On February 18, 2009, Gateway introduced new compact and lightweight TC Series notebook line, sporting a 14-inch high definition display, starting at $649.99.
The ultimate affordable pairing of mobility, style and multimedia technology, the Gateway TC Series notebook line was designed with the performance and cinematic mobile entertainment features that make it ideal for use as a mainstream notebook. The 14-inch Ultrabright HD widescreen display boasts an entertainment-ready 16:9 aspect ratio.
With sculptured edges and a unique blend of materials, the TC Notebook's distinctive look and feel is marked by the cover's unique branding stripe flanked by silver accents. The TC Series is available in two colors, burgundy and black, and features a textured palm rest and polished keyboard surround.
The 5.3-pound notebook fits neatly in a backpack or a briefcase, so students, small business professionals and consumers will be able to stay connected and productive while on the go. The integrated 1.3 megapixel webcam is incredibly simple to use, allowing consumers to have fun with live video conferencing and stay in touch with video emails, VoIP and still photos. The many hot spots and wireless networks available today give consumers access to the Internet using the TC Series' 802.11b/g Draft-N wireless. The notebook line features Gigabit Ethernet for a fast wired connection.
