"Gateway's new notebook lineup offers our customers the features
they value without a price premium," said Dan Stevenson, Gateway's
vice president, product marketing. "Our new offerings illustrate
our dedication to collaborating with our retailers to develop
products with a feature set that we believe will exceed their
customers' expectations." Stephen Baker, The NPD Group's director
of industry analysis, stated, "Gateway has made significant
in-roads in delivering quality products to retail in a relatively
short time. Gateway's strong brand name and loyal customer base has
proven valuable in its new distribution." The new notebook PCs
include many new models that have already begun appearing on retail
store shelves. Highlights of the new line include: Gateway 3018GZ:
Ultraportable Widescreen Notebook Starts at Just $999 The
Gateway(R) 3018GZ notebook PC sports a sleek and attractive design
that's just 1.2-inches thin and weighs only 5.25 pounds(1). Even
though it is extremely thin and light, it boasts features of much
larger notebooks. It includes a 14.1-inch WXGA Ultrabright
widescreen display, which provides maximum viewing area for movies,
digital media, spreadsheets and other documents. Unlike most
ultraportable PCs, the Gateway 3018GZ has a full-size keyboard, so
it's easier and more comfortable to use. Thanks to its integrated
802.11g wireless and 10/100 Ethernet, the PC is ideal for students,
small businesses and consumers who need a PC for computing and
connecting to a network and the Internet in various locations. The
PC also features an Intel Celeron-M processor, ample memory and a
large hard drive. The system is ready to access and store digital
media with a CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive and integrated 4-in-1
digital media reader that accepts Multimedia Card, Secure Digital,
Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro. The Gateway 3018GZ has a
manufacturer's suggested retail price of only $999.99. Thin and
Light Design with Premium Technology Gateway has packed all the
essentials of mobile computing into its new thin-and-light Gateway
series PCs. The new notebooks -- the Gateway 4024GZ and 4540GZ --
weigh only 5.5 pounds and measure just over one-inch thin(1).
Integrated 802.11g wireless connectivity allows users to connect to
WiFi hot spots at hotels, convention centers and college campuses,
as well as to wireless networks at work and home. Plus, Gateway
customers can stay connected during long classes and meetings,
thanks to the six-cell Lithium Ion battery that can deliver more
than 4 hours of battery life on a single charge.(2) The processor
is optimized for mobile computing; the notebooks feature either an
Intel Pentium-M or Intel Celeron-M processor depending on
configuration. Equipped with the latest technology that lets
computer users enjoy digital media on the go, the new notebooks
each boast a large hard drive, a multi-format DVD+/-RW drive, and a
4-in-1 digital media reader that accepts Multimedia Card, Secure
Digital, Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro. Also, the notebooks
each have one IEEE 1394 and four USB 2.0 ports, so digital images
from digital cameras and digital camcorders can be downloaded while
on vacation or a business trip. The 15-inch TFT XGA Ultrabright
display combined with Intel Extreme Graphics 3D results in bright,
vivid images. The new Gateway thin-and-light notebook PCs start at
a manufacturer's suggested retail price of $1,049.99. Desktop
Replacement Widescreen Systems Ready for Multimedia Gateway's new
line of desktop replacement notebook PCs deliver desktop-class
performance and features in the convenience of a mobile PC. Mobile
computer users will appreciate that the models -- the Gateway
7422GX and 7320GZ -- deliver top-notch performance for
productivity, digital media applications and gaming. The systems
boast either a Mobile Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 processor or AMD(R)
Athlon(R) 64bit 3400+ processor, depending on the configuration.
The new Gateway notebook PCs are ready for digital media with a
large hard drive, one IEEE 1394 port and four USB 2.0 ports, as
well as a six-in-one digital media reader that can access Compact
Flash, Multimedia Card, Micro Drive, Secure Digital, Memory Stick
and Memory Stick Pro. The Gateway 7422GX boasts the latest in
optical technology: a double-layer DVD+/-R/RW multi-format drive
that can store up to 8.5GB of data on double layer DVD media. The
Gateway 7320GZ includes a DVD+/-R/RW multi-format drive. The
impressive high-resolution Ultrabright WXGA 15.4-inch widescreen
display shows data in a letterbox format -- great for viewing large
word processing or spreadsheet files, as well as viewing digital
photos and web pages. The vibrant widescreen display is also great
for watching popular DVD movies. Graphics playback is enhanced with
dedicated ATI Mobility RADEON 9550 graphics in the Gateway 7422GX,
and Intel Extreme Graphics 3D in the Gateway 7320GZ. While the
systems are great for fun and gaming, they are also ideal for
productivity. They are broadband- and network-ready with 10/100
Ethernet, and come with integrated 802.11g wireless for connecting
to a wireless network. Additionally, the full-size keyboard eases
work and study time. Gateway's desktop replacement PCs start at a
