The 15.6-inch NV5 and the 17.3-inch NV7 notebooks are sporting your choice of a blue, black, or a red matte lid.

NEW GATEWAY NV SERIES AFFORDABLE ENTERTAINMENT NOTEBOOK DELIVERS ENHANCED FUNCTIONALITY

Affordable Entertainment Notebook Offers Exceptional Performance, Style and New One-Touch Buttons; MyBackup Quickly and Easily Protects Data; PowerSave Enhances Battery Life

IRVINE, Calif., June 25, 2009 Gateway today debuts its new Gateway NV Series notebook, a workhorse entertainment notebook that pairs the latest notebook technologies and important one-touch buttons with excellent style at an affordable price.

Packed with premium performance features that deliver a stellar entertainment experience, the new Gateway NV Series is ready to deliver multitasking performance to take on the most popular everyday tasks with the latest technology including processors and graphics from either Intel or AMD. At the same time, the notebook's incredibly affordable price points, starting at $499.99, make the Gateway NV line ideal for anyone on a budget.

Designed for Entertainment, Staying in Touch

A cinematic entertainment powerhouse, the Gateway NV Series has a 15.6-inch High Definition LED-backlit TFT Widescreen display that gives customers a true cinematic viewing experience thanks to its 16:9 aspect ratio and 1366x768 resolution. As a result, it's perfect for watching HD movies and video, viewing digital images and enjoying digital media content. The notebook's Dolby Sound Room complements the video with spectacular surround sound from the two built-in stereo speakers. The HDMI port delivers crisp high-quality visuals and high-fidelity audio to a home theater or external LCD via a convenient, single cable connection.

The latest WiFi b/g Draft-N Certified connectivity will keep customers attached to the Internet to check email, websites, and other social networks like Twitter via convenient hot spots and wireless home networks. Connectivity on the go can be further enhanced by using the integrated webcam for video chats and video emails. The Gateway NV Series features communication buttons to turn the WLAN and Bluetooth functions on or off. The WLAN on/off is exceptionally convenient for customers who need to shut-off wireless operations but want to continue using their notebook, such as on a flight.

One-Touch MyBackup and PowerSave Keys Ease Customer Concerns

To help ease the concerns of mobile customers who want to protect their precious data, the Gateway NV Series includes a convenient MyBackup Button, a simple one-touch way to quickly and easily back-up all the important files and information stored on it, such as music, photos, video, contacts, emails and Internet favorites. The MyBackup Button gives customers a simple, convenient way to backup files to another location such as a USB drive, external hard disk drive, or another hard drive partition. Also, customers can set the MyBackup function to schedule a regular time to back-up data automatically or simply press the button for an immediate back-up.

"The need to back-up data has never been greater, since consumers have a greater quantity of important digital content than ever before such as photos and video,² said Ray Sawall, senior product marketing manager for Gateway. "With the Gateway NV notebook, customers have the MyBackup Button to conveniently protect their precious data to make sure it's available to enjoy and share more readily with friends, family, and online via social networks like Facebook and MySpace. All the additional features make it the ideal notebook to enjoy digital media, stay connected and productively handle projects for home, work and school.²

Gateway designed a conveniently located PowerSave Button on select models of the new Gateway NV notebook line. Located above the keyboard, the PowerSave Button allows consumers to easily prolong battery life to extend uptime for customers.(1) A simple press of it activates the advanced power saving settings, traditionally a tedious procedure accessed through numerous software-based steps. This one-button approach simplifies the process,
saving time while extending battery life.

Stylish Design, First-Rate Technologies

With a stylish and streamlined design, the Gateway NV Series notebook line is both eye-catching and comfortable to use. The smooth notebook case is covered with a subtle Honeycomb pattern that gives additional interest to the four vibrant, yet classic, color options that won't go out of style: NightSky Black, Midnight Blue, Cherry Red and Coffee Brown. Additional elements, such as the refined silver trim, rounded edges and classic barrel hinge that cleverly houses the power button, team up to give the NV Series a sleek, modern appeal. Additional design elements boost productivity. The wide size provides room for the widescreen display and dedicated numeric keypad. The widescreen display helps customers stay productive by letting them view multiple windows at once, while the dedicated numeric keypad is ideal for students and professionals that need to quickly and efficiently input numbers. Plus, the Touchpad Lock prevents accidental cursor movement.

The Gateway NV line delivers a great combination of technologies that boost the digital media experience. With an integrated media card reader, DVD burner and up to 320GB of hard disk drive storage,(2) customers will be able to easily and quickly view, download, store and share their digital media content.
