Gateway ID47 line breaks new ground in the ultra compact department, says its makers, fitting its 14-inch HD widescreen back-lit LED display into a chassis used for 13.3" models. The ID's are easily carried in a briefcase or book bag.
The new Gateway ID and NV notebooks come with Windows Home 7 as well as a mass of extras: Nook for PC, Adobe Flash Player 10.1, Adobe Reader, WildTangent Demo Games, Skype, Norton Online Backup, and Microsoft Office 2010.
The NV series, on the other hand, boasts a larger 15.6-inch HD widescreen LED display for cinematic style viewing pleasure.
NV57 provides excellent mobile performance with second-generation Intel Core processors with Intel HD Graphics 3000 topped with 128MB of memory.
The series also boasts HD audio with Dolby Home Theater v4 Audio which delivers "crisp sound" through its full-length mesh speaker bar.
The upstyled PC's also offer "in-demand" sizes and are keeping up with the social network posse with one touch hot keys unleashing instant access to much loved Facebook, YouTube and Flickr.
Pushing the social hot key also launches an integrated widget that lets users update their status, post photos and video. This is handy, considering one out of every six minutes spent online (15%) is now spent on social networks, according to ComScore.
