Gateway today announced
the Gateway M210 series, a stylish, thin-and-light line of notebook PCs that
delivers true mobility without compromising performance, functionality or
affordability.

With prices starting at just $899, the Gateway(R) M210 notebook PC sports
a sleek and attractive design that’s just 1.2-inches thin and 5.29 pounds(1).
It’s also one of the first thin and light notebook PCs to be optimized for a
14.1-inch WXGA widescreen display, which provides maximum viewing area without
sacrificing portability. Unlike most ultraportable PCs, the Gateway M210 has
a full-size keyboard, so it’s easier and more comfortable to use.

Long battery life and integrated 802.11g wireless make the Gateway M210 a
great holiday gift for frequent travelers, students, and professionals
desiring a light, yet powerful solution for productivity, digital media
applications and staying connected. The system’s integrated 6-cell Lithium
Ion battery provides 4.5 hours(2) of life, so users can remain productive on
the road.

Beginning Nov. 24, Gateway will offer customers the ability to personalize
the Gateway M210 to meet their unique needs. Customers will be able to choose
from select components such as hard drives, memory, processors and graphics
cards when orders are placed through Gateway’s direct channels www.gateway.com
and (800) 846-2000.

“The Gateway M210 is the perfect option for consumers and professionals
alike, who want a PC that’s light, powerful and affordable,” said Ed Fisher,
Gateway’s senior vice president of product planning. “We’ve brought this
product to market, so customers no longer have to choose between performance
and mobility. We’re also offering more flexibility with PC customization
options, enabling users to select the right set of features for their
computing needs and budget.”

Optimized for the battery life and performance demands of mobile
computing, the Gateway M210 notebook line includes an Intel(R) Celeron M
processor or Intel(R) Centrino Mobile Technology with an Intel(R) Pentium M
processor. To take advantage of wireless computing at home, school, hotels

Rounding out its communications capabilities, the Gateway M210 also includes
Intel 10/100Mbps Ethernet and a 56K V.92 modem.

The Gateway M210 series offers users a choice of a DVD-ROM/CD-RW combo
drive or DVD burner, a 40GB or 60GB hard drive(3) and 256 MB of memory,
expandable to 1256MB through the SODIMM memory slot. Integrated Intel 855GM
graphics with 32MB UMA video memory turn the PC into the perfect medium for
watching DVDs and developing presentations.

The Gateway M210 is ready to handle digital media hobbies, thanks to its
4-in-1 digital media manager that can accept MultiMediaCard (MMC), Secure
Digital (SD), Memory Stick and Memory Stick Pro media used in the latest
digital devices. It also includes three USB 2.0 ports for connecting the
latest peripherals, IEEE 1394 for video and an array of input/output ports.
