Gateway have announced a bevy of new thin-and-light notebooks, the EC14, EC54 and EC58, each packing Intel CULV processors, WiFi b/g/n and up to 8hrs battery life. The Gateway EC14 is the baby of the bunch, with an 11.6-inch display, up to 500GB storage and up to 8GB of RAM. Meanwhile the EC54 and EC58 both have a 15.6-inch display, are an inch thick and have an aluminum chassis.
Gateway have unveiled two new all-in-one PCs, which each run Windows 7 and offer multitouch-capable touchscreen displays. The Gateway One ZX6800 and ZX4800 have a 23-inch 1920 x 1080 and 20-inch 1,600 x 900 display respectively, and as well as Windows 7’s finger-enhancements the company has also loaded them up with various music, photo, memo and other custom apps.
With only a few days left leading up to CTIA Wireless in San Diego, Verizon wireless pulled out all the stops and announced a boat load of new phones and a new subsidized 3G Gateway netbook. The most impressive handset from the lineup is the HTC Imagio powered by Windows Phone 6.5 aka HTC Touch Diamond 2 (which we’ve reviewed here). Other handsets include a rugged clamshell by Motorola – the Barrage, a unique phone made by Personal Communication Devices (PCD) and finally the Nokia Shade.
While expensive ultraportables may get the bulk of online attention, the real battle is going on at the budget end of the market, where netbooks, CULV ultra-thins and cheap notebooks are fighting it out for a slice of the lucrative back-to-school audience. Into the fray steps Gateway, no stranger to the segment, and they’ve brought along their NV5214u, very much the desktop-replacing notebook rather than a slick but underpowered netbook. With an MRSP of $499.99 it certainly ticks the budget box; check out the full SlashGear review after the cut to see if it can tick any others.
Gateway have announced a new netbook, the LT2000, a 10.1-inch Intel Atom N270 based machine with 1GB of RAM and a 160GB hard-drive. While the specs of the Gateway LT2000 may not be anything unusual, the company is hoping that the $299.99 sticker price will tempt in buyers.
Gateway gave updates to their P series FX gaming notebooks today that provide models that are cheaper for consumers. While the updates weren’t trumpeted out with fanfare, they are still important to note.
Gateway have rolled out two new small-form-factor (SFF) desktop PC ranges, its SX Series and DX Series, offering a choice of AMD or Intel processors, HDMI connectivity and compact desk footprints. The first SX model is the Gateway SX2800-01, a Core 2 Quad Q8200 2.33GHz desktop with integrated GMA X4500 graphics, 4GB of DDR memory, 640GB hard-drive and a DVD burner.
Acer subsidiary Gateway have been showing off their all-in-one touchscreen PC, and with a multitouch-capable 23-inch Full HD display it’s certainly no slouch. Unlike touchscreen nettops, the Gateway ZX6800 packs an Intel Core 2 Duo processor and DDR3 memory, and runs Windows 7.
If you have always wanted a computer that had the look and feel of a sports car while still being, well, a computer, you’re in luck. The latest from Gateway comes in the form of the ID series and these notebooks feature the design of Pininfarina–Ferrari extraordinaire.
