to frequently-used audio and video functions such as DVD, audio,
stop, fast-forward, and rewind. Volume can be controlled by the new
touch-sensitive volume slide. Front-access audio ports provide a
convenient connection for headphones. In the coming months, even
more options will be available to customers. Realistic PC games and
graphic-intensive applications can be enjoyed with optional ATI
Mobility Radeon(TM) HD 2400 XT PCI Express graphics on the Gateway
M-Series notebooks. Additional options for optical drives will also
be available on both lines, including a slot-load DVD burner for
convenient media access as well as HD DVD(TM) and Blu-ray(TM)
optical drive options for even more compelling HD video. The new
Gateway notebook lines both can be equipped with Intel(R)
Centrino(R) Mobile Technology and an Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo
processor, ensuring they are able to handle advanced multimedia
functions as well as multiple applications while providing maximum
battery life and wireless connectivity. On-Demand Connectivity
Keeps Customers In Touch Customers will be able to stay connected
to the Internet and email with the Gateway M-Series and T-Series
notebooks' advanced connectivity options. An integrated 1.3
megapixel webcam enables video conferencing and video emails.
Wireless access via hotspots is possible with multiple wireless
options including 802.11a/b/g or next-generation 802.11 Draft-N.
Optional integrated Bluetooth technology allows customers to
wirelessly connect to peripherals such as printers, mobile phones,
as well as a keyboard and mouse. The wireless connections can be
turned off with a dedicated switch for power conservation or use on
a plane. The new notebooks come with multiple battery options for
long battery life and mobility, letting customers use their
notebooks to their potential. They each come standard with a
six-cell battery. An extended 9-cell battery is also available.
Design-Optimized for Usability with Eye-Catching Style The all-new
industrial design of the Gateway M-Series and T-Series notebooks
make them stand out in a crowd. The design features distinctive
eye- catching graduated sphere Ridgeview(TM) design over Crimson
Red(TM), Pacific Blue(TM) and Slate Grey(TM) enhanced by other
treatments such as a unique aluminum keyboard surround surface,
slimming metal profiling and deluxe trims. Plus, the unique
high-quality finish protects the embedded graphic, providing a
smooth, stylish notebook exterior. In addition, every aspect of the
Gateway M-Series and T-Series notebooks' elegant design maximizes
customer enjoyment of the advanced features. For example, the
optional integrated fingerprint reader located below the touchpad
can be used for user authentication and data protection and can
serve as a password bank for access to password-provided websites,
folders, documents and applications. Plus, the widescreen design
provides room for viewing multiple documents and applications while
also making room for a full-sized keyboard. To help protect the
customer's data and investment, Gateway M-Series and T-Series
notebooks are pre-installed with a 90-day trial of McAfee Internet
Security Suite(TM) (Anti-Virus, Anti-Spam, Anti-Spyware, Firewall
and Parental Control)(1). The notebooks also include a proactive
service tool called BigFix,(R) which is included at no charge(2).
With the customer's permission, BigFix identifies and sends
messages offering updates to enhance the performance or
capabilities of the PC. Configurations, Pricing and Availability
