1 Specifications vary depending on model. 2 Actual throughput may vary depending on network conditions and

environmentalfactors such as network traffic or overhead, building construction and access pointsettings.

3 Up to 1 GB of available system memory may be allocated for system

resource requirements.

4 Shared system memory may be allocated to support integrated graphics,

depending on system memory size and other factors. Actual system memory available to the operating system will be reduced by the amount of dedicated and shared system memory utilized by the graphics solution and resources required by the operating environment.

(multiple streaming).

7 1 GB is 1 billion bytes. Actual formatted capacity is less and may vary

depending on preloaded materials and operating environment. Gateway backup management utilizes up to 10 GB of the stated hard disk capacity as dedicated backup space.

8 Your computer's battery life may vary depending on product

specifications, computer settings, and applications or features launched. The listed battery life is for individual battery packs tested with MobileMark 2007 in productivity test mode and with wireless connection on. All batteries' maximum capacity will diminish with time and use.

specifications.

In a continuing effort to improve the quality of our products, information in this

document is subject to change without notice. Images shown are only representations

of some of the configurations available for this model. Availability may vary depending

on region.

As a phenomenon known to thin-film transistors (TFTs), liquid crystal displays (LCDs)

commonly exhibit a small number of discoloration dots, as so-called "non-conforming

pixels." This phenomenon is a limitation of TFT LCD technology, not a product defect,

and as such is not covered by Gateway's warranty.
