The fun, flexibility and freedom of a "convertible" on wheels has a new rival in Gateway's new CX200 convertible notebook PC, a unique all-in-one device that combines the power of a full-featured notebook PC with the innovation of pen input.

The industry's first convertible notebook with a 14-inch widescreen display, the new Gateway CX200 gives consumers more room to take handwritten notes, draw diagrams, edit documents and enjoy entertainment applications.

The new Gateway CX200 convertible notebook is easy to use in a number of environments where a keyboard and mouse are not practical - such as taking notes in class or in a meeting, or while standing or moving around a school, home, yard or shopping trip. Consumers can use the notebook PC's Intel Centrino technology to enjoy wireless computing from hot spots now widely available at coffee houses, restaurants, hotels and college campuses to browse the web, check email, and share digital content such as music and photos.

The stunning 14-inch widescreen display is ideal for viewing DVD movies or digital photography on the go. Plus, the CX200 is offered with optional dedicated ATI MOBILITY X600 SE graphics with 128MB HyperMemory(2) or integrated Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 900 supporting up to 128MB of shared memory, so game playing is incredibly realistic. The CX200 comes with Microsoft's Experience Pack for Tablet PC, giving customers more fun applications to enjoy with the pen and display. The software pack includes features such as the Ink Desktop, which makes the display instantly ready to accept handwritten notes, Ink Art for creating digital works of art and Media Transfer to transfer digital media files from another PC to the CX200.

The Gateway CX200 can be configured for long battery life of up to 8.5 hours of usage time. Or, when mobility matters most, customers can choose the lightweight 6-cell modular battery. Integrated 802.11g or 802.11a/b/g WiFi options further enhance the mobile computing experience. The new convertible notebook is offered with a range of performance technology and premium features. The system features the latest Intel technology with PCI Express architecture and dual-channel DDR2 memory support. The CX200 can be purchased in several ready-to-ship configurations or can be purchased configure to order so it is optimized for enhanced performance, value or extended battery life. An example of a well-configured system:
