No Room, No Problem: All-In-One Gateway Profile 5.5 Packs
Performance Into a Small Space IRVINE, Calif., Sept. 20
/PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Building upon five generations of design
enhancements, Gateway, Inc. today launches the Gateway Profile 5.5,
the newest version of the company's popular all-in-one desktop
line. (Logo:

newest upgrade to the space-saving series, the Gateway Profile 5.5
packs more processing punch per square inch, featuring Intel's
next-generation 915G chipset, integrated Intel graphics with up to
128MB shared memory and higher-bandwidth serial ATA (SATA) hard
drives. The fully field-serviceable desktop also continues to offer
15-inch, 17-inch or 19-inch screen sizes. While end users enjoy the
Profile's sleek design, IT managers benefit from the unit's lower
total cost of ownership (TCO). In fact, according to a TCO analysis
from Gartner, Inc., deploying Gateway Profile PCs at a small- to
medium-sized business can trim as much as 4 percent in IT costs due
to fewer shipped components, quicker installation and easier
serviceability. Gateway Profile PCs are often deployed in
space-constrained settings, such as classrooms, computer labs, call
centers and lobbies. Targeted at businesses, government agencies
and educational institutions, the Gateway Profile 5.5 has a
starting price point of under $1,400. Standard configurations
include a 17-inch screen and Pentium 4 processor, but multiple
options are available. "Customers now have the best of both worlds
with the new Gateway Profile 5.5," said Marc Demars, Gateway's
director of business desktops. "Not only does the new PC maintain
its space-saving form-factor, but it now also offers Intel's newest
915G chipset, higher-capacity SATA hard drives and greatly enhanced
graphics capabilities." With each iteration of the Profile Series,
Gateway builds improvements based on customer feedback. The most
recent Gateway Profile 5 launched in November 2003 with features
including a field-serviceable chassis that minimizes maintenance
costs and an adjustable LCD display for improved ergonomics. The
Profile 5.5 builds upon these advances with the latest processor
and graphics technology from Intel. As with the Profile 5, the 5.5
version offers easy-to-use floppy and optical drives accessible
from the front of the computer, as well as two IEEE 1394 and six
USB 2.0 ports on the side and back. While the Intel 915G chipset
(featuring an Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4 520 processor with HT
technology (2.8GHz, 800 MHz front-side bus, 1 MB cache) is
standard, the PC is also available with Intel(R) Celeron(R) D
processor options. The Profile 5.5 also supports up to 2GB of DDR
RAM and hard drives ranging in capacity from 40GB to 250GB(1). The
PC features built-in gigabit Ethernet, optional 802.11g wireless
and Gateway Client Manager software based on LANDesk technology,
which allows IT managers to easily monitor and manage PCs across
their network. The Profile 5.5 is available with either
Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Pro or Microsoft(R) Windows(R) XP Home
and comes standard with a standard, three-year limited warranty.(2)
