“To fulfill study and hobby requirements, Gateway-s newest line-up offers both families and students a wide range of options featuring the latest technology,” said Chris White, senior director of product marketing for Gateway. “Shoppers can choose from lightweight laptops for taking to class and study groups, powerful desktops with room for expansion as well as ergonomic displays for comfortable viewing at home. Our solutions are designed to provide quality technology at a price that won-t break the bank.”
New Gateway NE notebooks meet a wide range of needs for families and students who want the latest technology for school papers, research and presentations. Powered by the latest processors from Intel and AMD and supported by up to 8GB of DDR3 dual-channel memory, students have the power to multi-task as they enjoy everyday activities, such as web browsing, enjoying apps in Windows 8 and working on school assignments.
The Gateway NE lines come in models with either a 15.6-inch (1366 x 768) or 17.3-inch (1600 x 900 resolution) Ultrabright LED-backlit display. HD video and graphics are vibrant with vivid and accurate colors and superior image quality. The displays also show graphics and text that are crisp and clear. Plus, the two built-in stereo speakers and HD audio support enhance the entertainment experience with rich sound. The HD webcam and built-in microphone are great for recording video and photos for school projects as well as video chatting with classmates. The widescreen design makes room for a full-sized keyboard and a dedicated numeric keypad, a great extra for students in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math) classes.
The Gateway NE Series boosts usability with the connectors and ports that link it to popular consumer electronics for sharing data, photos and video. Customers will enjoy speedy file transfers on the USB 3.0 port that are up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0. The additional two USB 2.0 ports reliably connect to printers and more. The HDMI port lets customers use a convenient, single cable connection to deliver high-quality visuals and audio to a home theater or external LCD. The Gateway NE notebook line features large-capacity hard drives up to 1TB of capacity(1) for storing large amounts of data and files. Most models feature a super-multi DVD drive that is M-DISC READY for proven permanent archival quality data. With it, customers can back up important data, such as family photos and video, to M-DISC media that is designed to last up to 1,000 years.(2)
The Gateway NE Series was redesigned to feature smooth lines and a new slimmer form factor that is perfect for taking to classes and study groups. The Gateway NE5 models with 15.6-inch display measure only 1.0-inch thin, while the Gateway NE7 with a 17.3-inch inch display measures just 1.36 inches thin, so it can be easily transported in a backpack or briefcase.
