Gateway Inc. today introduces the Gateway LT21 Series netbook, which helps customers stay productive and connected for longer than ever with up to 10 hours(1) of battery life, as well as models with 802.11N Wifi and the latest technologies for mobile computing.
“Gateway LT21 Series netbooks are designed to go anywhere for use by anyone, as their sleek form factor and intuitive design naturally fit into how people live and connect today.”
The Gateway LT21 netbook models with the 6-cell Li-ion Extended (5600mAh) battery achieve unparalleled battery uptime. When combined with the new faster and more reliable 802.11b/g/N Wifi wireless connection, Gateway customers can use their on-the-go time to be productive and have fun.
Additional Gateway LT21 models are available with the standard 6-cell Li-Ion battery (4400mAh) and 802.11b/g Wifi and provide up to eight hours of battery life and a reliable wireless connection.
“Netbooks have been firmly embraced by consumers as an incredibly convenient, easy-to-use way to stay connected, be more productive and stay in touch,” said John Nguyen, product marketing manager for Gateway. “Gateway LT21 Series netbooks are designed to go anywhere for use by anyone, as their sleek form factor and intuitive design naturally fit into how people live and connect today.”
Offering the latest in technology, this ultimate mobile computing companion features the latest technology including an Intel® Atom™ N450 processor and an integrated webcam. Plus, its new sleek design has been updated so that it is more comfortable to use and transport.
Weighing only 2.76 pounds and measuring only about an inch thin, the Gateway LT21 netbook is easy to carry by hand or in a book bag or purse, so customers will have it handy to connect to the Internet, stay in touch, and access social networks like Facebook and YouTube.
Performance and Connectivity a Step Ahead
The new line of Gateway LT21 Series netbooks uses the latest Intel N450 Atom processor to deliver enhanced speed and responsiveness. In addition, the new Intel® Graphics Media Accelerator 3150 graphics with 64MB of dedicated video memory and support for Microsoft DirectX® 9 provides excellent graphics performance for crisp and clear visuals.
In addition to boosting performance, the new Intel Atom N450 processor requires less power, further contributing to the long battery life. So no matter which battery customers choose – the 6-cell Extended battery that delivers up to 10 hours of battery life, or the 6-cell Li-ion Standard battery that delivers up to eight hours – they can be assured they’re getting long battery life.(1)
Designed to keep customers connected on-the-go, Gateway LT21 netbooks are equipped with either 802.11b/g/N or 802.11b/g Wifi wireless for a secure and fast wireless connection. For personal visual communications, the netbooks are equipped with a built-in webcam that can be used to record video emails, video chat as well as capture memories with still photos and live video that can be posted to personal blogs and websites. Also, the netbooks' built-in digital microphone keeps background noise levels low for better voice quality. The Gateway LT21 netbooks feature Fast Ethernet for a speedy wired connection.
Designed to be the Ultimate On-the-Go Companion
The new design of the Gateway LT21 netbook was designed with the on-the-go customer in mind. The Gateway LT Series netbook line now comes with a 10.1-inch LED-backlit TFT display that delivers a 22.2 percent power savings compared to traditional netbook displays.(2) The 10.1-inch widescreen display has a 1024x600 resolution for crisp visuals while providing plenty of room to view digital media, web pages, email and more.
The netbooks’ new design includes a new larger keyboard that is 93 percent of the size of a full-sized keyboard with an enhanced design and layout that has resulted in larger keys and key pitch for an improved typing experience, especially for touch typists. Also, the 6-cell-batteries were designed to prop the netbook up slightly for a more convenient typing experience.
The unique Multi-Gesture Touchpad on the new Gateway LT21 netbooks lets customers intuitively navigate websites, documents and digital media with finger motions that are replicated on the screen. For example, customers can swirl their fingers in a circular motion to scroll through web pages, long lists of files and music playlists. Or, customers can use a pinching motion to zoom in and out on photos and documents.
Full-featured with all the latest technology features, the Gateway LT21 netbook line is ready to use for storing, sharing and enjoying digital media. They come with a full 1GB of memory and either 160GB or 250GB of hard drive space(3), so customers will have plenty of room for photos, music and other files. They can be easily connected to the latest peripherals thanks to integrated ports; they have three USB 2.0, Ethernet and VGA as well as a multi-in-one digital card reader.
Available in Cherry Red, NightSky Black and Glacier White, the Gateway LT21 Series netbook line has a subtle wave pattern in the lid of the chassis, enhancing its appeal. Models are available with either Windows® 7 Starter or Genuine Windows XP Home.
