Designed for businesses, government agencies, educational
institutions and students, the award-winning Gateway 450 and M275
notebook lines are now offered in select configurations that
include new Intel Pentium M processors (previously codenamed
"Dothan"). The Gateway 450 is a mid-range performance notebook
popular with businesses and institutions, and offers an optional
built-in biometrics fingerprint sensor that can be used in lieu of
passwords for identity authentication. The Gateway M275 is a
mainstream convertible notebook that transforms into a Tablet PC by
rotating the display on a hinge, then folding it on top of the
keyboard for pen-based computing. "Our customers want notebooks
they can take with them anywhere so they can be productive and
creative without being confined to a single space," said Philip
Osako, vice president, mobile products group, Gateway, Inc. "Plane
rides, off-site meetings and classroom study can be more productive
than ever for mobile PC users with a thin-and-light Gateway
notebook with the latest Intel Pentium M processor and
wireless-capability." The new thin-and-light Gateway notebook
configurations take mobile computing to the next level with
Intel(R) Centrino(R) mobile technology for outstanding mobile
performance, wireless LAN capability and extended battery life.(1)
The new Intel Pentium M processors provide faster processing speeds
and larger cache sizes to result in greater computing power. Also,
integrated Intel(R) PRO/Wireless Network Connection 802.11b/g
ensures reliable WiFi wireless connectivity, helping people compute
and communicate in more places than ever, including hotels,
restaurants, convention centers, college campuses and SOHO
environments. "Gateway's new notebook PCs combine the awesome
performance of the new Intel Pentium M processors with the latest
mobile technology for computer users who want to use their PC to
stay in touch, remain productive and be entertained," said Anand
Chandrasekher, Intel vice president and co-general manager of
Intel's Mobile Platforms Group. Gateway 450 Combines Portability
and Performance The thin and lightweight Gateway 450 is the
ideal-sized notebook for customers who want the perfect balance of
performance and portability. The Gateway 450's starting weight is
only 5.79 pounds(2) and it measures less than 1.5 inches thick, yet
the notebook still provides unparalleled performance and extended
battery life to meet the needs of mobile professionals, including
SMBs, SOHO users, government and customers at educational
institutions and large businesses. The Gateway 450XL, priced at
$2,099.99, includes the Intel Pentium M processor 745 (1.80GHz,
400MHz FSB, 2MB Level 2 cache, built on the 90nm process), 15-inch
SXGA+ TFT display, 512MB DDR SDRAM, a 60GB ultra ATA hard drive(3),
and a DVD/CD burner. Businesses and institutions that have
standardized on the popular Gateway 450 line will be pleased that
the new Gateway 450XL is backward compatible with the existing
Gateway 450 line, allowing IT departments to continue using
standardized replacement parts, port replicators, batteries and
other peripherals. The Gateway 450 includes Microsoft(R) Windows(R)
XP Professional. Gateway M275: Innovative Blend of Notebook and
Tablet PC The Gateway M275 adds the flexibility and convenience of
Tablet pen-based computing to a thin-and-light notebook to enhance
learning, productivity and communications. By simply rotating and
folding the display, the powerful notebook becomes a Tablet PC,
enabling students, educational institutions, corporate and small
business customers to use their PC in new ways -- like to
conveniently handwrite notes, sketches or diagrams directly onto
the display in class or at a meeting. The digital media-ready
Gateway M275 houses two integrated media devices - - a
CD-RW/DVD-ROM combo drive and a four-in-one memory card reader that
can access Smart Media, Secure Digital Stick, Multimedia Cards and
Memory Stick cards. These storage devices, along with the large
hard drive, two USB 2.0 ports and IEEE 1394 connection, make it
easy to store, transfer, edit and share presentations, files,
photos and video using the Gateway M275. Priced at only $2,099.99,
the Gateway M275XL includes the new Intel Pentium M processor 745
(1.80GHz, 400MHz FSB, 2MB Level 2 cache, built on the 90nm
process), 512MB DDR SDRAM memory and a 60GB hard disk drive.(3) The
sleek Gateway M275XL weighs only 5.7 pounds(2) and measures
12.6x10.8x1.1 inches (WxDxH) and comes standard with Microsoft(R)
Windows(R) XP Tablet PC Edition. Availability and Limited Warranty
