Gateway has launched the new ID Series notebook PC line in Canada, which are available in 14-inch, 15.6-inch and 17.3-inch HD Ultrabright LED-backlit display models.
The 14-inch ID49 and 15.6-inch ID59 both have an aqua-blue touchpad that glows when touched. In addition, select models of the new ID49 Series feature NVIDIA Optimus graphics technology, which intelligently regulates the notebook’s use of NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics or integrated Intel HD graphics, depending on the task it is performing.
All models feature multi-gesture capabilities, 1.3MP webcam, media card readers that accept popular media cards as well as hard drives up to 640GB in capacity. A new integrated ‘social networking’ button gives customers quick access to their social networks on Facebook, YouTube and Flickr.
The ID49 and ID59 Series include support for Intel Core i3 and Core i5 processing technology and includes models that come with 4GB of DDR3 memory, expandable to 8GB. The Gateway ID79 line feature Intel Core i7 processors supported by up to 6GB of DDR3 memory that can be expanded to 16GB of memory.
Chris Chiang, retail product marketing manager of Gateway, said: "The look and feel of the Gateway ID Series notebooks is so unique that anyone will be drawn to them and will then enjoy the notebooks’ advanced capabilities and entertainment features.
"And with NVIDIA GeForce GT 330M graphics with Optimus technology, consumers can experience improved graphics performance when it matters, backed by battery life preservation for longer use."
