the new PC lines are very different, they are both ideal for
students going back to school. The Gateway M320, starting at only
$1,099, combines the best features of mobile computing for students
who want to bring their notebook to class or study groups and take
advantage of wireless computing on campus. The notebook's key
features include a thin-and-light frame that weighs only 5.5
pounds(1), integrated wireless, enhanced battery life and Intel
Centrino technology. Plus, the Gateway M320 is one of the lightest
notebooks on the market with large 14- and 15-inch displays. The
new Gateway M520 is a full-featured notebook that rivals desktop
PCs in performance. The notebook line offers a 15- or 15.4-inch
widescreen display, Intel Celeron or Pentium 4 processing with
Hyper Threading (HT) technology and advanced multimedia
capabilities. For a limited time, the Gateway M520 CS is offered at
only $699 after $100 instant and $100 mail-in rebates totaling
$200(2) in savings. "Back-to-school is the time of year when
students get serious about their studies and these new notebooks
will help them get to work," said Ed Fisher, Gateway's senior vice
president of product planning. "At the same time, they offer great
entertainment features -- like widescreen displays, memory card
readers and ample ports for connecting to external devices. Our new
line of notebooks addresses a wide range of students' computing
needs, from performance and multimedia to mobility and battery
life." The Gateway M320: Thin and Light with a Huge Display
Boasting a thin-and-light design at a great price, the new Gateway
M320 notebook combines the highlights of mobile computing -- slim
size, wireless connectivity, enhanced battery life and excellent
mobile performance. Even though the notebook is only about an inch
thin, it is available with a 15-inch display -- one of the largest
for a thin-and-light notebook. Optimized for the demands of mobile
computing, the Gateway M320 notebook PC includes an Intel Celeron M
processor or Intel Centrino Mobile Technology with an Intel Pentium
M processor. The new PC also offers integrated 802.11g wireless to
let consumers, students and business users take advantage of
wireless computing at campuses, hotels and other WiFi Hot Spots.
Making it easier to remain productive on the road, the notebook
line offers up to 4.5 hours of battery life using a 6-cell Lithium
Ion battery.(3) The Gateway M320 comes with either a combo
